No problem, K! And yeah, Kinglink had mentioned that the last review was the last of his really quick ones. These things just take up too much time especially in such a short time window. I imagine we'll still see it in the next day or two though at the latest!

I'd say Kinglink's and Shiro's reviews are quite different, Kinglink's reviews are usually deeper, (I feel that he aims for a "complete" review of each game) which take him lot of time. Kingkink also livestreams while playing the games. This said, I enjoy both your review videos equally, they are really complementary. You both put lot of time and efforts into it. Meanwhile some other reviewers release a "review" the same or following day, but they just read the game description on Steam (and use footages from trailers) or use ChatGPT, which, well you know...

@@gizmomogwai1041 Actually, we both do pretty much the same thing. Play an hour and tell you our thoughts. I think what really sets Kinglink apart (at least for me) is that he has experience in the game development industry as well having a lot more experience with the games we get. Whether that's from sheer fact of being alive longer than me, more time to play, or maybe just my own gut feeling. Either way, that's why I really appreciate his reviews and like to watch them after I finish my own to see how we differed in opinion or if we were on the same wavelength. And thank you for your kind words! I'm glad that people appreciate the work put in. It really does mean a lot!

Lol I liked this bundle. - Lego 2K Drive makes a nice steam deck racing game. - Stray Gods was on my wishlist because I love music and greek myth - I didn't own Risk of Rain 2 yet and a lot of people seem to praise it a lot.

Nice! Hope you enjoy those games. I had heard the same praise with Risk of Rain 2 and I think that's honestly why I felt a bit underwhelmed by it. Too much hype. Like I said in the video, I think it's a fun game. Definitely a solid addition to the bundle. Just...not amazing. At least for me. I'm not the biggest fans of rogue-lites to begin with though.

Miasma Chronicles takes a little while to get going, but it's a fantastic tactical RPG you'll find, apart from lore in the world which isn't exciting at all. Stray gods piques my interest the most, a unique game where 95% of the budget is in a fully orchestrated soundtrack. Would be a fun one off experience. i actually attended the orchestra debuting the soundtrack for this one but was yet to pick it up so happy to see it on Humble Bundle

Pity to hear that the world's lore isn't that great in Miasma. I could still see myself giving it another go. Definitely happy to see Stray Gods on Humble. Indie games that try something new like this are usually worth spotlighting even if it's just for the uniqueness of it in my opinion.

Nice! Yeah, the Lego game is certainly a surprise. Although, at the same time, I'm not sure why. I've felt that almost every Lego game I played was actually good. And I always say "surprisingly good" but it really shouldn't be surprising anymore haha. For some reason, I just assume Lego and random genre/license means it's a cash grab I guess.

Lego 2K Drive looks like a lot of fun. Out of curiosity I checked the reviews on Steam. The biggest negative was that the microtransactions are incredibly predatory, especially for a game targeted towards children.

I'll be honest, when I saw the lineup for this month, I thought it was going to be the worst month ever. Empyrion, I went from ugh, to maybe giving it a try. Was originally ignored, lol. Babel I was conquered quite fast, 2D and puzzly adventure, it's just a cheat code to make me like it. Stray Gods is crazy. It's so crazy I had it in my wishlist, so it'll be interesting to see how it goes to play. Miasma seemed fine, I like tactical so yeah. 40K Battlesector, well, I like tactical so yeah. Lego 2K Drive... it's the opposite, I'm allergic to driving game, it's pretty silly, I just can't stand it. Knights 2... same story, grand strategy is brain killing when I try to play it, I just can't enjoy it. Finally, Risk of Rain 2, I was somewhat mixed, but it was still in my wishlist, and seeing some gameplay warmed me up more to it. So, in the end it's another month with 2 wishlist, 2 skip, fairly usual wouldn't you say? For now I'll go back to playing Reus 2. Heh...

Seems like a pretty uninteresting month at first glance, but after watching the video a few games did show some promises to me. For example the Lego game that seem to have interesting gameplay, unfortunately if I understand well it's a microtransaction hell and I despise that more than anything, I'm not dropping a salary for a video game. Stray Gods seem to have some charm and could be right my alley as well, it's probably the game that sound the most interesting to me there, but I might not pick a bundle only for that one. As for the rest I have either a mild interest in them (Miasma chronicle / Knights of honor 2 / Warhammer 40k) or it simply seem too far away from what I'd play in the upcoming years (Empyrion / Guidebook to Babel) and I already own RoR2 so.. Well overall thats a skip from me, if you end up making a review on Stray Gods I'll be sure to watch it.

Yeah, I heard from another commenter that Lego 2K Drive has a ton of microtransactions. Are these paywalls or only cosmetics? If it is a paywall to content...well, that's pretty crappy. If it's only cosmetics...that depends but it is a bit more forgivable if they don't go overboard with it (although Lego 2K Drive is a game with a price tag...). Definitely understand the reluctance to get the bundle though. As always, thanks for sharing your thoughts, man!

definitely underwarming bundle. I unlocked it mostly for RoR2, and after trying it I'm a little disappointed. The visuals, the music, the objectives and gameplay are not great. in the same genre, I'd rather play Hades, Gunfire Reborn or Roboquest. on the other hand Stray Gods seems like a game I will enjoy. Hopefully next month will be better

From what I hear, I'd put 2kdrive down to weak... I'm sure it's fun but I hear it's very pay 2 win/ play so I believe much of what I'd like in the game can be found in a demo-sized chunk. I wouldn't pay much for a game like that (I could be wrong ofc but impressions have to be based on hearsay- and I'm not much of a racer fan). Jury's still out on Miasma for me though. Might just be a skip. Feels like by the time I get to these games I could easily buy them for 12 bucks anyway so... I just have a GIGANTIC backlog so I unfortunately, take that into account when looking at these bundles :/.

Nah, that makes sense. There's got to be something (or multiple somethings) that is really special to merit a bundle purchase. Otherwise, the library has a hundreds of other games to choose from (literally in my case lol...). And yeah, I've heard the same with 2K Drive which that's unfortunate. I guess I'd probably just play it with my daughter and when we start hitting pay walls...well, time to uninstall and move on to something else.

Strong disagree. This is the best bundle i've seen in at at least since 2022. But then, (most) AAA games bore me, so the lack of them as the headliners is refreshing to my tastes. And this is why I rarely do Humble any more. Back before the takeover, Humble Monthly was populated by a lot more experimental stuff, rarely touching AAA. And now it's more towards highlighting old AAA. I was incredibly excited for this. Sadly, other that a couple games on the best of all time list (that you don't agree with), it's still a bunch of lackluster stuff. But it is worth it just for those two!
