Thanks to the steam deck I finally started purchasing games after sailing the seas if you know what I mean. It’s pretty great but unsustainable for me. I heard of humblebundle from another SD subreddit but looking at it, all the games seem. . .for lack of a better word, mid. Maybe I just don’t know enough about it

    They absolutely can be but for example a hello kitty bundle wouldnt be worth it. All about your tastes and if theyve got a good bundle for you

    I’ve had Humble for too many years to count. Usually, there are only 1 or 2 games that are actually good and worth playing IMO every month but I love how you can preview what each month has and you can decide to skip said month. I think its worth

    Post was removed for mentioning the p word but For context I mostly only play “mainstream” games such as RDR2, BFV, GTAV, BG3, Cyberpunk, Spiderman and switch games. I don’t usually like games like, say Hades, DaveTheDiver or persona 5 (despite their success and strong followings, no hate, I’m just not a hardcore gamer)

    I tend to pause my subscription for more months than not lately.

    I still like the service though. I like a lot of indie titles and I’ve played some gems thanks to Humble monthly. I do think the quality of titles on average has declined over the last 2 years or so though.

    Bundles are, aside from giveaways, objectively the best value deals in gaming.

    However, it depends on if the games are actually of any interest to you. I’d rather spend £10 on one game in a Steam sale that I know I’ll play than £10 on a bundle of games I never will.

    Of course, you’re not going to get the newest AAA releases in a bundle, but you can definitely get some great games here and there.

    If you’re low on money but looking to build up your library, then you should:

    1. Check humble bundle and Fanatical frequently to see if they have anything that interests you. Sure, most of the stuff they have is going to be mid, but every now and again, they have something great.

    2. Keep an eye out for sales. Look at isthereanydeal.com to see if there are any good deals.

    3. Make an Epic account and grab the free game every week. As well as Amazon Prime, if you’re a Prime subscriber.

    4. Look into f2p options. There are some great games that play great on the Deck: Genshin Impact, Warframe, Path of Exile, Rocket League, Asphalt.

    Humble bundle is good but I personally prefer fanatical cause I can build my own bundle.

    There are a few sites that track sales on all games, which can usually be better if you like bigger AAA titles.

    Humble usually seems to be bundles of 1 semi-interesting indie game paired with others you usually wouldn’t play or buy. It’s OK if you initially just want a cheap way to get a lot of games on your deck, and you don’t are what those games are; just time killers.

    For indie developers it’s probably a good way to get their games sales which folks wouldn’t otherwise get much sales.

    I think I only ever used Humble when I saw a particular game I wanted on sale there via the deal tracking sites.

    It’s only worth it if you see some games that interest you but overall, I tend not to buy a lot from them since not every bundle is great. Sometimes, they give out good games but it all depends on what you’re into at the moment.
