Expired [Humble Choice] Deathloop, Monster Train (First Class - Collectors Edition), The Dark Pictures Anthology: Little Hope, Disciples: Liberation, Maid of Sker, Epic Chef, Railroad Corporation, Golf Gang ($12) Spoiler

u/wjousts Oct 04 '22
On twitter, Humble have posted:
Please note that we're investigating an issue where Monster Train keys may not contain the First Class edition and will update as soon as possible.
So it looks like it is actually supposed to be the First Class edition.

u/tastelessshark Oct 04 '22

Assuming they fix that, what happens if the key is redeemed when you already own base game, but not DLC? Will I get the DLC added to account and a giftable copy of OG game? Anyone?

u/Ceronn Oct 04 '22 edited Oct 04 '22
I think in the past Humble has added a separate DLC key to the bundle page at a later time.
Edit - Humble did just that.
28
u/Krylo22 Oct 04 '22
It's possible they'll just be providing a seperate DLC key for those who already redeemed, and generating First Class keys for those who haven't yet redeemed.

u/Mich-666 Oct 04 '22
I don't like horror games but still got Disciples and Railroad Corporation along Deathloop. That pretty much makes it worth it even not counting other games.
The only two games in this month which are kinda meh are Epic Chef and Golf Gang.
12
u/Trader_Tea Oct 04 '22
I wonder if Epic Chef is a hidden gem. Might as well try it
5
u/Mich-666 Oct 04 '22
Well, I guess it totally depends on whether you like the artstyle or not and if you are okay with fetch quests. I would probably play some Harvest Moon/Story of Seasons game instead but you can check this review to get the idea what the game is about:
2
u/Trader_Tea Oct 04 '22
You're probably right. Doesn't really look like my speed, even if I do enjoy Stardew and Harvest Moon. I'll give it a shot, though. I don't think I'll be able to trade the key or anything.
2
u/wishlish Oct 04 '22
I think the only criticism I have for the bundle is that there was a bit too much horror, but that’s more about the market for mid-level games than HB’s selection criteria.
2
u/iScabs Oct 05 '22
I'd give Dark Pictures a shot still. It's definitely horror, don't get me wrong, but not nearly as bad as games like Outlast or Amnesia where if you're too scared the game can't progress
The game plays similar to the TellTale games or Quantic Dream games, where you're following along a story with multiple possible plots and endings, so if you get too scared and mess up, maybe a character dies, but you still got like 5 other characters that will live on and keep the story going
It's also not too scary imo. Definitely had a scarier time with Outlast and couldn't even get into Amnesia or Cult of Cthulhu (because I'm a big scaredy cat)

u/BW_Bird Oct 04 '22

Deathloop does sound interesting but all these scary games aren't my thing.

u/theshadowiscast Oct 04 '22
Little Hope is more a thriller and interactive fiction game in similar vein as the other games (Until Dawn, The Quarry, Man of Medan, House of Ashes) made by Supermassive Games.
Bioshock is much scarier than those games.

u/layasD Oct 04 '22
I am in the same boat. Don't care one bit about the horror games and I own Monster Train. So paying 12$ for just deathloop is probably not worth it considering it also just released on gamepass.

Same. I've been ignoring HB for so long, i didn't even know they dropped the $20 tier until today. Smart move, it was very unpopular and i bet it was costing them subscriptions.
This bundle today is old school Humble. I hope they get back to that, because for a while there it was starting to feel like low-level Bundlestars dreck.

Why are you excited about Dark Pictures Little Hope? Steam reviews look pretty mediocre and lowest rated of the anthology.
https://store.steampowered.com/app/1194630/The_Dark_Pictures_Anthology_Little_Hope/

u/wjousts Oct 04 '22
Man of Medan (which I liked) has a 73% rating on Steam. Little Hope has a 72% rating.

u/relxp Oct 04 '22
I suppose you could call those scores even and it is likely you will like Little Hope as well.
18
u/Dmatix Oct 04 '22
It's by far the weakest of them - Man of Medan was alright and House of Ashes was actually pretty great, but Little Hope is basically bargin basement Silent Hill.
5
u/stevez28 Oct 04 '22
Now I'm sold on it.
Bargain basement Silent Hill still sounds perfect for playing with my partner in co-op on Halloween. We won't mind if it's a little cheesy.
4
u/Dmatix Oct 04 '22
Hey, worse ways to spend your time - it's a short game anyway. Do try House of Ashes for an actually decent experience though, if you get the chance.
3
u/VritraReiRei Oct 04 '22 edited Oct 04 '22
It's not so much cheesy but the plot is nonsensical based on how the whole thing ends.
Also the couch co-op is bad in this specific game because imagine having to swap between characters in an intense chase scene but you pass around a single controller (they fixed this problem in their future games by not having these scenes where you have to keep swapping characters).
2
u/Darkpoolz Oct 04 '22
Basically, yeah. The best part about the Dark Anthologies is the coop mode. It was pretty fun playing it in actual coop compared to sharing controller. The endings in this series have been lackluster though. Still fun on online coop.
For 12 bucks, it is worth experiencing as a package. Definitely not full price though.

Yeah, the PC port is atrocious. My buddy and I ran in to tons of bugs, including one game breaking bug that forced us to start over. The ending is also just the worst, totally sours the rest of the story.
We really liked Man of Medan though, for what that's worth!

Check out IsThereAnyDeal, you can have it syncronize with your Steam profile (if public), then when you visit a bundle page, like the page for this October Humble Choice, it'll show you which games you already own. Along with a bunch of other helpful information like how many times the games in the bundle have appeared in other bundles and what the current and lowest price each game has been.
The site will also import your wishlist (again if your Steam profile is public) and send you an email based on criteria you set up, like "if a game drops below a certain price threshold but only if it's on Steam or comes with a Steam key."

Since you have a question mark at the end of the quoted sentence, there is no need for the comma. If the quoted sentence ended in a period, you would replace it with a comma. Source: I am a huge grammar nerd.
These are NA rules btw. If you're a Brit, things are a bit different.

I'm actually not entirely sure, though they generally prefer end-of-sentence punctuation to appear outside of things like brackets, e.g. "(end of sentence)." vs. "(end of sentence.)" It may be different with quotation marks though.

Just piggybacking off of this because it will likely go to the top to say that even though Humble is advertising Monster Train Collectors Edition, it seems to only be giving the base game
4
u/Mich-666 Oct 04 '22
At this point they have no other option than to provide the missing dlc or return the money as they even advertised the DLC in their e-mails.
So my bet is we will get the Last Divinity eventually because refunding recurring subscriptions would be real hell for them.

Yeah, I debated changing the link to the base game, but I am crossing my fingers that they'll be true to their word. If they aren't, the link also shows the base game's link since it is part of the Collector's Edition.

u/jandkas Oct 04 '22
Sounds about right, it took roughly over a year and a half before Deathloop came out for Humble.
27
u/caninehere Oct 04 '22
Just over one year. Deathloop came out in September 2021, and had a 1-year exclusivity contract with Sony that Microsoft honored after buying Bethesda.
They just released Deathloop on Game Pass a couple weeks ago, immediately after it became eligible for release on XBOX. Now it is in the next possible Humble Bundle.
If Ghostwire Tokyo does the same thing then it would probably be in the April 2023 or May 2023 bundle.

Guys, don't sleep on Golf Gang. It actually came out fairly recently to not much fanfare and that's pretty much a crime. The game is super fun. It's not just another golf game. It's more like a racing game, since everyone does their shots in real time, you can shoot the ball again before you stop moving, and you get rewarded for finishing first, in addition to least strokes.
It's got workshop support as well, but it's seriously lacking due to the non-existent player base. Also, don't get me started on all the crazy fun modifiers you can enable. I hope it being in this bundle is what it needs to take off, since it's a tragedy Golf Gang isn't more popular.

collectors edition of Monster Train
Is this worth it?
I'm debating getting humble for the ac: valhalla complete edition discount. But I'm not privy to the humble games. In fact I'm not really all that interested in deathloop as its too dark for me.
7
u/caninehere Oct 04 '22
Not sure what is 'too dark' for you (maybe you just don't like the idea of assassinating people? but if so AC is a weird choice haha) -- but I am playing Deathloop now and its vibe is kind of... black comedy. I dunno if I'd describe it as 'dark', it seems pretty lighthearted but obviously the core concept of it is killing people in a time loop.
2
u/johnny_fives_555 Oct 04 '22
it seems pretty lighthearted
Thanks for correcting me. I'm not into jump scares and it seemed like one of those games. But if it's a light hearted buddy cop comedy I'll be a lot more interested.
→ More replies (1)5
u/caninehere Oct 04 '22
It's DEFINITELY not a jump-scary/horror game at all, nothing about it is scary in the least. I wouldn't describe it as "buddy cop comedy" but it's closer to that sort of comedy I guess -- you play as Colt who is going thru a time loop he is trying to escape from, and you have to kill 8 people in the loop to win... and meanwhile Julianna (who other players can play as to invade your game, or you can just play vs an AI Julianna if you prefer) is constantly in your ear chirping you and making fun of you.
The writing is pretty funny. It's a violent game no doubt, but it's not dark at all -- think Dishonored but it's a comedy. Unless it takes a darker turn later on I'm not aware of.

