12 games to pick from again so once again you can not have all of them.

As with previous months if you were grandfathered into the Classic plan you may pick 10 games. There are 12 games this month so you can't have all of them

Nothing at all for me this month. I think the games have got less interesting since they upped the price, for my tastes at least.

This might be a weird complaint but I still think it's a little odd that you can't ever get the full pack. Really hits me with the idea that whatever I get will leave me disappointed I couldn't get the others, and makes me want to unsubscribe.

I might do this one for Okami, Night Call and um, something else. Frost Punk? I already own Project Warlock, unforunately.

"You get to pick 10 games!"

"Well, I only really want Okami. I guess you can keep the rest."

Eliza has been on my wishlist for months, and this about beats the cheapest price. That alone gets me in. Somehow I don't already have Okami and Frostpunk either. Gotta look into the rest to figure out whicn two to pass on.

So $12.00 for Okami HD...not bad lol.
I really don't care about the rest, might just donate them

I dont get the "you can't have all the games" complaint. You would prefer to only have 10 choices so it doesnt feel bad to leave out 2 games?

Shenzen I/O is fantastic. Frostpunk is great. Heard the Pathfinder game got better after some updates. Decent month.

A couple Gems there but EGS free games and GamePass have really upped the expectations. As well as Humble owns big months with those Activision games.

Shenzhen I/O has been on my radar for a while, though like all Zachtronics games I assume I will never be able to finish it because I am not smart enough. TIS-100 did not go well for me despite actually KNOWING Assembly at one point in my life.

Frostpunk seems cool but I put that in the same category as This War of Mine: a game that will force me to make hard decisions and feel bad about them. Not a bad thing but something I need to be in the right mood for.

Dunno about anything else besides Okami HD, which I would be willing to pick up on yet another platform (because realistically I'm not going to play my PS3 version at this point).

Easy pause. I would take Okami for PC but none of the others interests me at all so it's not worth $12 and I already have Okami on PS3 from when it was a PS+ game.

I already own Okami, nothing else is interesting for me so I'll pause this month.

Uh, Pathfinder is pretty big. I was close to getting it the last few sales. Same with some of the other choices. I was considering many around launch. Especially Eliza the VN from the Zachtronics team. And even though I have Frostpunk, I don't have any of the DLC.

That's a great bundle, thinking of un-pausing even though I actually own 4 of those already.

Was November the one with Soul Calibur 6 and Yakuza Kiwami? Cause that's the reason I got Humble Choice, but I've been every month since.

The only reason why I am even bothering to subscribe to these bundles is because to get games I wouldn't otherwise get standalone and mainly because they are indie - so far this works for me so no complaints

The only two games I have in this set is The Hex (which I guess I got from a bundle) and Okami which was available on another older humble bundle long time ago.

Everything else I don't have and was low priority on my wishlist so no complaints here - on classic and getting all 10

Frost Punk is an incredible game. It's well worth picking up, especially at this price.
Yeah? It's always been something I like, got a glance of but never really had a genuine interest in. Might pick it up in that case.

Night Call I was always interested in and I never finished Okami on Wii but I super enjoyed what I played of it.

Blows my mind how people are saying there's been nothing interesting for them. Despite not regularly being subscribed to Humble Monthly before, I've picked up both the last two Humble Choices and am gonna get this one too. Already own Okami and the Hex so those will be the ones I pass on.

Okami is obviously the standout pick if you don't own it, but even if you do The Hex is just a great deconstruction and commentary on video game development (yes, really, it's almost like The Beginner's Guide if it was more of an actual game). Shenzhen I/O is another excellent Zachtronics puzzle-programmer, and I hear good things about Frostpunk. I've been interested in Kingmaker and Eliza too so this is a nice chance to pick those up. Need to look into the other games but between Frostpunk, Kingmaker, Eliza, and Shenzhen that's enough to get me to want this.

Wow, I've never heard of any of these games. I was pretty happy with the last few months. Hopefully I can break even on the cost for this month or maybe I will just pause this month.

Kingmaker is BG2 killer, Frostpunk is a great atmospheric strategy, Okami is a classic. What's not to like?

That's a pretty strong month. Kingmaker, Eliza, Shenzhen, Frostpunk and Okami. I'm surprised by the complaints in the thread.

Hmm ok so this one I'm not sure.
I'm currently paused, what I'm getting from some comments here is that I can pause non stop, is that right? Although Okami looks like a good one.

I don't really get complaints, at least not if you're grandfathered in at the $12 tier. Easy enough to sell games you don't want and keep what you do for a pittance

Okami is honestly like 4th or 5th on this list for me. I'm surprised so many people are saying it's the only game they would pick.
