Is it DS2 + Scholar of the First Sin, or just the DLC? Sorry if that's a stupid question, it's just not entirely obvious from the Humble site.

After the high of last months bundle, comes the low of this months, getting Plague Inc is good though. I don't like the fact that there's a comic instead of a Humble Debut though.

Not actually better value than the sale price (has been £7.50 a few times now, may well be even lower by the end of the month) unlike previous headline games plus this month's bundle was a bit of a disappointment for me with 2 games I already owned and only 1 I was particularly interested in besides the headline. I imagine a lot of the people who already picked up Superhot from the G2A bundle feel the same.

Even if I didn't have DS2 (which is easily the weakest of the Souls games I've played) there's no way I'd go in for this one. I do wish they'd put some kind of system in place for people who get duplicates since you buy blind (e.g. 'pick 6 out of 8' or perhaps store credit/ credit towards other bundles), it's just not worth risking being let down on months where the headline game doesn't provide value on its own.

Grabbed DS2 last week for £7 - Guess I'll skip this months bundle.

cold. this is not posted by buzz or illusionary as always.

kidding :smiley: heat for you nathan

Ashes isn't of interest to me really, monthly's have a lot of strategy games recently which I hope isn't a continuing trend, although I sold Stellaris to cover the bundle so that's not too bad. Also superhot being in that G2A bundle means most people who get monthly will have it.

Ah didn't even realise it was the same amount of games, just the lack of debut so assumed, my mistake :man:

I would prefer DS III but DS II will do. is it any good man. i have heard that some people did complain on it.

Not sure about last month's selection of titles. Stellaris looks decent but I doubt I can commit the time and dedication it requires. I already own Superhot and I'm not thrilled by the others.

Admittedly I was planning to take a break for a month but the incentive of that Humble store discount meant I left it too late.

DARK SOULS™ II: Scholar of the First Sin Metacritic: 79% (8 critics, 7.3 from 287 users), Steam: Very Positive 87% (12837 reviews)

Humble monthly having a lot of bad months lately it's a real gamble buying these things, rather just buy normal bundles to give to charity and get games as at least I know I am going to get a decent game or two.

Last months bundle was hideous!!! DS2 was around £7 in the sale too, i bet the rest of the games are poop.

There sure are a lot of picky people moaning about getting 8 games for £9.26 considering it goes to charity

the problem facing the humble bundle is that the games offered as a package are repeating .... which I think makes the package worth a lot less so if the headline game, as in this months case, is a bit pants then it just is not worth doing.

i dont see any problems. 9.50 for 8 games is a great deal. it also helps me with my game money spending addiction. i feel happy when I get 8 games every month and dont spend money unnecessarily on AA titles. i wait a little for price drop and bobs my uncle.

I can't stand the Dark Souls games, so I'm tempted to skip this month. Then again, I might just give it away.

I find it very hit/miss affair, I stopped the previous months, and when I saw the games I was glad. This month's was a good deal. Next months, I'm tempted, I have original DS2 on my steam account, but never paid for the Remastered + all DLC's version. So £9 for that, and some other random games is a good deal (for me).

Great game, about time I bought it legit, so well worth it for me

edit : omg someone please tell me how to get this new HUKD layout rolled back....my eyes are bleeding!!

I've really enjoyed the last few of these.

Undertale, Inside, This is the Police, Plague, Ashes and Shoppe Keep are all games I've looked at and not been quite ready to buy, and Stellaris and DS2 have both been on my wishlist for a while.

Humble's helped me find a couple of games I really enjoyed, so hopefully the same might be true with some of the above.

I wish they'd included the VR version of superhot as the original feels devalued by the G2A bundle, but all in all (for me) these have worked out really well. A lot of it is quite popular stuff though, so I imagine for bigger spenders who are into indie these might be a bit frustrating. I sometimes swap duplicates if I'm not giving them to friends as presents, and generally have had good experiences on the swapping side (steamtrades) if that helps anyone.

Still, getting 10% off all humble purchases with 5% of that going to a charity of your choicis enough to warrant buying games from their rather than steam.

Played the first and finally got around to getting this one, very enjoyable and seems easier than the first which isn't too bad!
