Does anyone have experience with any of the games and, if so, would you recommend them? Is there anything in here that you're particularly excited to play?
Also it's pretty much a monthly tradition now for @kfwyre to go "wow, look at how well all these Windows games work on Linux!" But like, well, just look at that chart! Seven Windows-only games; six games with great Proton reports.
Say it with me everyone: PROTON IS MAGIC.
You nailed it, talklittle! And thanks again for putting up this topic.
A lot of the credit must go to dxvk.
There are a lot of projects that make proton work, and they all should get highfives.
Plucky Squire is a good addition and I find myself oddly drawn to wrestling games, if only for them to be the most realistic version of fake fighting, except I haven't found one that gives me that same WCW/nWo feeling.
Also, getting into Destiny this late? I'm not sure how it is single player but I guess there'll be at least a small player bump from the bundle.
From what I've seen browsing reddit, currently feelings towards Destiny 2 are pretty unhappy. Something about recent updates just screwing everything up (more than the usual such complaints), and also discontent at removing a lot of content over the years, including some that may have been paid DLC? Also, that removed content is no longer compatible with the modern game, as they explained in a legal case regarding accusations of copyright infringement with some of it.
Also worth noting Destiny 2 is free-to-play, so this is just a bundle of DLC. So uh... Yeah.
There's nothing here that interests me this month. But if you are interested in these games then these are pretty cheap. For example WWE 2K25's previous all-time low is £21 alone.
I bought Humble Bundle for the first time last month. And this month's selection just... Doesn't seem worth it for me personally.
As I noted in another comment, Destiny 2 is free-to-play, so this is just DLC. And I don't care for sports games in general, but I'm also more wary of the annual release ones, and I know I'm far from the only one. Having those two in a single bundle as the big "headliners" seems like a bad idea to me.
The only other ones that stand out to me are The Plucky Squire and Return to Monkey Island, but... Not enough to get it this month.
