Humble Summer Adventure Games Bundle Includes Full Walking Dead Series

Posted by | News, PC | No Comments

The latest Humble Bundle, Humble Summer Adventure Games Bundle, features several Telltale Adventure games, including all four full seasons (and two mini-seasons) of The Walking Dead adventure games.

Pay just $1 to unlock the following games:

  • The Walking Dead – Season 1
  • The Walking Dead: 400 Days
  • Batman: The Enemy Within
  • Oxenfree (plus soundtrack)

By paying more than the average donation (currently $8.12), you can also unlock these games:

  • The Walking Dead – Season 2
  • The Walking Dead: Michonne
  • The Wolf Among Us
  • Batman – The Enemy Within: Shadows Mode

Pay $15 or more to unlock everything, including:

  • Batman – The Telltale Series (plus Shadows Mode)
  • The Walking Dead: A New Frontier
  • The Walking Dead: The Final Season
  • Heaven’s Vault

All games provide a Steam code for the PC versions. The bundle is available for the next two weeks, ending July 21.

The associated charity is JDRF, a nonprofit focused on type 1 diabetes research. It’s a personal cause for Telltale founder Dan Connors, who has a son with T1D. Connors has a volunteer lead role with the Games2Give initiative, building a community of gamers and fundraisers for T1D.

“Since COVID-19 has all but shut down in-person fundraising, this bundle is critical in ensuring JDRF’s important work can continue,” said Connors. “I’m grateful to Skybound and to the new owners of Telltale for bringing The Walking Dead, The Wolf Among Us, and Batman together again, as well as to Night School Studio and Inkle for offering their brilliant games in support of JDRF. And to everyone who pitches in to help fund the research that will someday allow my son and millions of others to live free of the burden of type 1 diabetes, thank you!”

JDRF will feature multiple twitch streamers showcasing games from the bundle on their official twitch channel, August 7-16. JDRF’s first fundraising event took place last November and raised $37k for T1D research.

Posted by | News, PC | No Comments

The game industry has responded with dozens of messages of support and cries for equality following the now global Black Lives Matter protests over racial justice.

This week Humble is offering a Fight for Racial Justice bundle, including over 50 games and ebooks worth over $1,200, for $30.

The bundle features an incredible collection of games spread across every genre, including BioShock Remastered, Neo Cab, This War of Mine, FTL, Spelunky, Kerbal Space Program, Hyper Light Drifter, Jackbox Party Pack 4, Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing, and NBA 2K20.

Purchasing the games provides a Steam key on PC. A few of the games are also available in DRM-free versions. Comics are available in CBZ, PDF, and ePub file formats, while books are in PDF, MOBI and ePub, and work on PC, e-readers, tablets, and phones.

The included digital comics and ebooks focus on products by black creators and on promoting racial equality, such as Twelve Years a Slave, Decolonizing Wealth, and Baclk women in Science: A Black History Book for Kids. Also, somewhat randomly, the Starfinder tabletop RPG Core Rulebook.

Similar to Humble’s COVID-19 bundle, every game and ebook is featured in a single tier at $30, though you can choose to pay more. One hundred percent of the proceeds goes to the following charities: the NAACP Legal Defense Fund, Race Forward, and The Bail Project.

The Humble Fight for Racial Justice Bundle ends June 22.

Humble Cities: Skylines Bundle Features Over $100 of Content

Posted by | News, PC | No Comments

Humble is offering a fantastic deal for city managing fans with the Humble Cities: Skylines Bundle, available until July 8.

Cities: Skylines is everything a SimCity fan would want, and it’s available in the bundle for as little as $1. Like other Humble Bundles, you can choose to pay more to unlock more games (via Steam codes). In this case, the additional content adds a large amount of previously released DLC.

Pay at least $1:

  • Cities: Skylines
  • Deep Focus Radio DLC

Pay more than the average donation (currently $7.32) to also unlock:

  • Concerts DLC
  • High-Tech Buildings Creator Pack
  • Snowfall DLC
  • Natural Disasters DLC

Pay more than $10 to also unlock:

  • Mass Transit DLC
  • Green Cities DLC
  • Industries DLC
  • Campus DLC
  • Art Deco Content Creator Pack
  • European Suburbia Content Creator Pack

The newest DLC that released earlier this year, Sunset Harbor, is not included in the bundle.

The Content Creator Packs are smaller DLC that add new models and buildings, typically priced around $5. The others are larger additions that add new features and mechanics, such as Mass Transit’s new service hubs and scenarios and Campus’ school zones and educational policies. Each of the bigger DLCs are priced between $13 and $15.

As with all Humble Bundles, you can choose how much of your donation goes to the developers, how much to the chosen charity (Child’s Play, though you can choose your own from their database), and how much to Humble.

Cities: Skylines originally released in 2015 by Colossal Order and published by Paradox Interactive. It expertly filled the single player city building void left by the disappointing SimCity (2013), and has released numerous paid DLC and content updates in the years since.

Cities: Skylines is rate E for Everyone.

Slay the Spire Review

Posted by | PC, PlayStation 4, Reviews, Switch | No Comments

Available On: PC (Windows, Mac, Linux) , PlayStation 4, Switch

Card battlers are fashionably popular right now (see our review on the excellent SteamWorld Quest), and Slay the Spire checks just about every box for popular indie genres. Deck-building. Dungeon Crawling. Random Encounters. Roguelike. Even more than most in the genre, Slay the Spire is a purely mechanics-driven game, with very little storytelling. But those systems work beautifully together to create a memorable, deep, and easy-to-play experience that rivals many physical card games.
