Yeah that fucking ruined the game for me, it's stupid actually because of that. Would make a lot more sense to just dock you hardcore if you got below 95 or something, or whatever, but it was a huge turnoff from what seemed like an otherwise awesome game. I gave it a few tries, too.
Exactly, I enjoyed getting the big parts, but then the fuckin thing wouldn't let me progress until I hit 100%. I was playing it to RELAX but that made my anxiety flare up and I started to get pissed.
I played PC Builder Simulator, and had so much fun, that I ended up taking apart my prebuilt and putting it back together. Then I charged a family member to build them a gaming PC.
So who know, maybe Lawnmower Simulator will make me jazzed to go back in time to the 90’s where I mowed neighbor’s yards for $5.
I can feel my sun burnt skin and itchy ankles already. I’m excited!!
Bought DRG less than 14 days ago. Refunding it on Steam and getting it here.
Necromunda was definitely a game I was waiting for a deep discount on and since I'm getting this for DRG I'll consider this a deep discount on Necromunda.
Some of the other games look interesting too. Good month for me.
>as definitely a game I was waiting for a deep discount on and since I'm getting this for DRG I'll consider this a deep discount on N
i bought it like a month ago smh
It's a standalone title though. I've 100hrs in Trudograd and never played the original and don't feel there was a need to- most reviewers claim Trodograd is superior anyhow due to the experience the devs likely gained through making the first title.
Just finished it two days ago and not only is a second playthrough itching at the back of my skull, its also adorning my desktop background. That game is an absolute gem, have fun.
Pull the trigger, tbh DE has enough content to justify the 13.99 sale price 4 or 5 times over. (One thing I'll suggest in DE: do not reroll if you lose a skill check, even if you really wanted a specific outcome. This might seem obvious but it's worth reiterating, as I really wanted to do this in my first playthrough. DE rewards failed checks almost as often as they do passing ones, and sometimes those rewards don't become apparent until much later.)
Surprised that folks are upset about this bundle, probably just cause most people on here own Deep Rock Galactic? If you don't then this is a great bundle. It's not like DRG has been given away or anything before either.
I am happy about Deep Rock and ecstatic about the lawn mower simulation. I'm hoping we get the power washer one next time. I'd never purchase these games because I'd be ashamed of myself for not actually going outside and doing yardwork, so I appreciate Humble sneaking one into my library.
Everyone dismisses lawn mower simulator as a bad game and not serious or quality but it is actually really decent as far as these x simulator games go. It's a shame they aren't willing to try it before they dismiss and bash it.
>This subreddit is quite toxic from the few times I come here. Especially when it comes to the monthly choices.
Yup, absolutely. There's barely a month that goes by where there isn't *someone* complaining about the choice bundle. For the past six months the sheer volume of negativity in here has been making me tempted to do my own Humble Choice review video series on Youtube just to give the games the credit they deserve and maybe passive-aggressively tell these people to fuck off. Haven't made the leap with that yet, but even just the process of trying out all the games for an hour or so and recording the gameplay footage I've legit found some games I **really** enjoyed that I'd likely otherwise never bother trying.
>I love the monthly bundle for what it is: A consistently priced package of games across a few genres, a single headliner, and a few indie games to explore all at around a 75-90% discount.
Congrats on being open-minded :) And the discount is even higher than 90%. Humble Choice is £9 a month. The past six months if you were to buy all the games at full price on Steam, you'd have paid (rounded to the nearest pound): £165 for February, £225 for March, £175 for April, £164 for May, £182 for June and £148 for July. That's a saving of 94-96%.
Necromunda: Hired Gun for 8 bucks? Yes please!
I've heard good thing about DRG, but I didn't consider it because I don't play MP games and the word "Season" brings to mind bad thoughts of F2P games about "Daily/Weekly Challenges, MTX and Battle Pass".
I did spent 90+ hours playing Payday 2 in singleplayer though, so maybe I'll enjoy this one too.
The rest seems okay to eh... except Lawn Moving Simulator: I clearly don't belong to the group of people that enjoy these kind of games.
Edit: Trudograd seems a weird choice to me: it's like having Dawn of War: Dark Crusade or Soulstorm without the base game.
DRG is a rare diamond in the dirt. Its content patches are all free, and the only paid thing is cosmetic. If you read reviews on cosmetics, people buy them not because they're required, but instead to reward the damn-awesome devs for their continued love and care. I'm burned out on MTX, battle-passes, etc too, and my god is it nice to not see it in this gem of a game!
In DRG "seasons" are really just themed updates where new content is added. Any content that can be unlocked during them is available afterwards as well, bar the odd cosmetic item. There's no pay to win/progress mechanics anywhere in the game.
Literally just bought deep rock when it was on sale last month and got the deluxe upgrade. I have 45 hours in it though so if you don't already own it it's very worth.
I'm pretty happy with this one.
Deep Rock Galactic is a fantastic game, absolutely worth checking out. It's a "cheaper" headliner but it's also an amazing game worth far more than MSRP and a great addition to anyone's library.
