One of the VERY few months that contains more than one game from ky wishlist (Callisto and Fashion Police). Though I'm not a fan strategy games like Vic3 or Humankind, this is definitely a great bundle imo. Thanks again for your consistently awesome reviews!
I've invested over 55 hours into Symphony of War so far, making this a great month. Additionally, it's been a month where four games from my wish-list have been acquired, which is incredible.
Same for me. I wish HB had an option to pick what want and get a discount if we only pick one game, and the $1 tier and pay what we want bundles. I find myself spending less on HB after IGN takeover. They even stopped given discount incentives to to not skip a month.
Oof, I knew I forgot something, will update with the times now. (I actually use those myself, it's great when I'm coming back and just want to remember my opinion on a specific titles). updated now.
Easy skip for me. I struggle to get into these menu driven games with massive tutorials acting as a barrier to entry. Every once and a while I'll give one a shot and they rarely win me over. The last one I got into was Civ 5 so its been a while. I am very much interested in Symphony of War because I've never played a Fire Emblem game and don't have a Nintendo console so that's a strong alternative. Its not enough to justify buying the bundle though. The bottom line is that they should have spread these games across several months rather than cram them into a single bundle.
Completely agree, the idea of "Themed months" feels wrong for a monthly service. It's great for the bundles themselves, but Choice should be more of a sampler.
Same, both skip and the reasons why. Especially it seems most of the games is inspired by another game, not a bad thing though. Fashion Police is the only one that stands out (ironic). But I already heard the cute joke, but not a fan of fashion in general to justify the package. Also agree, HB should have spread the games into different months. Though I do have my eye on the VR bundle that is out right now. So it's not a total loss for this month.
It would be the first not skipped month for a while now for me, but I'm a strategy games enjoyer so I like that we finally got not only one but two strategy games headliners.
Would you believe it! No deck builder or roguelike this time. Anyway, strangely the best month I ever had so far, with 5 wishlist, and the other ones seem interesting to play enough. While there's no high want to play game, they're all quite solid.
I did notice there was a lot of strategy and tactics game in the bundle. I was wondering if you were going to comment on it until you did. But I tend to like this kind of game (except for Victoria 3, which I have no interest in), so I'm fine with them, especially Symphony of War, since I love the Fire Emblem series. That being said, I'd be upset if there were so many similar games in a Choice bundle if I didn't like the genre. A couple of the other games (Coromon and Fashion Police Squad) are on my wishlist, but I don't care about either of the headliners. I love Dead Space, but from what I've seen about Callisto Protocol I'm not sold on it. I'm still on the fence, but I'll probably end up getting the bundle.
Wow, you were really generous with the bundle this month! I do agree though, it was a really good month. On the note of Humankind, did you get any substantial time playing with the Together We Rule pack? Wondering what your thoughts were on the changes if so. Great review!
If I didn't have Koromon and Symphony of War, I would go for it. Calisto Protocol and Humankind seem to have issues although some half of players like them.
Woah, I wasn't expecting the review to be this glowing. I'm not sure if I'm as positive on this month, though I prefer action/narrative focused games to sandbox strategy games. Thanks for the review.
Yeah with those genres as your favorite this would lose a lot of luster, leaving pretty much Excavation of Hob's Barrow. Normally that's what I latch onto but I still have a huge passion for the strategy genre.
I’m trying to weigh up if symphony is worth the cost of the bundle I’m currently unsubed to the bundle so I’ve got a month to come to a conclusion, it max discount according to steamDB is slightly more than the cost of the bundle so it’s a saving but I don’t know if the rest of the games are enough to push me to a yes.
Thank you for the review. Good as always. One thing though, Calliston Protocol was released Dec 2022, so that makes it 1 year and 4 months old :)
Argh, I should have taken a second look, There's so many games I can't even remember when big games come out any more.
Thanks for correcting that.
Thank you for your reviews, I watch this every month
Glad you enjoy them. There's a lot of work, but the feedback on these videos keeps me going.
Thanks for taking one for the team every month. These videos are useful.
I actually love the chance to experience all the games, but I'm glad others like my reviews of them.
I would pass if i should buy with full price. But, if they drop $6-8 coupon, i might buy this bundle.

I find that every time I buy those kind of games, I end up never playing them due to lack of time and energy.
I was waiting for your video, thanks !
Thanks mate, I haven't picked a month this year and seems this will be the one I come back.

Definite pass for me always looking forward to your videos.

Had victoria 3 and humankind on wishlist🎉🎉🎉. This bundle is really good for me
Thanks for the vid, as always, I miss a bit the timestamps and the names of the games in the description, but it's not a major breaking point.

You're right, that's actually pretty strange. Oh well next month all Rogue-lite Deck builders because they know we missed it.
Can't wait for it!@@Kinglink

Honestly, I'd prefer weaker headliners with a strong undercard every month. Quite pleased with this bundle. Thanks for your review.
I'd agree with that, but it feels like the fanbase really looks only the headliners. Their loss.
thanks bud!
This bundle made my year.....for my I don't think HB will do better for the rest of 2024. Great video thanks.

And subbed!

One of the worst months for someone who likes jRPGs and Metroidvanias, though...

I snatched it, nice variety of games :)
💯
I bought the boomer shooter bundle instead 😋
It's a pass or maybe with coupon month for me
Coupon? Since when do coupons exist?
@@MJ-xl5jz Unless a bundle sells really well, humble tends to offer a coupon around the end of the month. It just shows up in your account
You talk too fast, it’s hard to keep up with what you’re saying
“A joke that’s great the first time but you’ve probably heard it the second time.”
Redundant statement. Review ruined