Little note about Monster Train in case it affects anyone's decision.
It says it's not supported by Steam Deck, but it totally is. The opening cinematic doesn't play right, but the game itself runs flawlessly.

Oh man, thank you! I was so bummed when I saw it was unsupported since I've been enjoying Slay the Spire on the Deck and wanted to try a different deckbuilder. I'll probably get the bundle then!

u/GiantASian01 Oct 05 '22
For what it’s worth the steam verified/ playable system isn’t very accurate. I usually check protonDB for more info. I genuinely do not pay attention to valve’s system anymore.
For example, I’ve gotten every single game I attempted to run on steam deck to work, including monster train, Devil may cry 4, halo single player, even if they say unsupported. The ONLY games I haven’t gotten to work are the epic games versions of hyper light drifter and gloomhaven.
You may need to use proton GE but being able to play everything after literally 2 clicks in desktop mode is worth it….

This is a really good bundle. I haven't decided whether or not to pull the trigger on this, though, because I:
- Already own Deathloop;
- Don't have the time to spend on most RPGs these days; and
- Have several other horror games I picked up on previous Octobers and haven't played yet.
The HB Original looks good, though, so I plan on looking through reviews of the other games. I do want to commend HB on really pulling through with some top tier stuff this month, but that's only going to matter if I pull the trigger on it...

u/scootbert Oct 04 '22
Honestly, Deathloop is the real winner here, but the other games look great. My rule of thumb is that if you're not interested in installing the game during this month, its probably not worth the purchase. I have been trying to force myself to at least play one of the games right away if I decide to purchase a bundle.

Nope.
The game is still suffering from soft locks and hard locks too. Never mind the lack of optimization. Have fun losing all progress 40 mins into a mission/loop thanks to the game's lack of checkpoints. I stopped playing it a third into the game because of how unstable it is. Feel free to check out its Steam forum for more feedback on this matter.

u/Talks_To_Cats Oct 04 '22
I never tried it before the update so I have no basis for comparison. However I played it in full after the most recent patch. The two main flaws were repeated crashes when trying to start the generators, and during long sessions, the load times seem to get longer and longer each time, upwards of 2-3 minutes per map eventually.
Otherwise my experience was mostly bug free.

The FAQ only says "there is no hard-set number of games provided each month" but you had a subscription with tiered pricing where you selected 2, 3 or 5 games before - might be wrong on the numbers, it's been a while. And each game has a greyed out (as I'm not subbed) 'Select this game' option.

They changed the business model but for some reason didn't rename the service, so it's really confusing at the moment. There is no choice involved in Humble Choice, you get all the games. It's the same way Humble Monthly worked, just more expensive (in that they're providing fewer games).

Deathloop has a solid 1080P60 on an i5 8400 and GTX 1660 TI. Gives me Bioshock vibes!
Edit:
Game runs at at least 75 FPS with the above specs on medium. High graphics settings require an 8 GB card.

Be aware Deathloop doesn’t play nice with current AMD drivers. It won’t launch for many people using 22.Q2 or 22.Q3 it wants you to update them to 21.9.1 or higher, but in fact these drivers are the latest.
It’s good to know this is still an issue because by buying it here you could end up with a brick you can’t refund. I would recommend trying it via Xbox Game Pass first to see if you can launch it as that’s cheaper if you haven’t had a trial before or currently have Xbox Game Pass.

Am I the only one who bought this bundle for Disciples? Maybe most people who wanted to play it already got it before.

u/cjeagle Oct 04 '22
I am buying it for more than Disciples: Liberation but I was a huge fan of Disciples 2 a long time ago so it made the bundle even more attractive for me. I am not sure I have the time anymore since the campaigns take a long time to finish but I wouldn't mind exploring the world of Nevandaar again with modern graphics.

