The Humble Monthly Bundle

Humble original for the May bundle:

Gunmetal Arcadia Zero

That looks like a very well-realised CRT mode.

I've a nagging feeling some of those sprites and backdrops are a bit too close to NES games - I'm thinking Zelda 2 in particular - for my liking. It might just be that they're evoking the style too well rather than being rips, though.

A lot of Castlevania II going on here as well.

Not that that's a bad thing.

Really excited to see what else is in there tomorrow.

I have went from being meh about this to really enjoying it. Once I started trading selling duplicate keys and games that I just don't want to play this started becoming one of the best values in gaming. Typically I'm getting about $10 back in selling/trades and 3-4 games I want.

There's been a few months I made back more that the $12 I paid. I think I got more than $12 for both Ark and Alien Isolation.

I pre-bought this month bundle early, but canceled so I would not get charged for next month. Now it is asking me to buy this months bundle, though I already bought it and redeemed Mad Max already. Is that normal? I hope I get the rest of the games.

it should be fine, if not just contact support. Humble support has been great in the past.

do you still have "may 2016 humble monthly" in your purchases? if you have an issue, make sure you get in touch via their twitter support ninja. he's way faster than whoever responds to their emails.

Already own Crawl and Fran Bow. Galak-Z isn't DRM-free. Not a good bundle for me.

In for Rocket League next month though!

This isn't a good month, and I'll definitely be selling some of these (first time I've tried to hawk the keys).

I thought Crawl was awful. There's an interesting concept mired in a disastrous interface and game flow. It is the most non-party-party-game I've ever played. Way too confusing, way too long, way too divergent with how long a match takes, and the combat really isn't that good, and most of the starting monsters are lame and boring.

Galak-Z was one of the PSN games, recently, right? Looks dope, at least, but I guess I'll be selling this key as well.
 
I bought in just cause that was the cheapest I've seen Mad Max go for. Rest of the bundle was going to be gravy, but Crawl and Galak-Z were games on my wishlist and the other games look interesting as well. Worked out decently for me.

I'll stay on for at least one more month so I can complete the owning Rocket League trifecta. Why not?
 

Stop It

Perfectly able to grasp the inherent value of the fishing game.
Bundle up

Mad Max
Infinifactory
Crawl
Jumpjet Rex
FranBow
Galak-Z
Oddworld: New 'n' Tasty
1993 Space Marine
Gunmetal Arcadia Zero

Early buy-in is Rocket League!

Was about to cry because I already had Oddworld but realised I had it for the Xbox. So here comes the dilemma. Offer to trade it for something or just play it on PC? Hmm.

Aside from that, looks good.

I wasn't a big fan of Crawl either, but I only played it in ver 0.2 though.

First month I paid for the monthly: Mad Max, New 'n Tasty and and Galak-Z. I'm really, really happy with my purchase :D

Damn. Should have trusted my gut and passed. Anyways, if anyone didn't get this bundle but is interested in some of the games, I'm selling the following.

Edit: Gone.

Fuck me. I bought New' n ' Tasty last week for the Vita but I'm still happy as it has been on my wishlist for awhile.

Is anyone still getting the buy early price on the monthly bundles? Before I was able to get them for $10 and change.

I've got too much of a cross platform hoarding mentality for that, and it'd be free from a paid subscription this way.

Hmm, I think the value this month is great. Most of the games haven't really been on sale, and are not available cheaply anywhere.

That said, I'm only really interested in like two or three of them...

Nice. Had Infinifactory high on my wishlist for a long time. JumpJet Rex and 1993 Space Marine look pretty interesting too. Best bundle for me yet.

Don't know if I should jump in for next month. Have Rocket League on PS4 but owning it on PC would be cool too.

A few of the games look interesting but overall I'm not too excited about most of these. Still, I got Mad Max for $12 so I can't complain.

Oh wow! Great bundle, JumpJet Rex has been high o my wishlist for quite a while, and I've been keeping an eye on at least 4 of the other games.

No disappointments for me!

I have no interest in Rocket League though...

Another great month. Not sure if I'll actually find the time to play any of the games, lol, but so happy I was able to support them in this small way. In for next month, even though I already have Rocket League. Will pass it to a friend and stay hype for the smaller games.
 
Really really nice looking bundle. I almost didn't get this month after last month's disappointing entries (should have known last month's bundle was heavily front loaded). This month though.... This and overwatch really will have me set for the month.

I always regret for not subscribing to the bundle, but this time its worth it for just rocket league. After the dissapointment i missed the last sale i can see that it was fate!
 
Mad Max - me like
Infinifactory - seems like an interesting idea
Crawl - as above
Jumpjet Rex - meh
FranBow - me like
Galak-Z - meh
Oddworld: New 'n' Tasty - me like
1993 Space Marine - meh played these back in 1993
Gunmetal Arcadia Zero - looks like something I'd enjoy.

Not a bad month, not a great month but could have been a lot worse.

Once you go PC for Rocket League, you don't go back to PS4. The framerate and fidelity is loads better.

I have both PC and Xbox One versions and it's not a huge difference, tbh. I get some sluggishness when playing 4 on 4 or in the rain, but that's about it. Then again, I'm only playing at 1080p on PC. Also, my friends are on Xbox One, so that's where I play most of the time. I do solo queue on PC though because the matchmaking seems to give similar skill more often.