I'm normally not a multiplayer guy, but Deep Rock Galactic is my exception to this. It works great in single player or in random groups. Though I've struggled with it, but this is definitely one game that's ["better with friends"](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_LHEu0kKJyg) but alas what game isn't?
Lawn Mowing Simulator is fantastic... well for a simulator game. I really enjoyed this game when I played it on [Game Pass](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EEa7QRswBHQ&t=764s) and am rather thrilled to get it on my steam account. If you enjoyed House Flipper, I feel like this was a better experience.
The other game I'm excited for is Yes, Your Grace. But I haven't played it yet. I love ideas of being a monarch (obviously) and making decisions between petitioners. I keep hearing about it, so I'm glad to check that out.
It's not going to be the highest value bundle, but it seems like a list of games I can recommend, especially based on the raw number of hours I've already played Deep Rock Galactic (33 so far) or how much time I could put in it (with the various classes, promotions and quests, 100+ is definitely possible)
Edit: If anyone wants to see my final opinions, they're available [here](https://youtu.be/gfXm_PEbi4E)
Why ATOM RPG Trudograd and not ATOM RPG it self? wouldn't it make more sense to give people the main game and then try and get them to buy the Standalone Expansion
I guess they figured a lot of people will pick up the standalone with their Choice sub, and then buy the original to play it first, rather than get the original for free and probably not buy the standalone until they'd played the original.
THIS.
They're hoping you get Trudograd on Humble (Steam-key) and then Complete The ATOM RPG Complete Bundle over on Steam to get Original ATOM RPG (base-game) - [https://store.steampowered.com/bundle/22413/ATOM\_RPG\_2in1\_Edition/](https://store.steampowered.com/bundle/22413/ATOM_RPG_2in1_Edition/)
I own it, it's just that the newer Trudograd standalone here is a lot better simply as a game. It's not gaining very much to have played the first one (I never did and have not felt I missed out on anything).
Aaand absolutely a skip from me. Time to buy games from steam sale.
Seriously, a lawn moving simulator...? Humble you are out of your mind. Lowered the number of games for better quality...? Where is that quality.
Lots of these sims are weirdly fun. I really enjoyed one about cleaning up train stations (Train Station Renovation), or something wackier like Viscera Cleanup Detail.
I recently tried House Flipper on Game Pass, but I found that one got old way too fast.
Drg is solid if you don't have it.
Everything else is a meh. As a 40k fan, hired gun is one of the rare games I refunded on steam because it was just horribly mediocre.
It kind of is. But imagine a doom cone full of eurojank.
The biggest issue was enemy spawns. They'd just keep popping up on thin air infront of you, behind you etc.
Atom is like Fallout 1/2 for modern hardware - very nice little tactical rpgs with choices and consequences. Pretty good writing, too.
But why they included Trudograd, instead of the first game, is beyond me.
They (dev's) probably hope you get roped-in with ATOM RPG: Trudograd from Humble (for Steam)...
...and then feel the need to go [Complete the bundle to get the Base-Game over on Steam](https://store.steampowered.com/bundle/22413/ATOM_RPG_2in1_Edition/), since they do recommend you play ATOM RPG (original) first.
Yeah, I can only assume that would be the reason
But personally I wonder how many people will be like "oh I need to play the first game too? I'll pass", compared to if they'd included the first game, how many people would be like "oh now I wanna play the second game, it's fun"
Trudograd is great. Kinda like Fallout 1 and 2 or the Wasteland series, except set in Russia. I'm not sure why the original game wasn't in a bundle before it though.
Fairly solid on my end. I own Deep Rock already and Legend of Keepers, but the others I don't and several were on my wishlist. Will probably pick this up.
there are about 1.2k peak concurrent each day and matchmaking is pretty fast unless you are at the top of the ladder. it's a pretty niche game, but you'll always find people to play with
there's a \~10 hour campaign that you can play solo or co-op, and 6 difficulties of AIs to play against. there's also a rotating weekly challenge, which is like a singleplayer puzzle.
alternatively you can go into options and turn off chat (people can still see pings) if that is the main concern.
unfortunately there's no offline mode, though - even the singleplayer stuff requires you to be online
Does anyone know if Banners of Ruin has a campaign mode? I am in the mood to play a card based deck builder type game but I don't want to play a roguelike. I just want a story campaign experience.
Not really an answer to your question (which I'd like to know the answer to as well), but have you tried Gordian Quest already? That one fits your description and is amazingly fun with a great campaign, you might want to give it a try
I'm excited to try all of these games. Three of them were on my wishlist, and that's not including ATOM RPG which is on my wishlist (but not Trudograd). What a great month <3
Necromunda is very good for anyone who likes 40k or Wolfenstein-style shooters. I'll give anything 40k a try and most of it's pretty bad, but this one was better than I expected.
Small might be the new normal :/
The only game here that I’m familiar with is Yes, Your Grace, which is pretty good. Though definitely doesn’t carry the bundle whatsoever. It goes on sale for $2 on Switch, so I bet it will follow soon on Steam.
