First they take away our choice. Now they take away our surprise (monthly leaks). Are you still excited about what allegedly is considered to be "the best bundle" of the month?

View Results
[I like the spotlight game(s)] Nice lineup and even if the spotlight games are 2 years old, it’s still much cheaper than buying them during sales.
[Only with limited deal] My poor wallet is still Surviving the Aftermath of the Easter expenses and would probably not take yet another push. Better wait and see if any discount coupon will be allocated later this month.
[Happy] Those are 8 pretty solid games, IMO. I’ve always wanted to try Planet Zoo / Command & Conquer and now I finally can!
[Neutral] Not the best bundle, but all around, not a terrible one either. I’m not really sure if it warrants a purchase or not.
[Pause] Considering that I have to pause my subscription every month, wouldn’t it be so much easier to have a 'Resume subscription' button instead?
[Disappointed, lineup] Doing Jurassic World Evolution with DLCs right before Planet Zoo without DLCs smacks of utter laziness.
[Disappointed, Origin] When will they finally learn that we don’t want Origin keys when the game is on Steam?
[Canceling the subscription] …and I don’t even have any regrets about that.
[Choicetato] I'd rather go back to having 10-12 niche indie games that I mostly never heard of than 8 bigger titles that don’t interest me anyway.

Ironically, now that it takes so long to build up the discount perks, I find it easier to simply keep on pausing.
It literally freed me from FOMO.
Also, wasn't Origin ending? What gives?

It was Bethesda Launcher that was/is ending, EA just shuts down their keyless redemption system. Actual keys are not affected.

Not a stellar lineup, but it was something I could enjoy. Until I saw the origin only C&C. Hard pass, I already have gamepass for that

It's funny, but every time I see people completely trash talking a bundle, I usually find it interesting. I like this one. Surviving the Aftermath and Spellcaster University are both on my wishlist. I wish Planet Zoo at least came with some DLC's, but I'll probably try it out none the less. Decent bundle I feel.

I'm right there with you. Every time I see a Choice bundle that I think looks OK, everyone else seems to be foaming at the mouth over how it is the worst thing ever. Or else the games people are excited about are the ones that I see as crap filler....

Yeah, exactly! Even though it's rare that I buy these bundles, it's simply just because I don't enjoy the kind of genres that are being offered. I don't necessarily think they're all bad bundles just because I don't like them.

And I honestly think I'm a bit spoiled as well from bundles. When I was a kid I happily paid 30-40 USD for a game. Now I'm like "12 bucks for 8 games? Only 2-3 of which I like? I'll think about it"

I don't know why everyone here skips so often. I haven't felt like one of the bundles was "truly" bad in a while, and I'm also pretty happy about this one.

Same! I rarely buy these bundles, but it really doesn't mean they're bad bundles, just that the games offered are not my interest at all. As you said, it's been a while for me as well since I thought a bundle was truly terrible, and not just for me.

Aye, I think people just like to talk also; not sure why there's a need to announce what you're doing.

If found... is really nice by the way, bought it at full price and don't regret that, C&C too, especially if you played the games first time round.

It seems I judged If Found... too fast. I looked at the screenshots and thought, nah, doesn't look like anything to me. But since you recommended it I watched one of the trailers, and I have to say I'll definitely be trying it out.

And I definitely played some of the C&C games back in the day. I own the collection on Steam, because I thought now might finally be the time to actually try out Command & Conquer, because I never tried the first one. I came on board with Red Alert, which was freaking fantastic, but never the first one. Unfortunately I've been softened either by the (lack of) difficulty of games coming out today, or by age, possibly both, and came to a mission that I couldn't beat, and then I got frustrated haha.

Yeah, you probably won't be persuaded too much regarding C&C, but honestly the campaign is still pretty solid (even if at times a little buggy).

Glad to hear it about If found..., it's just very cutesy and different, and really scratched the visual novel/alt-story itch.

I think those who skip/pause/talk about it are perhaps those with not so much money (nothing against that, I struggled once), or relying on pocket money and can't justify it unless it offers some mega line-ups (which would not cost $6-$12). Heck, people were even complaining when there were a hundred games in the Ukraine bundle for $40. The only bundle I really didn't get on with was the Katana Zero one, as it didn't feel it had a stand out game for me.

This bundle seems good with Spellcaster (was interested in that), If found... (already bought full price), plus C&C (already own it, full price too when it launched) and some small games I hadn't heard of. Can trade away Spongebob for a decent game I will play, C&C too.

Not even one single game in this pack that I would want if it were gifted to me. Without realizing this bundle was out, I had already clicked "Hide" on a few of these games up for giveaway here on Steamgifts.

I wonder why If Found is so strict in regards to regions. In my 2+ years as a Humble Choice subscriber the only other key I've had an issue with was Outward, although that one at least makes some sense because of the multiplayer element.

Outward is because of its publisher, has nothing to do with MP or not.

Not a great bundle, but I'm mostly OK with this one.

Planet Zoo and C&C are both high on my wishlist, but lack of DLC and Origin key, respectively, temper my enthusiasm quite a bit. Spellcaster University and Surviving the Aftermath look like games I might enjoy. Neutral on Genesis Noir, and absolutely no interest in If Found and SpongeBob.

I played Embr already, and was very disappointed by it. Maybe other people will find it fun, but for me it seemed like the game didn't know what it wanted to be. Early levels were fairly bland rescue missions, and middle levels were more puzzle-oriented. And then it suddenly becomes all about deathtraps and balancing on narrow beams with your wobbly character. Gave up on it about 70% of the way through.

I was happy, then i saw origin... i have xbox game pass ultimate, and the game is included there.... I want steam games... I only want spellcaster university as i would prefer just buying jurassic park's dlc than a vanilla version of planet zoo....

I feel like they are trying, at least i haven't insta-skip this month i'll take some time to think about it... If i forget about it, it would be the second mistake monthy i would have bought for last 10 month... I start to loose hope i'm really thinking about quitting that classic plan, doesn't feel like it worst anything any more....

Ha, guess I do not need to re-sub this month. Surviving the Aftermath looks interesting, kinda similar to what I have been playing for the past 2 weeks: Endzone - A World Apart

Already have planet zoo and some of its dlcs. Prefer a bundle including all dlcs for this kind of dlc monster games than only base game in monthly choice. Surviving the aftermath and spellcaster of university can’t tempt me to keep subscription this month.
