Is it? There are some unfamiliar minor characters but it showcases events that took place in the original.
Admittedly, it's been years since I played that game.

Another deadly spoiler. Future Sephiroth. I'm not saying this is bad or anything, now I want to play it more than ever, but purists might wince.

It's okay if you have any questions.


The original game is still there. Someone who wants that same experience can just go play it again.

Watch Dogs 2 had fun gameplay, but I absolutely could not stand the characters in it. Exactly the type of vapid tech-bro, "disruptive" neo-punk dipshits you'd expect to be living in San Francisco, except it's the future, so their insufferable dipshittery has evolved to the next level.

More big spoilers. Apparently the black cloud stuff flying around in the trailer are timeline ghosts that stop a future version of Sephiroth from screwing up the original timeline. So it looks like the game will be going into uncharted territory. Multiple cutscenes have already been leaked.

That's a pretty good selection. Hitman 2 is an obvious gimme, but Molek-Syntez and Opus Magnum are some of the best puzzle games around if you enjoy that whole SpaceChem style "make a molecule-crafting mechanism in the most efficient way possible" style of play. This Is The Police 2 is a pretty solid strategy/tactics heavy police simulator game. Driftlands is a pretty good light strategy game that reminds me a bit of Eador and Majesty.

Is there a way to hide a certain game from showing as me currently playing it on my friends list? I'm playing IdleWizard but would like to avoid having it show to my friends that I'm playing it nonstop because it's running in the background.

It does, but you can wait to pause until literally the very last day and it'll make no difference to your billing. You can even make Humble send you a reminder email.

GRIS is one of the prettiest looking games I've ever played. Every screen is like a beautiful watercolor painting. And the soundtrack is so evocative too!

Gameplay-wise, it basically plays a lot like Majesty used to. You do not have direct control over your units, you just set rewards and wait for them to get things done on your own. You basically get huge maps of floating islands that you can move around more or less at will and then slowly explore and colonize them with a progressively larger network of bridges. The islands will have different terrains and resources and occasionally there will be quest-like things and special items you can award to individual units. You get to build structures, have to manage income, can cast some fun spells, etc. You know the basic structure of games like that, I'm sure.

It's not a very deep game, but I thought it was pretty alright for what it is. I wouldn't recommend buying full price, but a collection like that? Not the worst deal you could make.

I've got the subscription so it's just a matter of choices, I think I'll take my chances with that. Visually it reminds me of an old (as in, the nineties) strategy game that was set on floating islands as well, can't remember the name.
And I'm honestly perfectly fine with a Majesty-style kingdom builder.

Barudak went on a road trip to hell attempting to finish Bard's Tale IV so unless they completely reworked the game, it's probably not going to be very good but who knows.

Holy poo poo, InXile is even more incompetent than I thought. And that was a pretty high bar to clear, ive played Wasteland 2.

This post is pathetic.
Aside from the obvious Hitman 2, molek-syntez and maybe Raiden IV are cool looking. If I didn't have a poo poo ton of games to play, I'd maybe consider the low tier of choice for those 3. :shrug: It's hard to be excited when Doom Eternal, Animal Crossing, FF7 and RE3 are out\coming out soon.

In case someone has a key for a game called Tricky Towers - https://store.steampowered.com/app/437920/Tricky_Towers/ - could you please send me a DM? The payment processor used by Steam in my country is not working correctly and rejecting all transactions - I was hoping to get that game for my kid before the sale runs out, but it appears it has been in a bundle quite a few times so maybe someone has a spare key they can sell or exchange (I have quite a few from when I subscribed to Humble Bundle). Thanks!

Humble Choice - Bonus Game FAQ

We are happy to announce that the April 2020 Humble Choice will be including a bonus game! This game is not revealed on April 3rd with the other games in this month, but will be revealed after the month of April has concluded on May 1st.

We're all going to experience changes in our life but only the best of us will qualify for front row seats.

That Conquer Covid-19 bundle offers a free month of Humble Choice for new subscribers. I don't know if that gets you 3 games or 9, but that might make the whole thing even sweeter.

Edit: It's a coupon for 9 games.