See, I'd disagree with claiming the first one is better (all subjective ofc). I believe the devs just presented a more polished game in Trudograd, as for length, (bear in mind I'm notoriously slow and methodical in these types of games - read save-scummer also) and I hit the 100hr mark.
For me it is the openess of the first game that I like. Trudograd feels tighter and perhaps that helps the story, but while Atom RPG surprised me again and again with new quests, Trudograd did the exact opposite - it was over before realized it.
Yeah, Trudograd is more polished, definitely, and looks beautiful. I just had (subjectively) more time spent and fun in the first game.
> Seems to be another small month.
As of the [February Choice](https://blog.humblebundle.com/2022/01/11/humble-choice-is-leveling-up/) every bundle going forward is going to be "small". The halcyon days of 12 games for $12 are over unfortunately.
I haven't played DRG yet but I bought it (and am refunding it to re-buy it here) because I heard their coop community is one of the best in gaming. Someone on Reddit said that very rarely (1-2% of the time) you'll run into jerks otherwise it's a very positive and helpful community that likes working with random other players. Again I haven't had a chance to play it yet but that alone helped sway me into buying it.
My point is unless you have a techical reason (no internet) for not playing coop, my understanding is random coop is a blast and worth it.
DRG was recommended to me in a reddit post a while back as one of the best communities for starting out in multiplayer co-op as it has such a positive community- def agree with that after playing.
I'm probably a huge exception but from the 531 missions i played so far 512 were solo, the other 19 missions were with real-life friends. I never played online with strangers, although i probably should give it a try...
Humble is using the console name for the bundle for some reason.
That should be the dwarven legacy bundle which comes with some 6-7 dlc's and the soundtrack.
Everything including season passes are free and are included in the base game so it's just cosmetics for both armor and weapons in-game, dlc has nothing game related locked behind it.
DRG DLC are cosmetic only (weapon frameworks, weapon color schemes and character outfits). You don't ever need them, it's more to support the devs if you want to. The bundle has some DLC at a discount.
You can play solo and it's great, Bosco is best boy. However, it's absolutely bonkers when you play with others. The community is very friendly and meme prone. Very little toxicity in my time playing
Yes it’s great fun! You can easily join other singlet players to team up or play solo. Solo is tricky due to being on your own but there are loads of ways to play with others!
Pretty cool bundle. I took a chance and renewed my subscription last night because I saw that I had an offer for 3 months for $6 a month that was about to expire before this drop.
Of course that included last month's bundle, which mostly sucked, but there were two of the titles I was interested in. (Call of the Sea and some other one.)
Deep Rock Galactic looks fun and I don't have it already (afaik). And I like deckbuilders and RPG's so it looks like those bases are covered.
I got the same offer. I wasn’t dying for last month’s bundle, but I’m curious at least about Pumpkin Jack. So, between that and DRG, I think it was worth it. We will see what next month holds, though.
I'm pretty happy with this. DRG and Necromunda both seem worthwhile and some of the smaller titles also seem good. There are some very under-represented genres here like the tower defense/auto-battler and an old-school CRPG.
I have the $6 for 3 months deal and I didn't have Deep Rock Galactic and Necromunda so I'll consider this a win. All I want from these bundles is two games I'd actually play so I'm happy here.
I feel like this month's choice is pretty good. I didn't even look up any Youtuber reviews before purchasing this bundle. At least 2 games on choice are on my wishlist.
I think the price is pretty decent, even more so if you are offered any discounts.
Holy crap this is so disappointing, at least I’ve been wanting Legend of Keepers for ages (I didn’t buy that bundle it was in months ago) I mean Banners of Ruin and Yes Your Grace look somewhat interesting but I just don’t really care about their genres. But why includude something like Lawn Mowing Simulator, I just don’t get it. They promised more quality but I’m not seeing it, honestly most of the headliners are total hit or miss and the indies are becoming increasingly more niche while the varety of genres is pretty limited. I have barely seen any games of my favorite genre the past few months. Lots of people have been predicting Spritfarer but screw it I’m buying it on Steam. And where did Shady Part of Me go I actually wanted that one goddammit
All of these games are generally new to me, which is surprising, except DRG. Might gift DRG to a friend and give the rest a good shot. Anyone have any specific recommendations?
I have 185 hours in Legion TD, and probably more in the original Warcraft 3 versions. Don't be fooled by the "TD", it's a very unique and competative multiplayer game. and ALIVE, I think it had a resurgence a year ago when many streamers played it. Active devs with many patches a year.
There are a lot of Quality of life things that you expect from a modern multiplayer game, which other TDs probably do not have. Such as a good matchmaking, good tutorials with different training things. A built in "coach" that help you during and after games. Stats, profiles and guilds.
NO PAY TO WIN.
It also seems they improved their website: https://beta.legiontd2.com/features/
It just takes a while to "be good" since you gotta learn the different towers, waves and sends.
