This month's Humble Bundle is a touch ho-hum for me... I think that there are two stand out games that really will appeal to me, but the rest is a bit of a mixed bag that I'm not likely to hold on to. That said, given the cheap price of the subscription, even just having one game that is of interest to me makes the Humble Bundle worth it... as long as I haven't succumbed to a Steam sale temptation and bought it already...
Headlining the bundle this month is a Sci-Fi FPS that brings to mind the world of Cyberpunk... GhostRunner does look pretty nice, and it isn't the sort of thing that I would have been interested in, but given that it is in the bundle, I think I will be adding it to the long list of games that I have in the Steam backlog... I love the visual design, and the story setting seems intriguing enough for me to at least give it a go... when I find time!
Destroy All humans is a remake of a game that I vaguely remember from the past... it has some serious Mars Attacks vibes, and you play the role of an Earth invading alien... the setting just brings such a stupid grin to my face... and I definitely want to play this remaster. I don't think I had played the original, so I don't think I will be suffering from any nostalgia disappointment! So, this was one of the games that grabbed me... and makes the bundle worthwhile for me, but it wasn't the one that I was most looking forward to!
Monster Sanctuary is a bit less interesting for me... I'm not a big fan of side scrollers, and the retro styling doesn't really ever do anything for me... I think I will be listing this key for sale.
Twin stick shooter, Killsquad.... I'm sure it might be fun with friends, but I'm really a single player story gamer... this isn't going to be much fun for me. It is going on the sell list.
Top down rogue-lite Zelda-like Rogue of Heroes... again, I'm not really into the retro stylings of this one. I might give it a bit of a go... but I'm also tempted just to sell this one. I have no real interest in these sorts of games!
Now, the game that I REALLY was EXCITED to see in the bundle! Suzerain! Okay, this is pretty niche as far as interest goes... but I'm really into these sorts of games. Text based nation leadership as the newly elected President of a tiny little country? Yes please! Yep, definitely niche as all hell and I suspect that very few people are likely to want to play this read-a-thon... but this one is right up my alley!
Chicken Police is bizarre... who the hell comes up with the ideas for these games! Noir styling set in a Chicken and Cat world... to tell the truth, after looking at the store page and the screenshots... I'm hooked! I definitely going to try this one out... this is the best thing about the bundles, you get some pretty left-field inclusions that can turn out to be real gems that you would never have otherwise thought of trying out!
Naruto... online team fights... no thank you. After reading the reviews, I'm even less inclined to try it... there is one that reads "free online gaming dressed up as a paid game". That is enough for me, I am pretty sure that I'm not really going to enjoy this one!