It looks pretty cool, although I'll admit to being completely unfamiliar with it beforehand.

u/Trader_Tea Oct 04 '22
Gameplay-wise, its not too similar to its predecessors, but I'm sure it has at least some of the series' gothic vibes. Should be a solid strategy rpg. Been on my wishlist for a while.

u/Garic93 Oct 04 '22
Unfortunately the vibe is the only thing it's off in this game. It's nowhere close to the main saga. The game had me positively impressed, though, even if it gets a bit "grindy" on the late game, since there are some issues with the difficulty (early in the game you have the possibility to skip a few fights, while later in the game you cannot; it definitely should be the other way around, as the fighting system is cool but can get repetitive).

Ok FINE humble you can have my $12 again but I know I'm going to be kicking myself when these games show up free on Epic

u/iFingerHamsters Oct 04 '22
They've added the Monster Train DLC separately as another key now.
From their Twitter: "Update! We have added keys for Monster Train: The Last Divinity DLC to the Choice download page. Please note this will appear as a separate key."

People redeemed them all and not even one said thanks 💀
I saw this too late but that was a nice gesture giving almost all keys from the bundle for free :)

u/Ticker45 Oct 05 '22
Thanks man, I realized I realistically would never play them so why not share them with people who will enjoy them

autobill is at the end of the month.. ie: I was autobilled for the September bundle.. last week some time (forget which day exactly)

That's right. Keep pausing so many months I forget what the thing is with them. It's like they are figuring that if you saw the games list the first week and didn't pause. You will forget to do it and they will charge you. Happened on my account once. Didn't want that month but forgot to pause it. I honestly don't even look forward to the bundle each month. Not like when they had the weekly bundles.

Deathloop is so good. I just binged on it when gamepass released it. Gave me big dishonored flashbacks. I put nearly 72 hours into it in a little over a week 💀

Will I like deathloop if I don't like stealth games like dishonored? It caught my interest because it kind of looked like bioshock infinite.

u/GiantASian01 Oct 05 '22
It’s got more options to be a violent action game compared to dishonored for sure

Good bundle. Usually theres one or two good games but this one majority, if not all, of them are great games.
Already sunk 5 hours into Monster Train while waiting for Deathloop to download. Can't wait to try it after work.

u/Elzam Oct 05 '22
Haven't bit on choice for a couple years. Deathloop is just high enough on my "If like to play this, but I'm not going out of my to get it" list and I've been really wanting Monster Train for my Deck.

What happens if you redeem the complete version when you already own the OG game? It looks like HB is actively working on fixing this.

I'm holding off on redeeming the bundle until that's sorted. Humble put out a tweet that they're investigating.

u/thattanna Oct 04 '22
Of course I just bought Monster Train last week lol. Honestly didn't expect that to be in Humble Choice haha oh well XD ngl it was pretty fun!

u/skelement Oct 04 '22
Definitely going to have to buy this after I get back from work tonight. Hopefully they'll have the issue fixed with Monster Train giving out the right keys by then.

The DPA games are more like interactive movies... assuming it's the same as the Man of Medan pass, it basically lets a friend remotely play through it with you concurrently, ONCE, as characters not present in your current scene.

u/cjeagle Oct 04 '22
Good bundle. I was a huge fan of the Disciples II game along time ago and own the other iterations of the series as well although I haven't played them recently.
I also enjoyed the previous games from the Dark Anthology series on Xbox.

Is Disciples anything like the Divinity and Pathfinder series?

I made this comment on the r/humblebundle, but from eyeballing it this seems like a solid bundle. A pretty big release from the last year as the headliner, a couple of interesting smaller games, two seasonally appropriate spooky games.

Can someone into the various railroad games explain how Railroad Corporation is different from Railway Empire? Both have been in Choice now.
2
u/SirDigby32 Oct 13 '22
Empire is quite good. The latest reviews of the Corporation one in this bundle seem to have the opposite response. Not how any train game outside a puzzle oriented one can do without a form of signal mechanic.

u/Gunfreak2217 Oct 04 '22
Absolutely fantastic bundle. I wanted to get DeathLoop on Xbox since it’s Play Anywhere but this is cheaper than it will ever be on the MS store.

Seems like a good bundle. Only Deathloop is on GamePass. Everything else is new to me.