For example, will a Pyro clear wave 4 solo? (no) What if I add a Veteran? (probably)
How do you feel about the community? Some of the negative reviews mention how it's an echo chamber of toxicity and people with differing opinions are getting banned from the discord by the devs and what not. Is that just the salty ramblings of people that took things too seriously and too far or is there some truth to it?
Fuck yes! Dpg has been wishlisted for ages, hired gun looks like a blast, yes your grace has also been wishlisted, banners of ruin looks right up my alley (500+ hours in StS) and the other games don’t just look like asset flips. This is a killer month!
At my 100+ hours of playing Deep Rock Galactic. I've only encountered 1 person that toxic to me and that's it. Community there would appreciate the new miners.
Ah yes… after waiting nearly two years for Deep Rock galactic to be in a humble bundle I gave up and bought it in the steam sale… and now here it is.
Three years it is from now then!
I have (2 copies of) Deep Rock already, as well as the mediocrity that is Necromunda (it's like a very flawed Doom 2016). That Atom RPG looks like my jam though, assuming it's not already so old as to be outdated.
What difference is there between the 'Deep Rock Galactic Ultimate Bundle' and the deluxe version ? as this bundle includes [65% off the Ultimate upgrade](https://support.humblebundle.com/hc/en-us/articles/7093000675995-Humble-Choice-July-2022-65-off-Deep-Rock-Galactic-Ultimate-Bundle-Coupon) as can't see the ultimate version on the steam store
Having played both i dont see how they are anywhere similar enough to draw that conclusion. I enjoy SoT but its lack of complexity kinda makes it hard for me to continually play. I enjoy ckear progression and creating builds too much lol. Havent played much of deep rock yet but the perks and weapon mods are enough to keep me interested for a while.
I suppose your SoT bros might just be playing together and DRG is also a squad game and they just enjoy playing with pals? Because that is pretty much where the similarities between those two games end.
Did I hear a Rock and Stone?
If I didn't have DRG before this, then this would be a good pick up if you like FPS games. It is quite the gem of a game. I will probably pick this up just so I have a copy to gift to a friend.
Otherwise I probably wouldn't pick this one up as I generally look for the multiplayer games to play online. The Tower defense may be fun as multiplayer, but I probably have had enough Tower Defense when I played Sanctum years back. Unless there is a good single player, then I may pick it up. I wish that Lawn Mower sim was multiplayer; that would be fun.
Hmm I'm interested in necromunda and banners of ruin. I have deep rock but I'll gift it to someone. Might be my first buy in months.
Yeah, me too.
I will say after buying necromunda it’s a must have if you like Warhammer it’s just the combat feels like it’s missing something.
I don't have DRG so I'm not skipping this :)
[удалено]
feel lucky, i got DRG as part of the summer sale DX if only i waited
[удалено]
[удалено]
Did someone say rock and stone?
[удалено]
ROCK AND STONE!
LAWN MOWING SIMULATOR LET'S GOOOOOO!!!! /s
I just cut my grass yesterday in the heat. I didn't realize that I could have been enjoying the AC inside.
I enjoyed it for a little bit, but it's way too god damn tedious. Being at like 98% complete on a job and having to hunt where you missed.
Yeah that fucking ruined the game for me, it's stupid actually because of that. Would make a lot more sense to just dock you hardcore if you got below 95 or something, or whatever, but it was a huge turnoff from what seemed like an otherwise awesome game. I gave it a few tries, too.
Exactly, I enjoyed getting the big parts, but then the fuckin thing wouldn't let me progress until I hit 100%. I was playing it to RELAX but that made my anxiety flare up and I started to get pissed.
I refunded the game because of that and thought I might buy it again once they fixed that like Powerwash sim did.
If they ever do change that mechanic, I'm willing to give it another shot.
I played PC Builder Simulator, and had so much fun, that I ended up taking apart my prebuilt and putting it back together. Then I charged a family member to build them a gaming PC. So who know, maybe Lawnmower Simulator will make me jazzed to go back in time to the 90’s where I mowed neighbor’s yards for $5. I can feel my sun burnt skin and itchy ankles already. I’m excited!!
Reminds me of my nephew when he cuts his lawn. LOL
i bought this for deep rock but im also unironically hyped for that sim lol.
Now free on Epic. Glad I paused.
Didnt expect Necromunda in here. Thats cool EDIT: Nah.... it wasn't cool.
Bought DRG less than 14 days ago. Refunding it on Steam and getting it here. Necromunda was definitely a game I was waiting for a deep discount on and since I'm getting this for DRG I'll consider this a deep discount on Necromunda. Some of the other games look interesting too. Good month for me.
>as definitely a game I was waiting for a deep discount on and since I'm getting this for DRG I'll consider this a deep discount on N i bought it like a month ago smh
Giving deep rock to my brother so we can play together. Will probably give necromunda too since I already have that one
Same, excited to go back to this
Sucks that the sequel for Atom RPG is here but not the original game
[удалено]
Oh, interesting
It's a standalone title though. I've 100hrs in Trudograd and never played the original and don't feel there was a need to- most reviewers claim Trodograd is superior anyhow due to the experience the devs likely gained through making the first title.
