You have to choose between Steam and DRM-free for Tits. Check the top of the January page.

Edit: XCOM 2 FIXED.

If it hasn't already been said, Trails is a highly recommended play for fans of JRPGs from the 16-bit and 32-bit eras. And that first game is just an appetizer for the second, yet quite good on its own...

Play with Cheat Engine to speed it up, though.

Pretty good month. TitS and Jotun were on my wishlist. I didn't like TitS the first time I tried it on the PSP, but I'll give it another try. Neon Chrome looks promising, will try.

I feel like all the games are on the "will try" list this time, which is good.

I ended up buying this and...well, I have a couple of spare keys to trade/sell (already own them on Steam) but would like to know if the games are region-locked. I remember hearing something last year about certain bundles being restricted now.

They are not region locked, at least this bundle isn't. BTW if one of your keys is for Trails in the Sky (Steam), I'm looking to buy.

They way humble monthly has been handling region blocking is by usually not even giving you the game.

OR you get one. Example South Park Stick of Truth. I live in Taiwan and I got the Aussie version.

This is my GOTY list, barring me starting and finishing Dragon's Dogma or Dark Souls 3 before the deadline (not happening). But on the off chance I do, I'm not submitting this until last minute.

1. Stardew Valley, it's digital crack. I spent 40 hours in one week just playing this game, and then stopped because I didn't know who I wanted to date lol.
2. SpeedRunners
3. ABZU
4. Dead by Daylight
5. Oxenfree

EA:
1. Faeria, it's a pretty fun card + board game. The meta is kind of odd though.

DLC:
1. The Last Breath Chapter in Dead by Daylight, which gave you the Nurse. She really got me hyped and scared when she came out. Her design's only second to the Hag (too bad the Hag is a shit killer). Michael Myers ain't a bad killer, but idk. The Nurse was something. She's not the most balanced thing in the world, but I really do like her.

Uh, you may have already noticed but this is the wrong thread for this post.

Quick question - if I change from month-to-month billing to a longer subscription, do I get billed for the full subscription price at my next billing date (e.g. $132 for a 12-month subscription)? My reading of the info on their site is that that's how it works, but it's not completely clear.

I think you just pay the $132 right when you sign up

I've not subscribed previously or given the scheme much attention. The recent reveal of XCOM2 however has resulted in it being shared around enough that I've clicked on through to see more.

Stardew Valley... SOMA... Rocket League... Dragon Dogma Dark Arisen... damn. The value of some of these months, even most of these months, looks fantastic and well exceeding the $12 entry fee.

Few questions;
  • Does everyone get the same 8 games shown, or is that an example of the best choices in a larger random pool (loot create like)?
  • If you already have a game, do you get the option to share the key with another?
  • Are they always Steam keys?
I already own XCOM2, and even then I'm thinking of signing up. Both Trails in the Sky and Jotun are in my Steam wishlist from last month.

You always get the same games. If games DO change then it'd probably be over regional issues, I.E. licensing or banning of titles.

If you have a game in your Humble library, you can redeem it or create a gift link to give away. People seem to either do Modbot or sell the spare codes in the BST thread

Just subscribed myself and do that with XCOM 2

And yeah, the quality of the games here is fantastic, for both the AAA/larger-budget games and the indie games

Great one! Only had one (Trails in the Sky) this time, and XCOM 2 is a fantastic early unlock. Humble Monthly is a great deterrent to jumping on PC sales throughout the month. So many good inclusions last year! I was a hater early on, but it's proven to be one of the best things.

You get everything listed. You get a key you can use for whatever you want, redeem or giveaway. 90% of them are Steam Keys, some of them also offer DRM free download options

For your last question (others are covered above), one of each month's games is a "Humble Original" and typically doesn't come with a Steam key; the others all should do, sometimes with a DRM-free download also available.

Awesome, thanks! Guess I'll be subscribing then, and hope that there's other delights since I already have XCOM2.

XCOM 2 alone is worth more than 12$, except now you get 6 extra games. It's a no-brainer really :)

They way I've always done it is that I've subbed for a month any time the main game is something which I would be happy to pay $12 for, and is something that I actually want to play now.
I would rather be disappointed that the mystery games were games that I would have played and missed out on, than buying a bundle where I don't want the main game in the hope that there might be something good and ending up disappointed.
Treat the other 7 games as a "free bonus" with the purchase of the main game and that should make the decision easier.

For example, I bought the Stardew Valley bundle and was pleasantly surprised to receive Rebel Galaxy, Styx, and Kathy Rain.
I bought the Dragon's Dogma bundle and am not too interested in the other games - but I'm not disappointed about it because I was happy to buy Dragon's Dogma for $12.
I was disappointed that I passed on the Mad Max bundle because I missed out on Infinifactory, Crawl, Galak-Z, and FranBow - especially because the public opinion on Mad Max seems to be very positive on the game now, compared to the critical reception it received at the time. But I'd prefer that to feeling like I wasted my money.

XCOM2 seems like an excellent deal, I just wish I didn't already own it.

Yeah, I guess I feel like Xcom 2 on its own is definitely worth the 12$. Should be buying it by the end of the month. Thanks!

I just saw the bundle w/ XCOM 2. I wanted the game and $12 seemed cheap. According to is there any deal, this is the cheapest it's been. So I think I am in for one month solely for the reveal title. I also have a 10% off coupon so it's only $10.80 for me.

I have listed the demos provided by Humble Monthly thus far:
  • December 2015: Shadwen
  • February 2016: Planetoid Pioneers
  • August 2016: Call of Duty: Black Ops III Multiplayer Starter Pack (not sure if it qualifies as a demo, but at least, it is only a part of the full game)
  • September 2016: The Uncertain: Episode 1: The Demo
  • October 2016: Fidel (I am uncertain about this one, it is a sneak peek, which might just be the equivalent of a demo, with the release of the full game this semester)
  • February 2017: Hollow Knight

STOP SHITTING ON MY MOTHER'S HEADSTONE
So I signed up for XCOM 2. Can I go ahead and cancel now to avoid being charged for the next month, or will that keep me from getting the other games in this month's bundle?

the FAQ page says "You can cancel your membership at any time, but you’ll need to cancel at least a week before new content unlocks to avoid paying for the next month."

I'm kind of confused

You're fine, canceling now will just prevent you from being billed for the next month - you won't lose out on any games released with the X-Com 2 bundle.

I do admit the whole process is kind of confusing.

You have until the last week of February to cancel without being charged for March. If you cancel now, you still get the month you paid for.

signed up for a whole year of this since i stopped buying the normal humble bundles. they seem to be saving all of the good stuff for the monthly thing nowadays.


there were a couple i missed last year that intrigued me, but XCOM 2 is what pushed me over.

It's good, but you have to be careful if you already own a lot of games. I already owned three games from the last bundle, so it is a little bit of a gamble. But for the price, it is still a great deal.

Oh Deer is the Humble Original. There is a trailer https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xO3gB-4Ovi8 looks like a pretty sweet Outrun style game. I was always interested but never had the chance to buy it on Vita. Hope it plays as good as it looks and sounds.

Sort of weird that the GamePump thing recently failed but Humble is quietly trying to do a similar thing succesfully.

The difference is that Humble is doing original content. A lot of GamePump's problems arose due to licensing snafus.
