Is this pack better or worse than you expected?

View Results
[Recurring subscription] Happy to see Bloodstained finally featured in a Choice, it makes me have hopes that not all is lost with Humble Bundles and their recent decline in quality.
[New subscription] I’m genuinely interested in this lineup. I’ve been eyeing some of these titles for quite some time now and I’m glad I waited.
[Maybe subscribe] Personally, I'm a bit torn between considering this selection ‘mediocre’ or ‘pretty good’.
[Pause] By now, I'm really thinking of quitting my subscription but I don't want to lose the classic plan by cancelling. Another Pause it is.
[Cancelling / will not buy] I’ve had enough of IGN’s shenanigans, and I think it’s time to finally abandon ship.
[Protest] The monthly GOG troll game is becoming a bit bothersome. They could at least pick titles that aren't on Steam!

carto seems awesome - bought it on group buys for 1 EUR so i´m happy now^^

Was the same for me :)

Had 4 games on my wishlist from this bundle but ended removing all of them after a closer look.
But Carto caught my attention instead of them :)

Thats why I am still hessitating. I shoot some trade offers on barter and will see what will stick. Worth case I lose the discount and cancel completly, since the last bundles were a major letdown for me.
What are the ones you are still looking out for from this bundle?

Superliminal
Carto
We need to go deeper
Drake hollow
A FATE

But there are 2 more i'm eyeing with.
Actually if you don't get the responses you want on barter i'm happy to take over the full bundle so that you don't have to cancel.

Meh!
Finished Bloodstained on Gamepass. Great game. With a Steam key for Encodya I would have taken the bundle for these two games but this way it's an easy pause.

Bloodstained was on my radar, but I already have some unplayed metroidvanias and I don't feel that much interested in it, so it's a pause for me. Now, I'm ready for Fanatical's next mystery bundle. :3 (just kidding)

Seeing that Bloodstained was published by 505 Games, I'm still hopeful that one day we'll either have Death Stranding or Journey To The Savage Planet in a Choice bundle. (or both)

This game is so boring+no 'tutorial' you dont even know what things is for what

Yet, lots of people are raving about it... What makes me so unsure about Bloodstained is that I'm reminded of Blasphemous, another metroidvania that received many praises and ended up in a Choice bundle, which I was this close to get for that game alone... Thankfully, I was able to download the Blasphemous demo from Steamdb, if I'm not mistaken and oh boy, was I disappointed.

Sadly, there doesn't seem to be a demo for Bloodstained and I'd rather pause the Choice bundle, because Bloodstained was the only game I was interested in, but I fear that would just be another Blasphemous for me.

yes, you can compare it to blasphemous. At least Blasphemous got original visual-style...

Carto is nice, but don’t know if the others are worth it since unfamiliar with those games.

Pausing for now.

I guess, I'll try to win Carto. I've already got Subliminal, and everything else looks horribly boring (except for Encodya, but yeah, GOG only).

GOG wouldn't be a deal breaker for a person who really wants it though, so long as they also want something else in the bundle to get the value from it.

Bloodstained in my Steam library.

Well, this is a big ol' pile of "meh". Not a good month for me at all. Bloodstained is the only game I really want. A handful of others that look OK, but I doubt I would actually play. And can we please stop with the co-op party games in Choice? They're not bad games, but they are all pretty much the same thing and have been/will be bundled TO DEATH or given away free somewhere. I already gave away a copy of Out of Space that I didn't want from a recent Fanatical bundle that was MUCH cheaper than this.

First pause since 09/2020 and I have been quite lax with pausing since that. This has 0/11 games that interest me and one already owned.

...Damn it! Honestly, would be kinda tempted just for Bloodstained (and with Superliminal and Carto looking pretty nice too)... but then I look at all those other games- a bunch of co-op and Early Access games which I don't really have a reason to trust... a friggin' MMO. I really don't wanna have anything to do with those. :/
(Plus there is the whole "pay a lot more than everyone else because you're not a regular customer" thing which is still in full effect. <.< )

Eh, skip as usual.

Is there any chance Encodya will receive Steam keys later down the line?

Edit: I see the dev alreadyposted a message on Steam about it:

Hi everybody,
as it is already late in the evening and most of us are not in the office anymore, I will forward your questions regarding this as soon as possible by tomorrow.
Just to mention, please be aware it is clearly stated on the Humble Choice page, that this is only a GOG-key.
.
However, please be aware that I cannot and will not make any promises so far.
.
Simply stay tuned and if you want a Steam-key and you want to support the developer of this great game, why not buying it directly here on Steam, maybe even the Save The World Edition, which includes the beautiful digital artbook and even the amazing soundtrack of this game, which are both not included in the Humble Choice bundle.
.
Summed up:
I heard you, stay calm, stay tuned, and I will get back to you as soon as possible, to get this sorted.
.
Disclaimer:
Please try not to bump, or even spam this thread, as this will not speed up this process, as I have explained already at the beginning of my post.
Thank you for understanding.
.
-cheers

I think the "summed up" part is very inaccurate.
Should be more like. It's a GOG key, nothing is going to change. If you want a steam key, buy it on steam.

I am not sure but I think this is a case of small developers with not enough sales yet so they can't get the necessary amount of Steam keys from Steam to provide to Humble so GOG key it is.
Thought last time with the other GOG key game it was the same issue.
But then again if that is the case, they could just state it like that and people will get it ( except the few die hard entitled spoiled brats)

In any case, no steam key will come for Encodya.
Not that I care much GOG has a good platform.

looking at the second reply from the devs, they bascilly said tough cookie, we don't care

And it matters because they took the spot from a dev who could deliver on steam
