I've claimed some of the games from this drop, but please leave a comment with an offer in HBD/HIVE if you are interested in picking up a Steam key for any of the games that I don't claim myself!
Okay... this is really it! I'm on tour for a good chunk of the coming month and a bit, and so I have no excuse to catch up with the writing of these Humble Bundle drops... I know that I say this every time I write these posts, but this is the one. I've got a second screen that makes all of this a lot easier... and I'm going to try and burn up to at least 2026 if not the current one!
So, here goes!
Leading this particular Humble Bundle drop is The Thaumaturge. A historical Eastern European setting, and a proper CRPG (not an action RPG)... this game has been on my wishlist for ages! And I've finally got it due to the Humble Bundle drop! I've avoided buying it in all the sales... and so, this is going right into my library... to wait for the day that I have time to finish all the other games and get around to playing it! Still, it was an instant claim for me!
Next up, Amnesia: The Bunker... sigh... if you have followed any of these Humble Bundle posts, then you will know that I'm a big chicken when it comes to horror games. They just really aren't for me... and these Amnesia games have popped up before, but I know my limits. I'm passing on this... it does seem to be very well received, but I'm too easily scared!
Evil West was a bit of an interesting game for me... I was up in the air as to whether or not to claim it... but in the end, I have a list of unplayed games that is way too long... and quite honestly, this seems like a game that was designed more with co-op in mind, which tends to make for a pretty ordinary single player experience. Still, it does look damn pretty... but not for me.
Shadow Gambit was unfortunately the last game made by Minimi Games before they shut down... a pity, as it was a decent little studio, and Shadow Gambit was well received by reviewers and gamers. Again, a mainstay on my Steam wishlist... and I had avoided buying it (probably didn't help the cause of Minimi...) on various sales. But here it is, on the Humble Bundle.... and it was an insta-claim for me! It already is living on my Steam Deck, and it does sort of work quite okay on it... even with my lack of skill with controllers vs Keyboard/Mouse.
Eiyuden Chronicle seems to be a modern remake of an older JRPG... well, JRPGs aren't really my thing, I find them a bit grind-heavy... and remakes aren't really my thing either, there is something to be said about leaving fond memories stay fond memories... and I didn't know the original game either. So, I'm passing on this one... maybe it will be interesting for someone else!
Star Wars: Bounty Hunter... honestly, another remake of an old game... and this one didn't really update the visuals either! Sigh... skip.
Ultros, a side scroller action game... it does look quite nice, and it does seem to have been well received by critics and gamers... but I don't really click with side scrollers... they were great in the 80s and 90s... but I really think that we have moved on since then! Skip for me! But it does look really nice!
Corpse Keeper is an interesting Rouge-like in the vein of Darkest Dungeon... but I have Darkest Dungeon and the sequel... as well as a few of other similar games, and so I think I will skip this one. It does have an interesting visual look though, and people seem to really enjoy the game... but I'm afraid that I have too many similar games to make it worthwhile for me to claim. Maybe it is interesting to someone else!
