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?
@talklittle, your extension worked FLAWLESSLY! Thank you for the updates.
Speaking of working flawlessly, have I mentioned Proton lately? No native Linux games this month, but we've got 4 Verifieds and 4 Playables. Us Linux users are once again eating well.
In fact, I think Proton now works SO well that ProtonDB is becoming less relevant. I know that I used to regularly submit reports, but now I hardly bother because, well, mostly everything works! A lot of the games, even more popular ones, only have a few recent reports (if any), so I don't think I'm alone in that.
Now, Choice has always loved a base game with a DLC upsell, but this month they've taken it to another level. There's an entire separate bundle for Hunt DLC intended for Choice members.
You might think that this contains all the DLC, but you'd be wrong! It contains only ten out of the seventy different DLCs for the game. I'm not holding this one against Humble and instead putting the blame on the game itself -- what title could reasonably need that many DLCs in the first place?
Also people really do NOT like Wizard of Legend 2. Interesting to see such a split between the critic score and the userscore.
Overall not too shabby of a bundle, Wizard of Legend 2 is on my list, and I loveeee Hunt: Showdown! Much better with friends though so maybe i'll give my copy away :eyes:
People are saying a Nice Day For Fishing is really good too!
I just realize it's January and I still haven't renew my yearly deal (I thought it'd be on sales around Christmas, but apparently it was on Black Friday)
Oh well I probably have like 4 months left from skippings
Oh I think they had EO1 last month or the month prior?
EO2 is a much better game than 1, not as good as 3, but I’d put it equal or around its remake, and in the upper half of the series.
Disclaimer: I only played the Originals but the HD remasters add QoL and other improvements.
Hasn’t Sonic Frontiers already been in one of these? I already have it in my library and most of them have come from previous HC rounds.
ITAD isn’t showing any previous bundles, but it was also already in my library too?
That one might be on me though because I genuinely do buy too many games and also have a soft spot for deeply flawed 3D Sonic titles.