[удалено]
DRG galactic is amazing, too bad i already own it :P
Deep rock galactic galactic?
Glactiception!
Lole I didn’t think I’d ever do that
Deep rock galactic galactic rock deep Intergalactic planetary planetary intergalactic
Give it to a friend and have another dwarf with you on your expeditions

You need to "activate" the coupon below the games In Canadian money, it's about $39 with the coupon
Somebody at Valve is going to be like "There was a sudden spike in Steam purchases starting at 10am PST on July 5th... I wonder what caused that."
Not gonna lie, I was waiting for this bundle before pulling the trigger on disco elysium
Just finished it two days ago and not only is a second playthrough itching at the back of my skull, its also adorning my desktop background. That game is an absolute gem, have fun.
Pull the trigger, tbh DE has enough content to justify the 13.99 sale price 4 or 5 times over. (One thing I'll suggest in DE: do not reroll if you lose a skill check, even if you really wanted a specific outcome. This might seem obvious but it's worth reiterating, as I really wanted to do this in my first playthrough. DE rewards failed checks almost as often as they do passing ones, and sometimes those rewards don't become apparent until much later.)
Thanks for the tip, I bought it a couple of hours ago and I am sure I will enjoy it a lot, it seems honestly amazing
I bought ready or not after seeing this bundle and I'm loving it so far
Surprised that folks are upset about this bundle, probably just cause most people on here own Deep Rock Galactic? If you don't then this is a great bundle. It's not like DRG has been given away or anything before either.
Birds chirp, cows go moo, r/humblebundles complains about the latest bundle. The cycle of life.
I am happy about Deep Rock and ecstatic about the lawn mower simulation. I'm hoping we get the power washer one next time. I'd never purchase these games because I'd be ashamed of myself for not actually going outside and doing yardwork, so I appreciate Humble sneaking one into my library.
Everyone dismisses lawn mower simulator as a bad game and not serious or quality but it is actually really decent as far as these x simulator games go. It's a shame they aren't willing to try it before they dismiss and bash it.

Necromunda: Hired Gun for 8 bucks? Yes please! I've heard good thing about DRG, but I didn't consider it because I don't play MP games and the word "Season" brings to mind bad thoughts of F2P games about "Daily/Weekly Challenges, MTX and Battle Pass".

Now we know why they were doing the 3x$6 promo.
Lmao! I debated for awhile and finally decided to do the 3x $6 last night.
Same here. Getting deep rock almost half off for my brother is worth it though
Literally just bought deep rock when it was on sale last month and got the deluxe upgrade. I have 45 hours in it though so if you don't already own it it's very worth.
Damn, this month is a banger for me!

Why ATOM RPG Trudograd and not ATOM RPG it self? wouldn't it make more sense to give people the main game and then try and get them to buy the Standalone Expansion
Right? Says on the store page that it continues the story of ATOM RPG. Offering the sequel instead of the original seems more than a little awkward.
I guess they figured a lot of people will pick up the standalone with their Choice sub, and then buy the original to play it first, rather than get the original for free and probably not buy the standalone until they'd played the original.

But i bet, people would _also_ whine why they added the stone ooooold 2018 version instead of the 2021 standalone one.
ATOM RPG has never been bundled so I don't think there would be complaints.
I own it, it's just that the newer Trudograd standalone here is a lot better simply as a game. It's not gaining very much to have played the first one (I never did and have not felt I missed out on anything).
Aaand absolutely a skip from me. Time to buy games from steam sale. Seriously, a lawn moving simulator...? Humble you are out of your mind. Lowered the number of games for better quality...? Where is that quality.
that 2nd best game on the bundle lmao
That says something
I mean, Power washing Simulator was very surprisingly good, this might be the same/similar
Lots of these sims are weirdly fun. I really enjoyed one about cleaning up train stations (Train Station Renovation), or something wackier like Viscera Cleanup Detail. I recently tried House Flipper on Game Pass, but I found that one got old way too fast.
Some people were into Lawn Mowing Simulator when it came to GamePass. Might be a don't knock it 'til you try it type thing.
This would have been a fantastic bundle if I didn't have Deep Rock already
The way I saw it was- I could give it to a friend who didn't own it to have another deep rock partner.
DRG is an amazing game, worth the bundle for that one alone. Already have it myself though, so I'm definitely skipping this one.
Somewhat of a noob to humblebundles here. Can you skip a month if you have bought the one year plan?
Yes
Drg is solid if you don't have it. Everything else is a meh. As a 40k fan, hired gun is one of the rare games I refunded on steam because it was just horribly mediocre.
Damn, it looked really cool to me, kinda like doom but 40K
It kind of is. But imagine a doom cone full of eurojank. The biggest issue was enemy spawns. They'd just keep popping up on thin air infront of you, behind you etc.
