Is this pack better or worse than you expected?

[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!

Hmm it's not a bad bundle. I can't play Bloodstained right now because of being on a mac, but it is something I kinda want to play at some point.

I like the look of Carto. Might be fun.

Encodya looks nice. GOG isn't a deal breaker as I play games from there too. Will see. I have lots of time to decide. lol.

EDIT: Oooh, I see now that Nowhere Prophet is a deckbuilder... I spend most of my time playing those lately. I might bite.

I love roguelike deckbuilders and Nowhere Prophet was on my wishlist. I'm going to bite and hope this and the other games are good!

I hear ya,
the spoiled levels are high in some people here.
If that type of attitude spills over into their real life as well...
Well I pity them with having to live life with such a negative outlook all the time.

i could have bought the bundle for $8 and Superliminal, Carto and As Far As The Eye are interesting to me, so it would even be "worth" it. but on the other side: i would increase my backlog with them and mostlikely i would never play them (beside Carto) so i rather went to group buys and bought carto there, already installed and started to play it and the others i will skip so my pile of shame wont grow further^^

Something interesting here. The sub for Carto in China is 500576, which was supposed to work with CN accounts only. But something went wrong, and now it can be redeemed anywhere but China LOL.

I would have loved to be a fly on the wall by the "Chaosmonger Studio" and "Assemble Entertainment" for the past few days. You would think they expect the backlash for not joining the humble choice with a steam key. I hope they do research before deciding such a decision.

Backlash? Hmm, not sure I'd call it that. Let's face it, it's an indie game, so they've probably not made much of a profit thus far. They put a Steam key in there, that's it, it's on grey market sites for the next eons and they've devalued their hard work. Steam keys are more marketable and they know that. A few disgruntled Humble subscribers is worth the exposure they'll get from people who will actually play the game and give it honest reviews. It's a pretty fun little game btw... downloaded myself.

Why are people so against GOG? You don't even have to use the launcher, (unlike Epic) just download directly and play. Steam achievements aren't everything, or shouldn't be. =(

Already have Bloodstained, and the remaining games make this the weakest bundle I've ever seen on Humble. Very easy pause for me, maybe even a cancellation. Not sure yet. Too many coupons being given out to others that are better than the classic plan I'm on now.

Do i have to necessarily claim this month's games to avoid losing the 6$/month promotion?

Comment has been collapsed.

Yes, the $6 for 6 months promotion requires the user to not pause during the time range.

A good part of the bundle depends on multiplayer for gameplay with two in early access. Ugh.

You're not allowed to do trades here. If the mods find you, you might get suspended, so you probably want to delete/edit your post asap.
Go to GroupBuys forums instead to try.

You're not allowed to make group buy proposals here either. It's the same as trading. Hassat was just trying to save you from suspension. There is a Steam group for that. ;)

That bundle looks great to me. I really want to play Bloodstained, Carto and Encodya and also I reached a point where I don't care about having my games on Steam that much. So it doesn't really bother me that the latter one is on gog.
Another great looking game in this is Blue Fire. Unfortunately I bought that one on my ps 4 a short while ago but hey at least it will make a nice giveaway

too many multi-player games, not enough friends :(
Last Oasis" is just unplayable now, with new season coming they might bring back players. loved the game idea but not enough players

Bloodstained, Superliminal, A.FATE, Nowhere Prophet might be the reason i buy

Carto is a great game, played it on Gamepass last month.

I am confused with the MP and strategy games poured into this bundle though. Other than Carto, only Blue Fire looks interesting to me. And maybe Bloodstained, though I find I suck at these sort of games late-game, and end up rage-quitting.

I do the same thing with the more difficult platformer types. I like them, but I eventually run out of patience. lol. I tell myself I'll go back later, but it never happens.

Yeah, I tend to ignore games that are tagged difficult, souls-like or rogue-like as these seem to be the ones to cause me most unnecessary grief. I'm in it for fun and hopefully some sort of story.

I do enjoy some rouge types, especially in the form of games like Slay the Spire. That game brutalised me, but I loved it. I kept going til I beat the heart with all four characters haha, and I still love that game.

8 wishlisted games! :o Including Encodya
2 games I haven't heard of before looking kinda sus (Cepheus Protocol & Drake Hollow), but not enough not to give them a try...
As always, coop games will pose the greatest challenge - finding other people to regularly play these together

All in all, this is in my opinion one of the best monthlies in recent months. Some people are complaining, but it could really be so much worse.

This is probably the best Choice I've seen in a while. 7/12 games I'm actually interested in.
Bloodstained, Superliminal, Carto(!!!), As Far as the Eye, Drake Hollow (though unsure if my old PC can handle it), Nowhere Prophet, and Blue Fire

I personally don't mind the GOG key, it would be nice if they gave us a choice between GOG and Steam but at least it's not an Epic key so there's that... as for the games, Bloodstained, Superliminal, Carto, As Far As The Eye, Drake Hollow, Blue Fire and Encodya all look like really interesting games, i'm probably picking this up. If only Last Oasis weren't so PvP centered...

Last Oasis is dead. 400 players currently, all time peak is 33k.

Pretty weak monthly at first glance. Maybe some of the games will grow on me but I'm only interested in Bloodstained. I'll only buy it because I have one more month @ $6.
