So let me get this straight. Originally Choice was 10 games for Classic subscribers, but Classic and Premium got 2/3 games for free when subbed, which makes it so that you don't have to be torn when you actually want all games. All good. Then, for the 1st time, if you have claimed 2 specific games for free before suddenly a bonus you were given (not gained, not worked for, just given, granted, gifted) it is a bad thing. You are given 2/3 extra games for free, and you don't want them. Or maybe they're just bad? But if they're so bad, why did you add them to your library in the 1st place?

Take #2 - Classic PoV ($12 per month) - with 2 added bonus games I can get 12 games for 12 dollars. Literally 12 usually well made games for the same average price as your everyday steam trashware. Must be very bad deal. Monthly was better before Choice. After all, it was only 6-8 games in cat-in-the-bag deal, where you literally gamble your $12 for 1 uncovered game, and some mysterious ones. Ah yes, good ol' times...

So it is my belief that some people will never be satisfied until HB literally presents them their entire catalogue, lets them get any 15 games for maybe $5, and cries out of happiness that those people have gracefully stepped down from their heavenly abodes to look at Humble with a smile.
We are getting a good deal. Really. If it's not tailored to your tastes to the very extreme, it's still a bundle of usually good games at very low price.

However, even I feel disheartened. I do own those 2 previously given for free games. What will I ever do with them? Is there any place where I can make sure my bonus games will find a new home? I see only darkness in HB's wake...

It's funny but every time the bundle is underwhelming, they leak it to soften the ground so that people are not disappointed all at once.

They couldn't at least give us Heretic Kingdom instead of Awakening? Come on.

Coming up next: a bundle of demos.

Tropico as the big game is uhhhhh, the free games are even more uhhhhhhhhhh, but I've wanted Autonauts for a while (just grabbed it from a split), Rachel Foster is another good looking game that I'll try to hunt down too, and Lightmatter looks like something fun to check out. Despite the shit in here there are more games I'd like to play than there usually are in Choice. (But not enough to pay for the bundle)

Easily the worst HB's monthly bundle so far. Only one game I want and that's Fea Tactics so I'll most likely pause and I'll get FT from trade or just buy it from greys if it ends up cheap enough.

Reminder to anyone interested in this: try to pause your sub, you may get a coupon. I got 2 USD discount for my part (I still paused my sub after accepting the coupon, even if I may change my mind later)

Why so many full CV games in the bundle? Aren't the Choice bundles considered bundled regardless of value now?

Too much repities and many already have, but very likely will take is as like some games there.

Finally it shows why they sell these bundles for $8 now. Will quit my $12 subscription (can't pause or I would have to pay the ridiculous amount of $20 next month), I guess they will give me a better offer next month anyway. Wish they'd rather add quality games and charge more for it, the way it is this month I get more out of Fanatical bundles.

EDIT: If you are a huge Tropico fan this bundle is probably worth it, but I still haven't play 3+4 despite having them in my library.

this is getting worse and worse every month what happened to humble bundle anyway used to be good time ago

Nice middle finger to the people who bought the Tier 3 of the Humble Daedalic Bundle 2020 back in August... (งツ)ว

This bundle seems to be getting a lot of bipolar opinions. They should rename it the "Marmite" bundle!

Insulted by Daedalic, hahahah yeah...

Funny that most seems to hate it, and this is the bundle I finally unpause for :) I wanted to try Rachel foster for a while and Tropico is always nice to have in library to when I finally get in the mood to try it out. These where the only two games I bought it for and thought it was worth the price since I paused first and got 4$ off.

Then I checked out a walkthrough of Lightmatter which seemed like a fun puzzle game that reminds a little of Portal so I installed that one too. :)

IMHO, this is easily in the top 3 of worst Monthly/Choice bundles ever, if not at 1st place.
I think they don't have ba**s to say people "guys, making these monthly bundles is not profitable anymore, and we have to end this", so they are just slowly forcing people to stay away.

I voted potato, but I did buy the bundle and only 3 are repeats in my library, but all are specifically noted as vote options for the reasons noted!
uncertain, shadows, and sunless sea. but sunless skies and iron danger were on my wishlist, and I admit to skipping the bundle with rachel foster in it. Agree with the vote on Tropico 6 too. Those are paradox levels of DLC each new version....

Joined the monthly from the beginning, never paused, never cancelled and always defended the bundle value. This is the first time I pause. Repeats, free games or games I'm not interested ones.

By far the worst month in a while if not ever imo. I dont remotely care about any of them

This is my first insta-pass with Humble Choice/Montly.

Jesus christ. First bundle I ever paused. I almost felt bad pausing it. But the only games I wanted in it were sunless skies and fae tactics. Like last months bundle was harsh, but this is the first one I felt really let down by. I'm kind of surprised to have paused.

Kinda want 3 games at some point, but nothing that wants me to jump on the bundle immediately. 2€ discount offered - sorry, no. This is so off, it's surprising, considering how many genres and games I like. But saving half a Rimworld's worth of money is not a negligible thing, tbh. ( I own both Sunless games. Without that, this likely would have been an instant buy. Or I would have reconsidered, if it would include zubmariner)
