• They did get people to vote what people want in these bundles. I guess most people voted for more AAA games. I preferred the older way they do things, where we get 1 AAA level game, and the rest are indie games or those from smaller studios. I found some great gems through the old Humble Monthly.

    It’s a shame what ended up happening with TemTem. The game just doesn’t respect your time at all once you’re done with the campaign, there is a crazy amount of grind for no real reward. I thought they were going to take the Pokemon formula and fix the problems with it, instead they mostly compounded them.

    Visually the game is great, and I really like the monsters. I do think it’s worth the price of the bundle for the campaign alone, just know it goes downhill after. They really want to push this as an MMO and live-service type game with a battlepass, despite the lack of social features and their insistence that no new monsters or islands will be added.

      Agreed. I was absolutely hooked on how the game seemed to alter every annoying aspect of Pokémon. Finished the game solo and then co-op with my gf. Everything was enjoyable at the time, but then the feathers started to run dry and I could no longer do the things I enjoy. What killed the game for me was the egotistical lead dev and the inability to listen to what players wanted.

      Outer Worlds and Roadwarden make the bundle worth the price imo. You’d be getting the others along with them.

        Oh yeah, I remember reading about some issues regarding the way the devs talked about the community, but I don’t remember the specifics.

        The chess game looks funny and kinda interesting too, I wouldn’t mind checking that out.
