I already have SFV, Shadow of War, Graveyard Keeper and Bad North. I'm debating getting the bundle for Two Point Hospital and Dirt Rally 2.0. Are any of the other games any good?

Not sure about the others, but I'd say the bundle is worth it for Graveyard, Two Point, and Rally 2.0 alone.

I'm debating on diving in on the $15 tier for just Rally 2.0 as it's the only one in the bunch that I'm interested in (already own GK & TPH).

I don't have Graveyard, Two Point or Shadow of War, so that looks like a good deal to me! I've got a couple of the others, the rest is just bonus i guess.

Whispers of a Machine is a neat little classic adventure game with a cyberpunk detective theme btw - it's short but pretty good. Can't say i've played any of the others.

Is shadow of war good? I liked shadow of Mordor, but so heard there was some crappy loot box shenanigans in War.

The more egregious loot box issues were removed so that’s not too bad. However, it’s basically more of the same from Shadow of Mordor with a bunch of somewhat extraneous systems tacked on. I liked it, but was losing interest before the end, which didn’t occur with the first one.

Nice, this month looks pretty good to me. I've wanted to try both Graveyard Keeper and Two Point Hospital. Shadow or War is a nice bonus. $12 for those 3 games is a win for me, the rest is gravy.

For me, it's 4 games I wanted a bigger discount in the steam sale. I'll call that a win. Last month, I didn't redeemed anything.

I'm for Graveyard Keeper, Two Point, SF5 and Grip. Seems like a great month.

Someone chime in with how GRIP is, I've had my eye on that.

This is wonderful, already have two games, so just yoink on the other ten.

Son of a... I just bought Shadow of War and Two Point through a deal on Fanatical. At least I got the Definitive Edition. :/

Oh well... A few others look interesting and a few I can toss to my kids this month. Last month kind of sucked, but this is still worth $12 for me.

February's games are up.

Uninspiring set of games. But, I've been looking out for Pathfinder and Okami for a while now so, I'll grab it.

That is the best they have offered for quite a while imo. Though I already have the ones I would want - as usual.
But Frostpunk is pretty good, Pathfinder is great, Okami is quite good too. No idea about the others.

Yeah, I've been wanting to try Frostpunk and Pathfinder, Book of Demons looks somewhat interesting, somewhat interested in Okami and Shenzen IO, and I might give Warstone TD a whirl. Considering I still haven't chosen any of the games from last month, it's at least a better offering for me.

Frostpunk was also free on EGS recently, so should have no draw for anyone save the most insistent on DRM free.

EDIT: I forgot, it wasn't free on EGS, it's on Game Pass PC.

It was? EGS shows nothing for me when searching for Frostpunk right now. Seems like there is a DLC included here in any case. I would assume a fair amount of people miss some of the free games on EGS anyway. I surely have missed some - such as Frostpunk apparently.

There are generally a lot of crossovers in which games are offered for free/cheap/subscription on various services. That is likely unavoidable.

Eliza is brilliant, was my #1 GOTY last year.

If you can get past the fact that it's effectively a visual novel, it's thought provoking, tender and a fascinating near-future semi-dystopic look at the intersection between tech and what makes us human.

If you've engaged with talk therapy, it can also be read as horror.

Frostpunk recently game to Game Pass? Maybe tomatohead is confused?

I'm in. I was just within delta of buying Pathfinder Kingmaker just a couple of days ago, and here it is in a bundle. Only thing stopping me was my rule guideline about not buying anything I'm not going to immediately play. Frostpunk's also been on my radar as another game I'd like but haven't picked up for pile reasons.

Shenzhen I/O is pretty interesting but like the other Zachtronics games I think I want to play more than I actually do; it's too much like work. I did enjoy what we called 'digital death lab' in college though, and this is kind of the same thing (except the TTL book is deliberately helpful and the SI/O book is less so).

This is probably my weakest bundle in the recent times, but I'm still getting it as I been eyeing Pathfinder. Frostpunk I already own, same with Okami.. so those will be giveways
I will try out Eliza based on Jonmans praises, Project Warlock looks interesting in old school doom kind of way

Maybe it wasn't... oohhhhh. Sorry. It on Game Pass PC. I'll edit.

Not a bad set. I might go in for it. I've already got Shenzhen (it's quite good if you want a programming-based puzzle game with some solid story-telling) and I'm not super-interested in Frostpunk (I like the idea of it, but the tone is not really what I'm looking for these days). But Eliza and The Hex are both game I've had my eye on, and I've somehow never played Okami (how's the PC port, by the way?) so there's a reasonable amount of value there for me.

Pretty cool bundle for me, had my eye on Frostpunk for ages!

Got a few unclaimed games. Free to participating members of the forum

Edit: Okami claimed

That Humble monthly is insane.

I had like 8 of those games Wishlisted, lol.

What a boon.

Edit: Make that 9

Looking at the pic above the first 2 rows were on my Wishlist already as well as Night Call in the bottom row.

Completely nuts.

Excellent bundle for me this month, only owned two of the games.

Warstone is a fun tower defense with a quest system that takes 10-15 hours to finish the campaign. Recommended if you like the genre.

I'll throw a nod to project warlock. Old school doom style fps.

This is the first month that I had no prior interest to any of the games.

As usual though I will look them up and find gems in there I'm sure.

I'm already partly sold to Frostpunk and Pathfinder from the comments I've read

Frostpunk is one of my favorite games of the past couple of years if you need more selling.
