Well this thread came at the right time, I just got my second ever month of Humble Monthly. Mutant Year Zero for 11 euros, plus a pile of other games? Yes, please! I see Tacoma and The Sexy Brutale are in the Trove now as well, downloading as we speak.
I only get these 1 month at a time, if there's something in the early unlock that I really wanna play. Last time it was Rise Of The Tomb Raider and Getting Over It.
Anyone want the key for Absolver? Already got it via PS+ and it didn't really grab me. Also does anyone know if Northgard is any good?

I've heard good things about Northgard from people who like strategy games in general.

I was a subscriber for a couple of years, but I dropped it after last December after realizing that the growth rate of my games library was completely unsustainable and I'd never finish everything if it continued. As it is, I've got enough to last me for the rest of my life when combined with my also insanely large backlog of Thief FMs to play.

The brand new Humble Indie Bundle 20 looks fairly interesting! It's available for the next ~13 days.
Pay what you want:
The First Tree
Tangledeep
Among the Sleep
Pay more than average:
Getting Over It With Bennett Foddy
Tooth and Tail
Dream Daddy: A Dad Dating Simulator
Pay $10+:
Overgrowth
The First Tree is apparently a story-focused cute little mini adventure that is only supposed to take like an hour to finish. I wouldn't mind playing something like that for a change actually.
Tangledeep looks like an interesting roguelike, something that I've been looking for ever since I got bored of Crypt of the Necrodancer. Not sure about the visual side of it, but it's worth a try for sure!
Among the Sleep seems interesting as well; it's a first-person horror adventure, and it's also supposed to be quite short. Yay for short games! :D
Getting Over It With Bennett Foddy... I've heard good things about this, but what the heck - it looks like some QWOP-like joke game. Hmm.
Tooth and Tail: casual RTS with rodents - I'm not a fan of RTS games, but this looks casual enough and not overly serious so that even I might enjoy it.
Dream Daddy might be the last game of this bundle that I'll try. (In other words; most likely will never try) And it's another "Simulator" so it instantly loses a few points for that. On the other hand it looks like something that might potentially be somewhat fun. Dunno.
And in the $10+ category we have Overgrowth, an action game where you're a ninja rabbit... Yes please! Maybe? :p Is this worth the extra fiver?

I tackled Overgrowth in my backlogging thread a couple years ago, this is what I wrote:
Quote:
Yup, this thing that's been in development since forever. I knew I was in trouble already in the final stage of the tutorial, when you're tasked with knocking down your opponent 5 times. Well, I did it eventually, but in the meantime my opponent had easily knocked me down 20 times. Things didn't get easier once I started up the "Lugaru" campaign. The second level had me facing 2 opponents at once and I had to replay it a good 5-6 times before I managed to take them both down, and even then it felt like it was thanks to luck and perseverance, rather than any martial-arts skill on my behalf. On one hand I do like the physics-based combat, but on the other it's plain to see this is the kinda thing you're gonna have to invest a lot of time into if you're gonna have any chance of mastering and beating it.
Getting Over It is good stuff tho! :thumb:

Quick heads up for people who are into comics and stuff. The current Humble Comics Bundle contains a whole lot gaming comics, including Dishonored, Dark Souls, Ass Creed, Warhammer, Wolfenstein, Quake (?!), etc... I have absolutely no idea what they're like and whether they're any good or not, but I thought that someone might be interested.

Overgrowth... Man I remember playing the Lugaru demo when it first came out around 2007 or so. Thinking about it reminds me of how much the landscape has changed. Back then you'd just search for indie games and find them at their source or on whatever random "best indie games" lists they made it on, like this one, and you'd never really be sure if this was a real game or some glorified tech demo or worse until you played it. I remember not really knowing what to make of it then. It's unique with the personified rabbit thing going. I'll still give it that.

So, what's that new bundle all about? The only game I recognise is Stealth Inc.

Serial Cleaner
Stealth Inc 2: A Game of Clones
The Little Acre
Pay more than the average of $6.54 (about €5.76):
Human: Fall Flat
Smoke and Sacrifice
Stikbold! A Dodgeball Adventure
Pay $15 (about €13.21) or more:
For The King
Bomber Crew

Human Fall Flat is a GOOD TIME, especially with friends.
And I'm kinda interested in Bomber Crew, but not enough to buy the bundle.
Tomi on 21/3/2019 at 16:20
Might be worth investing in the MTA tier. Bomber Crew does look kinda interesting indeed, but yeah, probably not extra 8 euros good.
