$12 for Hollow Knight, HITMAN™: The Complete First Season, and 7 Days to Die, that's a sound deal, eh?
I subscribed 2.5 years ago and haven't skipped a single month. I will be breaking my streak because I no longer have faith.

Anyone know how long giftlink emails currently take? I've been waiting a while for one :(

Worst reveals since Monthly bundle exist. Nearly all rebundled (in a different edition or not)... And in the same time there were crazy offers for new subscriber (Kingdom Come Deliverance...). I guess the money needed for these crazy offers didn't come from nowhere and that explain why we got such bad reveals...

That's great, happy gaming! ^_^ This does look like a bundle of very wanted games (for what I understand/have seen), but very one-dimensional which is why it was a miss for me. Of course, I somehow knew to expect that from an American company releasing a bundle on Halloween... Really should have requested a refund when I noticed they had charged me earlier than usual. Oh well, this was my last Monthly unless there's some great incentive coming my way in the future (like those "Monthly for $4" coupons some got last month or the compete Crusader Kings II as an early unlock).

Sniper Elite 4 was early unlock in a previous month bundle, now they use SE 1&2 as fillers...
Anyway that's just additional usual "backlog"

Dayum. Not a single reveal to save the bundle.
This bundle is pretty much full rage quit.

It's definitely not as bad as the others are making it out to be.
It's 12$ for 9 generally well regarded games, whats to complain about? They can't cater to everyone all the time.

Yeah but I guess because they are so well regarded, pretty much everybody has them already.
The only reason I've had them on my wishlist forever and didn't get them at the last two or three sales was my Alienware was in the shop forever and I was stuck with some old Dell laptop running XP until I got my gaming computer back.
The only thing you can say about this bundle is that it's not very diverse, which makes the odds of already owning the games higher.

I can agree with that. Having 2 older Sniper Elites was a strange move for sure.

The problem is not the quality of the games per se imo.
Its that many of the games revealed today were heavily discounted before, are old or rebundled. So there is a high chance that most people already had many of the games.
Its not what Monthly used to be. They were more focused on a AAA-ish as early reveal and a bunch of newish or famously good/unkown-but-good indie games.

Like Hitman?
and a bunch of newish or famously good indie games
Like Hollow Knight?
unkown-but-good indie games
Like The Dwarves and Hard Reset?
I can see where your coming from, but I don't personally find it appalling that some of the games are older, or if 1 or 2 of them have been in a bundle before.

Hollow Knight was probably the single one of the kind of indie games I was referring to, and you also only gave one example of each.
I would also not consider The Dwarves as the kind of game I was referring to. It looks ok but I don't think anyone is like "wow what a surprise, look at this gem!".
In other times, we would have maybe Hitman as a single early reveal and Hollow Knight plus one or maybe 2 on the same level as Hollow Knight and other smaller indie games. None would be a rebundled game (like Resident Evil Revelations) or older games that almost everyone has (Dead Island).
Just the fact that we got a rebundled and old games that goes for a very low price on sales shows how the quality has decreased.
I'm not saying its not a good deal, if you don't have most of the games (which can happen if you're new to Steam) then yeah, good, but to keep their original audience bundles like this can't repeat too often.
This would be a great normal bundle otherwise, I just don't think its suited for a Monthly.
But thats just mine opinion.

Really not the kind of games I would expect in a Monthly. These games just don't feel 'right' to be included in it, being pretty old etc. Having two of something (Sniper and Sniper V2) is great I guess, if you like that, but I think it's better to have a variety of things so lots of people get something they like. And what happened to the Humble original?
To be honest, it kind of feels like all the 'rules' are going out of the window and they're just shoving whatever they can in there. First they were all going to be Steam keys plus one DRM-free which might end up with a Steam key later on. They were all supposed to be, well the majority 'previously unbundled'. I'm pretty sure the 'at least $xxx worth of games' has quietly gone down in value, too.
The Kingmaker thing still has me a bit sore, too. I'd been half hoping it might be in the reveals as well even though I knew that was unlikely, just because it would be pretty funny.

That's the worst unlock I've had. Personal opinion.
Comment has been collapsed.
Wow, this monthly's unlocks were full of filler. Sniper Elite 1 & V2? One is over a decade old and costs 0,79€ during sales, the other is owned by most people, who coincidentally got it from other cheap bundles or completely free.
RE: Revelations has also been in bundles before.
Everything else I'm satisfied with.
Overall, it's barely worth it. But barely still means it did it. It's just that the quality ranged from worthless to amazing value. This value fluctuation isn't a good sign for Monthlies in the future.
If they're willing to stoop so low on their highest value quality product, I think they're slowly preparing us to accept worse and worse games.
Perhaps I'm wrong. But I'm worried that I might not be.

I've had Humble monthlies that I didn't like, which is just part of the game. But this is the first one, I think, that is barely adequate and contains games that should have been rejected without a second thought.
The Sniper Elites are pretty insulting, and if they had to include them - presumably this was part of the deal that got them Sniper Elite 4 - it should have been as some sort of optional add-in offer, like maybe pay an extra dollar and get these back-catalog games. They're just fodder, really. My Resident Evil comes from another Humble bundle, so we should get some sort of opt-out on that one. The re-skinned Dead Island, well, it's technically a good enough filler game, but if the future is going to be filled with technically good enough games then the monthlies will get un-viable quickly.
Disappointing.
