I like playing with friends also, and this bundle has several that are multiplayer. Out of Space and Drake Hollow are designed with multiplayer in mind, and Last Oasis is an MMO.
Carto isn't multiplayer but I just wanna say it's a great game too! =)

Yeah I ended up not renewing my gamepass just because I got annoyed when there was overlap with Humble. I agree a lot of these games don't have the curb appeal, but Superliminal and Carto (if you haven't played it on gamepass) are both excellent games.
Not trying to talk you into it but just trying to make you less depressed at the sight of it lol.

The same thing happened to me, although it can change Bloodstained for another game; you should take advantage to exchange it there are many interesting offers

There are several other sleeper games in this bundle that you may be pleasantly surprised with if you decide to pick it up. I can personally recommend superliminal and carto if you're not opposed to those styles of games they are very enjoyable.

I'm glad to see this positivity for this month's bundle because I also am very pleased with the selection. Unfortunately I'm a bit too pleased, because there are a lot of games I have already played and enjoyed!!

Don't let it pass you by, a good month like this is something to take advantage of!

me, please?

me.

i like carto too!

Yep, my post in the thread was banned as marked as disrespectul, so here i am reposting a soft version expurged of what might have triggered it. Since these scumbag publisher can't take critisism on steam forum, they'll have no power here to mute us.
Opening new thread there is also unadvised, since it'll probably lead to a ban, these guys are in such dumpster fire of bad PR. it's getting hilarious.

Sad for the other developers that has nothing to do with this mess, but i'll ignore them as well since this publisher is related to it.

I too like a lot said are unhappy with other "drm" keys taking slots in HBC, which was in its initial contract "only a curated selection of STEAM games", the same contract being changed numerous times along the way without our consent or even a survey. What will be next, some uplay and epic keys mixed into it ? Make them separate bundles, like they did with an epic exlusives key, which sold miserably.

This is most certainly my last year subscribed to classic plan, since i'm pissed i NEVER EVER get a coupon or offer for pausing while many are getting incredible price cut for pausing most of the time. If IGN can't reward fidelity and loyal customers, then screw them, they'll lose more in their effort to attract new unloyal customers than retaining the ones subbed from day one.

This gog key unsatisfying answer won't be forgotten "assemble" pub, i think you'll suffer monetarily from the backslash you put on yourself.

Has anyone actually read anything from Chaosmonger Studio (the actual developer) on the subject yet? So far I have only seen replies from the publisher, Assemble. (Not saying they shouldn't be held to task or that they're innocent or had no choice in this, just genuinely curious if they have replied anywhere at all.)

To be honest, I don't really understand why some people seem to be so riled up about not getting a Steam key for that game, to be point of ignoring games from the devs/publisher. I for one certainly prefer to get my games on Steam, but if I was interested in playing a game, GOG is ok in my books.

I kinda understand if the devs/publishers didn't really want to give out Steam keys for Encodya... Once your game is bundled, it gets devalued a lot and indie, niche titles that aren't sought-after end up selling for pennies, maybe a dollar, on the gray market because and thus, I believe, makes those games even less worthy of their sale prices in the eyes of bundle enthusiasts. I think that since GOG is less popular than Steam, giving out GOG keys might be a way to circumvent the devaluation. But maybe I'm totally wrong. And maybe they have other reasons for offering GOG keys.

If anything, perhaps people should point fingers at HB instead, as... if I remember correctly, the Monthlies started as being a curated bundle of Steam games.

Keep on skipping. You will eventually find something that catches your attention.
