One of the worst Humble Bundle months unfortunately.
Calisto just had DRM removed. I was hoping for Returnal
Last month was better but Victoria 3 is actually quite solid so I've heard.
As for Callisto - played on PS5 and it wasn't that enjoyable.
Definitely going to give this one a miss. Instead, I'd recommend just going for the 2023 Dead Space remake when on sale (or you can currently get it for around half price from key resellers if you're ok with that).
Could also just get a one month Gamepass sub for PC and play it - it's a short game, you can easily knock it out in a month.
Haha, yeah that too. I'm a busy dad, so I don't really get to smash out games like that anymore.
Ahhh - very fair.
I’ve never done humble bundle before. Just to confirm, if I become a member for 1 month, id get a steam key for The Callisto Protocol + 7 other games?
Yes. Redeem the keys, and then you can cancel if you want, games are added into your steam library.
I got the humble choice for last month, don't like this month's games(already own Calisto on pc/ps5) but instead of just straight way canceling I just skipped April(don't need to pay if i skip a month), if I don't like next month then i will gonna cancel it. BTW this subscription is called Humble Choice.Thank you
Callisto gets kinda mid reviews
It's decent enough, not amazing. I did finish it.
Yeah it's mindless fun….for the first half.
And then it becomes a drag and you just decide to play it out to the end, despite having some of the worst writing you've ever encountered. Without spoiling too much, I hope you like being with partners momentarily then falling into a lower area to make it back up to them, only to fall again into another new area, because if you don't you're not going to like the second half of the game.
And the final boss - you'll try a whole heap of ways to try to beat it. After failing a lot, you realise you were actually doing the best strategy there is, it's just a really broken boss and you're not getting the right RNG.
For many years it was called Humble Bundle they only recently changed it to Humble Choice, you used to choose 8 games out of a bundle of upto 12 games each month which was good if you already owned one or two of the games that month.
Now you don't have a "choice"
Now you choose all 8 games right?
Or am I missing something?The choice is being able to skip. Lots of subscription models don't let you skip.
Was originally called Humble Monthly. I was a subscriber from two months after launch until two months ago. Why yes, I do indeed have too many games, several of which I have played.

Humble Bundle is the name of the site and they still run the traditional bundles. You can "pay what you want" to unlock various tiers of the bundles, annoyingly a lot of their recent bundles don't have tiers anymore and you just have to pay a minimum to get the whole thing. These bundles are not included in the monthly subscription.
Humble Monthly was renamed to Humble Choice, it's the subscription based bundle where you are automatically given it monthly unless you cancel/pause your subscription.
Bit of a weak month for Humble Choice imo.
I played The Callisto Protocol on the Xbox when I got it for Christmas, I beaten it and was quite disappointed with it.
The Excavation of Hob's Barrow and Fashion Police Squad has my interest though.FPS is a mediocre boomer shooter at best, the idea is cool but the gameplay is more infuriating than fun
If you love Civilization so much that you've gotten sick of it, Humankind is pretty good. It's the same game but at the same time completely different. Took me a few try's to get it into it.
Humankind, Callisto and Victoria 3 are holding up on the grey (reseller) market pricewise, but the other 4 have taken a massive price nosedive. Most people (rightly or wrongly, I haven't played any of them) consider The Excavation of Hob's Barrow, Coromon, Nephilim Saga and Fashion Police Squad to be shovelware. Games with good graphics are usually more in demand than retro gfx Indie games.
Callisto is worth playing. That's about as much of a compliment that I can give it.
Worth just for Vic 3, really buying it so it'd be good a year from now though
Terraformers is a good game if you like its sort, not enough credit given to it in here
I would recommend The Excavation of Hob's Barrow
https://www.eurogamer.net/the-excavation-of-hobs-barrow-revi…Im possibly one of the ones that liked Callisto better than Dead Space Remake, I dunno, there was something that I found in Callisto that I was always going for more. I even bought the DLC which I rarely do for any game.
Callisto is a horrible game.
Fashion Police Squad is a great game. A fun inversion of the typical FPS formula where you shoot people to help them.
Actually, looking through the list overall it seems like Callisto Protocol is the dud of the bundle. The rest of them are highly regarded.
There is a reddit thread with all of the games including steam links and review scores here:
