Humble Choice - March 2020
Planet Coaster, Battle Chasers: Nightwar, My Friend Pedro and more games are featured in the newest Humble Choice!
gg.deals
I am thinking about Fell Seal and Exapunks.
Pedro is great fun, but I have finished it after I received it for free during the Dorritto awards.
I have tried Battle Chasers on PC Game Pass if I recall right, and it was boring!
Etherborn, Turok and maybe Battle Chasers are the only ones I really want. Not too bummed about missing this month
man why is it so hard to see what the month is! Humble choice has the worst layout ever. I spent 5 minutes trying to see what the month's games are.
Ultimately a pretty nice bundle.
I care about none of the "Highlights" but I think there's enough I want in the remaining games that I'll pick it up.
Definitely want Exapunks and Death's Gambit and Fell Seal - those 3 alone are basically worth the 12 bucks, lol
198X is on my wishlist
Battlechasers is also something I could see myself check out as well as Niffelheim.
Etherborn looks neat too.

Easy buy for me. Almost bought F1 during the last sale and I have Pedro and Exapunks on my wishlist.
Hmh it doens't work for me to pay, it was stuck on "charging" so I reloaded the page and now I get an error saying payment already in process.
I just deleted 'Yes, your grace' from my wishlist.
So prepare for a Mike Rose tweet about the apocalyptic doom of steam algorithm of death to little people, in 5 minutes top.

That's part of the point, after seeing two reviews whining about the difficulty of the sim, I just realized that I was in for the cute day to day vibe. Nothing against a good sim, far from it, but here that makes me less interested.
Oh btw, is Planet Coaster a good management game or is it just mostly interesting for the sandbox ?
Same for Planet Zoo.
I'm not an expert as I've only played ~7 hours. I'm more interested in the management side of things and I found it utterly boring; the creative side of things is fantastic though. It's the reason why I have no intention of buying Planet Zoo, despite how lovely it looks.
I have to say, pretty excited to try out 198x, it's made by veteran swedish games journalists, they were involved with the biggest games magazines through out the years.
I can try out some of the jokes I've been working on
With the sheer amount of content on Steam, I'm surprised how much trouble I'm having finding a niche game to play for the weekend.
For some reason I got it stuck in my head that I'm in the mood for a modern Playstation 1-style first-person adventure/rpg. Something where I can chill, walk around and explore at my own pace with 90s-era Playstation 1 style graphics. But not party/grid based like Wizardry. More sandbox/exploration like Elder Scrolls.
Now there's a TON of FPS & Horror games that fit the bill. Dusk, Devil Daggers, Delver, Project Warlock, Teleglitch, Lost in Vivo, Helltown, Concluse, Paratopic, etc.
But boy am I having trouble nailing down something with the same lo-fi aesthetic but more chill and laid back.
There's some walking sims I already own like Eidolon and Proteus but they seem kinda aimless. I'm on the lookout for something with more direction.
I also own Diaries of a Spaceport Janitor, but I've tried and failed a couple times to get into that one. Not sure why, but it just never stuck.
Funny thing is the closest I've come so far is Frontiers, which is EXACTLY what I'm looking for, but it's mechanically busted to hell and back and never got fixed.
So strange that I'm coming up completely short.

The way I understand it, Planet Coaster excels in the design tools of building rides. Looks awesome too. But if you want more tycoon/management hooks, your looking at Parkitect, which has that in spades.
I think Planet Zoo beefed up on the management side of things, but I'm not sure how much.
Not a RPG per say but its a pretty fun chill first person adventure game.
I like this month's humble choice, most of the games are on my wishlist. I'll take it!
Like Li Kao mentioned you're more than welcome to ask in the co-op thread if you're ever looking for some more crew mates. We would love to have you pop in there from time to time even if only to share how sailing the seas is going with others.
And organizing something around Sea of Thieves is a great idea. I've played a decent amount with a couple folks from the forum and I can say it's really great for hilarious moments and making some memories.
Two quick examples are PvP related. Both times I was playing with dummmyy and one night we were returning to an outpost to turn in the loot we had when another ship fired upon us and we both agreed we had no chance against the larger ship. We abandoned ours and while dummmyy kept them busy on the island I snuck on to their ship, raised the anchor to let it start drifting and started throwing their chests into the ocean.
The other time was a lost fight at sea but we only had one piece of loot that time and a map we were trying to complete. We had just dropped anchor at an island when I caught a glimpse of a ship that had been pursuing us earlier and thought we lost them. They were still a ways off but there wasn't enough time for us to raise anchor and leave so instead we hatched a plan that I would take the loot and hide on the island hoping they wouldn't see it happen and dummmyy would start sailing away as if we had just finished. The other ship took the bait. I watched them search our wreckage and get nothing and sail away. dummmyy then took a slightly longer route back, picked me and the loot up and we then dug up the rest of the treasure on the island.
So if folks are ever interested in getting something going let me know in the co-op thread or on our Discord and I'll do what I can to help out.
What's sort of funny is how Planet Coaster, is much more of a sandbox game with some management aspects to them (I wish that you could control more stuff) and then they made the Jurassic World game, and you wish that was more of a sandbox game (design your own Jurassic Park) but in fact it's more of a management type game (maybe a little two much). I have not played the Planet Zoo game but I would hope that they were able to strike a balance between the two and have it where the sandbox stuff gives you a lot of freedom while also having to stay on top of things and being able to control different money aspects of your park/staff.
I'd love to hear from you if you find one. Sounds like the kind of thing I could very much be into.
i think Nabs should post all the stuff his last moht purchased ... the day before Hubmle Choice reveals itself ... so we have some teases whats in
oooh new weird game is coming
made by the creator of highly cultural animated pardodies from 8 years ago

Played both and I like Parkitect more, but it just cames down to what people want more.
Sounds great! My hype for SoT never died down so I'm dying to give it a go.Like Li Kao mentioned you're more than welcome to ask in the co-op thread if you're ever looking for some more crew mates.

No, Ive not. I should, though. But right now it doesnt feel like I'm really missing out. This month is another "meh" for me.
Yup.
to give you all an idea:
My Friend Pedro: tried it via Gamepass, didnt really enjoy it
Planet Coaster: own it (but also not super into it...I'd probably still rather play the original RCT)
F1 2019: not into racing games (unless theyre just easy arcady stuff like Ignition)
Fell Seal: turn based, tactical...not my thing at all
Battle Chasers: turn based combat...nope
Exa Punks: doesnt look interesting to me
Turok: not really interested in it.
Deaths Gambit: I'm not into super challenging platformer or Souls-like games (even though I really love Dead Cells)... but it might be interesting. however, its on Gamepass if I wanna try it.
198X: looks like a bit of fun, but also a bit ...meh
Niffelheim: doesnt look interesting to me
AI War 2: Strategy, Space, Simulation, RTS, Sci-fi: all those are tags that I might as well filter out of the store altogether. Not my thing.
Etherborn: that I have on my wishlist, since I like puzzle games. But its not a very high priority to get, at all
over the years, my taste in games narrowed a LOT... but its good to be sure about what kind of games I enjoy and what I dont like. Unfortunately for me, the games industry, including the indie space, makes way more games I dont enjoy than those that I do.
I'm not going to lie, I was a lil worried that Voxelgram would be in it after I bought it for full price.i think Nabs should post all the stuff his last moht purchased ... the day before Hubmle Choice reveals itself ... so we have some teases whats in

Update: the keys are all gone now - if you missed all three batches, follow us on Twitter and get on our mailing list, we'll announce any future tests in both places. Or if you just want to be told when the game's out, wishlist it! Original post: We're about to start our first ever test of...
Free stuff:
I think I'm pretty much always getting choice for the +1. Think the only game from those that I've actually played was Shadow of the Tomb Raider.
I'm loving The Witcher 3 so far, but how can the combat be this terrible.
i guess this is absolutely dead if they are suing and contrasuing each other now
Like I used to be the dudebro who was all AAAs or bust , never really trying anything outside of the big names, then came the era beingly absolutely obssesive (like playing eversingle game of its type i coudl find) about certain genres each for couple months ,
Then I came back to playing only AAAs until i got absolutely fed up with whats so prevalent AAAs back then and some of is even more these days to the point of compeltely stopping playing games for few months as everything felt soo same and boring. I came back to gaming after certain bad life event but as i was still annoyied by AAA production ,i went experimenting and trying things i would never look at before and started actually enjoying gaming again. So i went wild of niches of every kind and it kinda stayed with me till now and insanely broaden my horizons .. and unlimatel these days i can even play and have fun with AAAs that were like poison to be just few years ago.
heh , funny i have it absolutely the other way , that over the years my tasted widened a whole LOT

Free DLC now live and the base game is half off.
I've tried playing Pathologic Classic HD, but this game is a bit too old-fashioned for my taste: terrible 3D graphics, ugly interface, huge blocks of text without voice acting. Uninstalled after half an hour.
Started playing The Hex instead. This must be one of the most hilarious games I've ever played.

I hate when good concept art transforms into generic crappy pixel art
