The new Humble Choice may just be the worst one yet in my opinion. Definite skip.

Yeah, don’t forget to pause two times again.

It actually had a couple of games from my wishlist so I got it, at $8 of course. We’ll see if I ever end up playing any of it though.

I found myself asking, “what’s the headline game?”
I think Project Wingman is coming to Game Pass anyway.

I don’t know about that. It’s generally kak, but I think there’s been worse Choice Bundles before. House Flipper is pretty chill and Project Wingman looks decent enough (haven’t tried it yet). If I didn’t already have both I’d maybe be tempted. Also, Wingspan is the digital version of the board game that @Shrike raved about a while ago… Didn’t even know it existed in digital form, so have that to the Wishlist, and will POM - Pause Once More.
Has been on GP for PC since July already and went to GP for Console last week.
ETA - Also, only 10 games this month? Isn’t usually 12?

I almost forgot to pause my Humble Choice bundle this month.

A better offering of headliner games in this month’s Humble Choice:
Mafia: Definitive Edition is excellent and Iron Harvest is pretty good too (but also available on Game Pass). Not sure about the rest though. Since I already have Mafia, and Iron Harvest on GP, I’ll be skipping.

For the first time in a long while I will actually not pause. My wife loved the 3 Mafia games and I own 2 and 3 but not the first one.

Some changes to the Humble Choice - looks like they are going back to the old model.

Mmm. I don’t think the model was the root cause of the problem here, but I’ll still keep an eye on what happens.

The new and improved version of Humble Choice is out. And, to be fair, the selections are not shocking. There’s 8 games and 1 DLC in the Choice Bundle. That’s fewer games than bundled over the last few months of Choice. But there’s definitely an uptick in the quality of the games.

All of the games and the DLC pack are Steam keys this month - no Epic of GOG curveballs. The games have a total value of R2 136 at Steam’s normal pricing for South Africa. It is worth noting that all 8 of the games are currently on sale on Steam as part of their Lunar New Year Sale.

I think I’ll actually grab this one. I still think that when my year is up I will cancel completely.

I would grab it for bl3 alone, luckily I have the game.
2 Likes
I think I’m going to do the same. BL3 and two others have been on my Wish and Follow lists, and I only have one of the others in my library already. I still have 6 months of my sub left, after which I’m done with Choice too. So many other games, it’s just not worth it anymore.

Can a steam BL3 co-op/play with an epic BL3?