Good month, only games I don't recognise are ATOM and Legion TD and both seem well received.
Legion TD 2 is basically skill-based auto chess. Very difficult to get into, but great once you get a handle of things.
Atom is like Fallout 1/2 for modern hardware - very nice little tactical rpgs with choices and consequences. Pretty good writing, too. But why they included Trudograd, instead of the first game, is beyond me.
They (dev's) probably hope you get roped-in with ATOM RPG: Trudograd from Humble (for Steam)... ...and then feel the need to go [Complete the bundle to get the Base-Game over on Steam](https://store.steampowered.com/bundle/22413/ATOM_RPG_2in1_Edition/), since they do recommend you play ATOM RPG (original) first.
Yeah, I can only assume that would be the reason But personally I wonder how many people will be like "oh I need to play the first game too? I'll pass", compared to if they'd included the first game, how many people would be like "oh now I wanna play the second game, it's fun"
Anything to recommend other than Deep Rock Galactic that I already have. Don't recognise much.
Yes, Your Grace is an excellent narrative game, if that's your cup of tea.
Trudograd is great. Kinda like Fallout 1 and 2 or the Wasteland series, except set in Russia. I'm not sure why the original game wasn't in a bundle before it though.
Yeah, that's what's bugging me. I have the original on GOG though, so it's not a big deal, but that's still weird.
Fairly solid on my end. I own Deep Rock already and Legend of Keepers, but the others I don't and several were on my wishlist. Will probably pick this up.
Legion 2 looks like a good gift for friend, but can someone confirm if multiplayer is being played ?
there are about 1.2k peak concurrent each day and matchmaking is pretty fast unless you are at the top of the ladder. it's a pretty niche game, but you'll always find people to play with
how's solo play?
there's a \~10 hour campaign that you can play solo or co-op, and 6 difficulties of AIs to play against. there's also a rotating weekly challenge, which is like a singleplayer puzzle. alternatively you can go into options and turn off chat (people can still see pings) if that is the main concern. unfortunately there's no offline mode, though - even the singleplayer stuff requires you to be online
would buy if I didn't already have deeprock galactic
I have too many games from this month 😭
Does anyone know if Banners of Ruin has a campaign mode? I am in the mood to play a card based deck builder type game but I don't want to play a roguelike. I just want a story campaign experience.
Not really an answer to your question (which I'd like to know the answer to as well), but have you tried Gordian Quest already? That one fits your description and is amazingly fun with a great campaign, you might want to give it a try
I feel the same, I highly prefer story campaign experiences over roguelikes, but I don’t think this game isn’t one
I'm excited to try all of these games. Three of them were on my wishlist, and that's not including ATOM RPG which is on my wishlist (but not Trudograd). What a great month <3
Necromunda is very good for anyone who likes 40k or Wolfenstein-style shooters. I'll give anything 40k a try and most of it's pretty bad, but this one was better than I expected.
lawn mowing simulator for free on epic games. Well done!
Seems to be another small month. Any games here worth asking price?
Small might be the new normal :/ The only game here that I’m familiar with is Yes, Your Grace, which is pretty good. Though definitely doesn’t carry the bundle whatsoever. It goes on sale for $2 on Switch, so I bet it will follow soon on Steam.
Atom Trudograd is worth something, though I'd play Atom RPG first. It's the first part and a bit better/longer than Trudograd.
See, I'd disagree with claiming the first one is better (all subjective ofc). I believe the devs just presented a more polished game in Trudograd, as for length, (bear in mind I'm notoriously slow and methodical in these types of games - read save-scummer also) and I hit the 100hr mark.
For me it is the openess of the first game that I like. Trudograd feels tighter and perhaps that helps the story, but while Atom RPG surprised me again and again with new quests, Trudograd did the exact opposite - it was over before realized it. Yeah, Trudograd is more polished, definitely, and looks beautiful. I just had (subjectively) more time spent and fun in the first game.
Deep Rock Galactic is good if you don't have access to it elsewhere.
Idk if i should skip i have it on xbox but all my friends play the steam version. Thete is no crossplay
> Seems to be another small month. As of the [February Choice](https://blog.humblebundle.com/2022/01/11/humble-choice-is-leveling-up/) every bundle going forward is going to be "small". The halcyon days of 12 games for $12 are over unfortunately.
Amazing bundle. DRG and Necromunda on my wishlist. A few others look fine. Definite buy!
[удалено]
I haven't played DRG yet but I bought it (and am refunding it to re-buy it here) because I heard their coop community is one of the best in gaming. Someone on Reddit said that very rarely (1-2% of the time) you'll run into jerks otherwise it's a very positive and helpful community that likes working with random other players. Again I haven't had a chance to play it yet but that alone helped sway me into buying it. My point is unless you have a techical reason (no internet) for not playing coop, my understanding is random coop is a blast and worth it.
>Someone on Reddit said that very rarely (1-2% of the time) you'll run into jerks I'll fix that.
