Humble Bundle is offering Endless Space as a freebie for the next 44 hours! It might be worth getting if you're into turn-based strategy games. Or actually, it might be worth getting even if you aren't. I think it's one of those games that you really need to invest some time in, and I haven't cared about that genre since Civilization III, so it's not going to place too high on my ever-growing to-play-list.

Having said that, this month's main Humble Monthly game (for subscribers) is <s>Battletech</s>BattleTech - another turn-based strategy game. I've never really cared about mechs and stuff either, so hopefully the other monthly games will be more interesting, otherwise this month will be a bit of a disappointment.

As someone who enjoys Space 4X games, Endless Space is not in my top 10. There are some simplifications in parts the gameplay that lead to needless complications of the overall game for me to enjoy it more. It may be worth a look if you want to check out the genre for the price of free.
It does have a lot of good ideas. Most of which are also present in the far superior (IMO) Endless Legends.

Ooooh, I actually wanna play BattleTech. AND I see the Trove now also features Wilmot's Warehouse, which RPS has been raving about.

November's Humble subscriber early unlock games:
* Call of Duty: WWII
* Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy
* Spyro Reignited Trilogy
After last month's disappointing list of games, I wasn't too pleased to see these three games at first, but even though they're all something that I'd normally skip, I'm now kind of looking forward to giving them a chance. I mean, I've never played a CoD game before, so I think now's a good time to change that. This one doesn't look too bad either, and hey, unless I'm mistaken, CoD: WWII is a modern FPS with a proper health bar (auto-regenerating health is for n00bz :p)! Spyro and Crash Bandicoot both look kinda similar, but Spyro somehow seems more interesting and looks more fun (I've never played any of those games either) so I'm gonna give it a go.

Ooooh, glad I held off on getting it last month, this is a much more tempting offer. Downloading Spyro now, also wanna check out COD:WW2 singleplayer campaign + recent Trove additions Wilmot's Warehouse, Shady Knight, and Once Upon A Crime In The West.

Ok, just played an hour of Wilmot's Warehouse and I can confirm it's good stuff. Like a more fleshed out, slow-burn version of Yakoob's Fulfillment Center. Not sure if it'll have the same commentary as Koob's game, but I did already get a warning for messing up on my first day.
Also played a bit of Shady Knight. Anyone longing for more Dark Messiah/Dishonored combat might wanna give it a whirl, as it's very much a fast-paced arcade version of that kinda stuff.

I kinda liked it, but also was put off my its difficulty. Get hit once and you'll have to replay the level from the start, which is especially annoying early on when you're just trying to figure out the rules of the game.

5 hours and 14 minutes later, my career as a warehouse manager comes to an end. I got SACKED. :| Fun game though. My initial comparrison to Koob's game was probably mostly because I'd played it so soon before. Wilmot's Warehouse is low on commentary. It's mainly just a game about the geniune joy of organizing things.
Also played a bit of Spyro 1. Ehhhh... not hooked yet. Do the later Spyro games improve the gameplay? At least early in Spyro 1 it's too simplistic to be much fun.

The (
https://www.humblebundle.com/games/one-special-day-2019-bundle) One Special Day Bundle is still available for two more days.
$1+* Broken Age
* Purrfect Date
BTA (>$5.40)* The Swords of Ditto: Mormo's Curse
* Stronghold Crusader 2
* Bomber Crew
$10+* Dirt 4
* Tannenberg
This time I went for the highest tier, just because I wanted to see what
Dirt 4 is like.
Bomber Crew is one of those games that I've thinking about buying for a long time, and I might give
Broken Age a try too some time. Not a bad deal for $10.
