Would you give this deal an All-Star rating?

View Results
[I like the spotlight game(s)] Hell yes. Desperados III alone is worth that price! It costs substantially less than its lowest Steam store discount (so far), and I get some extra games too!
[I keep my subscription only for the Humble Store discount] A tad annoying, but what other Choice do I have?
[Only with limited deal] At $6 it’s worth it a million times. At full price, it ain't worth it.
[Happy] I’m absolutely thrilled about this month’s games. I could really use a distraction to stop worrying about the current world crisis.
[Neutral] I’m not sure what to say. Lately the weekly bundles seemed to be much better than Choice, and they cost roughly the same.
[Pause] Looking at this selection makes me very salty. Time to pause, AGAIN… Don’t think I can’t find the Pause button, IGN, even if you hid it really well this time!
[Disappointed] When I saw Mass Effect™ Legendary Edition, my heart pounded with excitement. Until I saw it’s an Origin key, LOL.
[Canceling the subscription] I was expecting a big quality boost after the recent Choice redesign, but after seeing both last month’s and Evan this month’s lineup, little hope Remains. Perhaps it’s best to just cancel my subscription altogether.

People that are suprised it's Origin...

it's because Steam keys for ME: Legendary Edition actually exist out there and are in circulation at key resellers too although at a steeper price of around $30. Amazon USA sold a couple of times as well.

Man of Medan is unavailable for India according to a friend. Instead replaced by a game called Warsim: The Realm of Aslona

Disappointed that ME isn't for Steam, but still it is an excellent bundle. Desperados 3 is on top of my wishlist since I have over 80 hours spent in Shadow Tactics.

Very good one, best in years. I will keep 4 out of 8 (50%!)

I'm fine with Origin, I can redeem it instantly without trying to win the game. And I will not play it anyway, I already played all 3 Mass Effects

Mixed bag for me. Already have The Dark Pictures Anthology: Man Of Medan, Police Stories, and Evan's Remains. Not even going to bother to claim Mass Effect.
While Desperados III, Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl, and Nebuchadnezzar were on my wishlist.

As far as IGN, it's not a bad bundle.
Would have I preferred a Steam key for ME? Sure but 4 wishlisted games in one bundle? I'll take the Origin key and the rebundles.

Wow, people are nuts. "I'd consider it if ME was a Steam key" ... lol.
Multiple AAA titles, some great indies and some fillers offering lots of genre variety. All that for $12 and some people still are upset.
Geez, not IGN is killing bundles - it's entitlement.

To me it's already a great bundle just for Desperados III and Nebuchadnezzar.
And yes, a Steam key would be much nicer. So what, the games remain great.

Origin doesn't have Big picture, so you can't remap controller freely on Origin if a game doesn't allow it. For exemple, both Mirror's Edge and all Need for speed serie don't have native in-game controller remapping, so no Steam -> no controller remapping.

Being disabled it's usually important for me. But honestly i agree with you that this bundle is so good, that even if Mass Effect is unplayable (will be a suprise after installing it...), i'll still be happy to have bought it just for Desperados III.

You still can run non-Steam games through Steam. Epic doesn't seem to work well with controllers, so I've been running Mages of Mystralia through Steam and it worked like a charm.

This just went from instant-buy to might not buy at all just because of the damn origin key instead of steam one. And yes, I know that you still have to use origin for this game even through steam, but I want this in my steam library because that's the platform where I build my games library, not elsewhere. 99% of the keys we get from Humble are steam keys, so why the heck would you mix in keys from other platforms every now and then, that's really not okay. Make special bundles for those.

Also Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl seems to be a dead game with only about 100 players on Steam and usually dead games getting bundled doesn't revive them. Humble should really stop putting dead MP games in their bundles, what are ye gonna do with those ffs.

If they offer me a good discount in the e-mail for this maaaaaybe I'd pick it up since I'm somewhat interested in Police Stories, Red Solstice 2 and maybe even Man of Medan, but yeah, ME:LE being an origin key really is a huge dealbreaker.

I have zero interest on having the game on Origin. On Steam I can at least crack it so it skips Origin and still play it through Steam and all its features. Their new client, the EA Desktop Client is one of the worst clients I have ever used, has no achievements functionality yet and doesn't even have all the Origin games on it. And at one point Origin will be replaced completely by it. No thanks.

For European purchase (Slovakia) I can confirm Desperados III really is https://steamdb.info/sub/162909/ as stated in the chart

Great bundle for me, Desperados was on my wishlist as well as ME and Police Stories. All the other games look okay to me too. So far this year HB Choices have been very good for me personally, all 3 months so far have been way more tailored to my tastes than anything that they did last year

Thanks for the chart as always, Lilly :)