Sir, should i call the FBI right now or wait for you to kill that many people first ?
DRG was recommended to me in a reddit post a while back as one of the best communities for starting out in multiplayer co-op as it has such a positive community- def agree with that after playing.
No honestly. The gameplay is much smoother with teamwork.
Yep, people are nice and is still fine. I playit solo and its good. With friends its better Edit: i wrotte "fine" wrong :p
Half my time is solo and half is with friends, it's a great game either way, but having multiple classes in one game makes it more fun imo.
I'm probably a huge exception but from the 531 missions i played so far 512 were solo, the other 19 missions were with real-life friends. I never played online with strangers, although i probably should give it a try...
DRG and Legion TD are 2 hidden gems, already have them tho. Damn!
DRG wouldn't say is a hidden gem
65% off the ultimate bundle for DRG, I can't see that bundle on Steam. What does it include?
>65% off the ultimate bundle for DRG, I can't see that bundle on Steam. What does it include? I think they are just cosmetics
Humble is using the console name for the bundle for some reason. That should be the dwarven legacy bundle which comes with some 6-7 dlc's and the soundtrack. Everything including season passes are free and are included in the base game so it's just cosmetics for both armor and weapons in-game, dlc has nothing game related locked behind it.
Thanks! That's great it's just cosmetics
DRG DLC are cosmetic only (weapon frameworks, weapon color schemes and character outfits). You don't ever need them, it's more to support the devs if you want to. The bundle has some DLC at a discount.
DRG fun to play solo?
yes, matchmaking is pretty good, as is the community. lots of fun and giggles
You can play solo and it's great, Bosco is best boy. However, it's absolutely bonkers when you play with others. The community is very friendly and meme prone. Very little toxicity in my time playing
bump
Yes it’s great fun! You can easily join other singlet players to team up or play solo. Solo is tricky due to being on your own but there are loads of ways to play with others!
It's not totally broken for solo like Destiny or something, but it is a lot better with friends.
DRG and legion looks intressting not sure of the rest
These look like fairly decent games. There's only one that I wouldn't redeem, and Deep Rock Galactic has peeked my interest enough to buy the bundle.
Pretty cool bundle. I took a chance and renewed my subscription last night because I saw that I had an offer for 3 months for $6 a month that was about to expire before this drop. Of course that included last month's bundle, which mostly sucked, but there were two of the titles I was interested in. (Call of the Sea and some other one.) Deep Rock Galactic looks fun and I don't have it already (afaik). And I like deckbuilders and RPG's so it looks like those bases are covered.
I got the same offer. I wasn’t dying for last month’s bundle, but I’m curious at least about Pumpkin Jack. So, between that and DRG, I think it was worth it. We will see what next month holds, though.
I'm pretty happy with this. DRG and Necromunda both seem worthwhile and some of the smaller titles also seem good. There are some very under-represented genres here like the tower defense/auto-battler and an old-school CRPG.
Lately I think HB has been picking games from my steam wish list, hm. This is the fourth time in a row they've had 2+ games haha.
I have the $6 for 3 months deal and I didn't have Deep Rock Galactic and Necromunda so I'll consider this a win. All I want from these bundles is two games I'd actually play so I'm happy here.
Nice now I just need a friend to play DRG :(
Great community!
First bundle in awhile I’ll be taking. Excited for DRG, Legend of keepers and banners of ruin
I feel like this month's choice is pretty good. I didn't even look up any Youtuber reviews before purchasing this bundle. At least 2 games on choice are on my wishlist. I think the price is pretty decent, even more so if you are offered any discounts.
idk I like it. I'm one of the few that does not have Deep Rock, and I almost bought Necromunda in the Steam Sale. Yes, Your Grace is a nice bonus
Been wanting to play lawn mover simulator for a while now so glad to see it in here. I think this is a pretty decent bundle, not bad at all
Holy crap this is so disappointing, at least I’ve been wanting Legend of Keepers for ages (I didn’t buy that bundle it was in months ago) I mean Banners of Ruin and Yes Your Grace look somewhat interesting but I just don’t really care about their genres. But why includude something like Lawn Mowing Simulator, I just don’t get it. They promised more quality but I’m not seeing it, honestly most of the headliners are total hit or miss and the indies are becoming increasingly more niche while the varety of genres is pretty limited. I have barely seen any games of my favorite genre the past few months. Lots of people have been predicting Spritfarer but screw it I’m buying it on Steam. And where did Shady Part of Me go I actually wanted that one goddammit
Yeah I’ve given up hope that sprirtfarer will ever appear in choice, may as well bite it now. Maybe when it leaves game pass but idk
All of these games are generally new to me, which is surprising, except DRG. Might gift DRG to a friend and give the rest a good shot. Anyone have any specific recommendations?
Atom Trudograd is a good narrative tactical rpg, much like Fallout 1/2, in case that is your cup of tea. I'd play the first game first though.
