Another month, another chance to grab eight more games on the cheap.
But are they games worth adding to the library, or just filler to make
The Number go up? Let's find out.

 

As usual 2-3 games on the list are worth my time.
That is basically the general scheme every month.
So yes it is worth the price!

 

I'm already happy if there's one a month that I find at least somewhat
interesting.

 Yeah, the pricing is usually good enough that if there's even ONE game
on the list that you're interested in, you're still coming out ahead.
 Usually, I find that there's one game I'm REALLY interested in (e.g.,
it's probably on a 'wishlist' on Steam or GOG or elsewhere), two or
three games that might be interesting, with the rest being filler that
may or may not be to my taste.
 Under 'normal' circumstances, this would be a bonanza. I'd play all
the games in the first two categories, and maybe one or two 'filler'
games too; a pretty good result for just $12 USD. These days, it is a
slightly less appealing deal, just because there's such a FLOOD of
free games that it's become impossible to keep up. (I hesitate to
admit how many new games are added to my library each month, but it's
/far/ more than the five or six I list in the monthly 'what have you
been playing' thread ;-)
 Still, I still maintain that HumbleChoice remains a good option for
gamers looking to acquire new titles without paying a fortune for the
privilege. Sure, they've offered some stinkers at times, and you'll
never get the newest-and-greatest, but it's an inexpensive way to grab
a lot of good games at a reasonable price. Personally, I find it a far
better deal than other subscription plans where you only have access
to the games so long as you keep playing; games you buy through
HumbleChoice are yours to keep.
 IMHO, YMMV, etc.
 

No no, I have the same opinion. It just sucks sometimes when there's one or two months with barely anything worth even looking at sometimes. There have been some really good games in there over time, but a lot of the games they have are just kind of... meh. Even the ones that initially seem interesting sometimes tire me out quickly enough.
Come to think of it, when was the last time I actually played a game from Choice for longer?
Check Check...
Huh, I played Roadwarden, which I got July 2023. That actually was a pretty good month. Ever since then I barely played any of the games in the bundle.
Why am I still paying for this?!