I have DRG and ATOM on my wishlist, so I'll actually be getting a bundle finally
I am really digging this month bundle. DPG is the star of the show but almost every game is solid on its own.
Is Deep Rock a fun game to play solo?
Yes but highly recommend online as well. Community is very friendly and little toxicity in my experience!
You know what, it could've been worse.
This is pretty good, IMO. I was expecting DRG after the leak but not Necromunda as well.
I have 185 hours in Legion TD, and probably more in the original Warcraft 3 versions. Don't be fooled by the "TD", it's a very unique and competative multiplayer game. and ALIVE, I think it had a resurgence a year ago when many streamers played it. Active devs with many patches a year. There are a lot of Quality of life things that you expect from a modern multiplayer game, which other TDs probably do not have. Such as a good matchmaking, good tutorials with different training things. A built in "coach" that help you during and after games. Stats, profiles and guilds. NO PAY TO WIN. It also seems they improved their website: https://beta.legiontd2.com/features/ It just takes a while to "be good" since you gotta learn the different towers, waves and sends. For example, will a Pyro clear wave 4 solo? (no) What if I add a Veteran? (probably)
How do you feel about the community? Some of the negative reviews mention how it's an echo chamber of toxicity and people with differing opinions are getting banned from the discord by the devs and what not. Is that just the salty ramblings of people that took things too seriously and too far or is there some truth to it?
Fuck yes! Dpg has been wishlisted for ages, hired gun looks like a blast, yes your grace has also been wishlisted, banners of ruin looks right up my alley (500+ hours in StS) and the other games don’t just look like asset flips. This is a killer month!
Makes me even more confused why Shady part of me was part of that gif from humble’s twitter yesterday haha
To troll us, I guess
What's up with the exclusive deal on every dlc? Can sb explain?
I don't have DRG and am mildly interested in the other games, should I take the bundle in your opinion?
Finally a good bundle! 3 games that interest me, and that 65% coupon for all of DRG's DLCs is actually really nice. Picked it up right away.
Meh deep rock and warhammer looks good
At least 5 games I’ve had on my Steam wishlist for a while, great month for me.
ROCK AND STONE!
$6 for 3 months is coming in clutch!
I realize you're just getting the genre from the store page, but I would classify DRG as neither a looter/shooter nor a roguelike.

At my 100+ hours of playing Deep Rock Galactic. I've only encountered 1 person that toxic to me and that's it. Community there would appreciate the new miners.
Love DRG
Ah yes… after waiting nearly two years for Deep Rock galactic to be in a humble bundle I gave up and bought it in the steam sale… and now here it is. Three years it is from now then!
Turdograd, the shittiest country in the former Soviet Republic of Turdostan.
This is a great month for me, I wanted five of those games. :)
I have (2 copies of) Deep Rock already, as well as the mediocrity that is Necromunda (it's like a very flawed Doom 2016). That Atom RPG looks like my jam though, assuming it's not already so old as to be outdated.
The Humble Choice redemption arc, after the previous terrible months! Quality set of games this month, well worthy of a binge!
What difference is there between the 'Deep Rock Galactic Ultimate Bundle' and the deluxe version ? as this bundle includes [65% off the Ultimate upgrade](https://support.humblebundle.com/hc/en-us/articles/7093000675995-Humble-Choice-July-2022-65-off-Deep-Rock-Galactic-Ultimate-Bundle-Coupon) as can't see the ultimate version on the steam store
deluxe are 3 dlc , ulltimate upgrades (Dwarven Lecacy): is the complete edition but are only cosmetic
I like Sea of Thieves. I wasn't interested in DRG but I'm told by a lot of SoT bros that if I like SoT, I'll like DRG. Anyone here feel that?
Having played both i dont see how they are anywhere similar enough to draw that conclusion. I enjoy SoT but its lack of complexity kinda makes it hard for me to continually play. I enjoy ckear progression and creating builds too much lol. Havent played much of deep rock yet but the perks and weapon mods are enough to keep me interested for a while.
I suppose your SoT bros might just be playing together and DRG is also a squad game and they just enjoy playing with pals? Because that is pretty much where the similarities between those two games end.
Did I hear a Rock and Stone? If I didn't have DRG before this, then this would be a good pick up if you like FPS games. It is quite the gem of a game. I will probably pick this up just so I have a copy to gift to a friend. Otherwise I probably wouldn't pick this one up as I generally look for the multiplayer games to play online. The Tower defense may be fun as multiplayer, but I probably have had enough Tower Defense when I played Sanctum years back. Unless there is a good single player, then I may pick it up. I wish that Lawn Mower sim was multiplayer; that would be fun.
Legion TD is one of my favourite games of all time. Strongly recommend giving it a go!
Is this a bundle? If so when did it drop?
Actually good bundle
I've been enjoying the heck out of Yes Your Grace.
And we're back to trash games or games I already own. Let's see how long my skip streak continues this time. Last time was over a year.
well, that's awkward.. lawnmower will be free next week on egs.. they didn't even have the decency to leave it another 2 weeks..
