Meh to this and next month's bundle.

Mah. Glad I cancelled, although if you haven't already got or played The Witness then you're in for a big treat.
Already owned the Witness. Bullet dodged! I will buy slime-san at later sale separately.

Didn't buy this bundle but i'm interested in Black Mesa and Kingdom if anyone has them to trade.
It's Half-Life 1

I really want Black Mesa but that would have been the only game from this bundle that I wanted and I'll eventually pick it up on sale. Glad I skipped this month!

A remake of Half-Life that started as a mod and then was put on sale after Valve approved it. It's good but not yet finished. They still haven't added Xen.
I've Black Mesa for trade -- let's talk.

Worst month so far. But I haven't installed The Witness yet.
the only one I didn't own that is on my wishlist is event[0]. black mesa could be fun as well though.
overall not a great bundle, but only because the freedom bundle came out before which took out the witness as a solid inclusion. if it wasn't for that it would have been a great bundle as it would have been worth $11 for the witness alone.

I've never beaten Half Life 1. Is that a gigantic portion of the game missing? I've always meant to go back and check it out, but have never really made the effort to. Would this be a better way to experience HL1 than HL: Source or whatever that was?

D'oh! A bit let down, don't know why I subscribed. Ah yes, to play The Witness, which turns out is a masterpiece. As an Xbox GWG subscriber I find the Humble Monthly worthless. Ah well. I even skipped Layers of Fear as a freebie last month with GWG, didn't even bother with "buying" it. Tumblestone was already free with GWG to mediocre reviews. I see there's a Steam Early Access game, I've never been interested in unfinished betas. Black Mesa is a fan made game. And there's a pixel game. (Not that I'm anti-pixel, love 'em, but still.) My own fault I guess for having two subscriptions. Giving some to charity at least makes up for it.

You can have mine if you like?

Wrong about commas, wrong about everything
Glad I cancelled, already have Witness and BM and the rest doesn't interest me
The last part of the game is missing for now. It's not a gigantic portion, probably 1 hour at most. But it's a very special environment so it takes them longer to finish that.
I think Black Mesa is a great game, it's not a 1:1 remake though. It's pretty faithful but not exactly the same.

Wish that I hadn't already grabbed Black Mesa in a Steam sale, it's been completely untouched. Still a good month for me, Event[0] was on my wishlist.

Damn good month. I own none of them.
Cool. I might check it out then. I've played Half Life 2 several times, but I've seen almost literally nothing of the first title.

Actually a pretty decent bundle, even after you factor out The Witness (due to the Freedom Bundle). Most of those games I'm at least curious about, so I'm pretty happy with my net seven dollar purchase.
Definitely sticking around for Dirt Rally and Inside though. Both for $12 is an insane deal.

. But wasn't sure about the rest of the bundle, i usually don't care about most of the games.I actually find the first one to be significantly superior. If you like it then check out Opposing Force and Blue Shift as well.

Inside's historical low was 8.99 GBP and Dirt Rally's was 10.74 GBP which comes to 24.43 USD. Quite a good deal in my opinion.

I've you've never played HL1, you'd be better off playing HL1 for the first time. Black Mesa is similar in terms of story, but the overall experience is still entirely different. It's their own take on Half Life rather than a completely faithful recreation just with updated graphics or something like that.
This is probably the worst bundle yet. Two previous Xbox live gold games (one from almost a year ago), and one that was in a Bundle a month ago.
Next months unlocks look pretty bad too. Inside is good, but already played it. And Dirt Rally came out like 18 months ago by the time this bundle drops.

Trading all of these (except Event 0 and The Witness) and also everything from last month's (except Warhammer). PM if interested.
Definitely the weakest month so far for me. I already played the Witness on PS4 on launch (so I gave that key to my brother), and for the last 4 months I've had at least 2 of the other games on my wishlist, I had none this month. I dabbled in Tumblestone when it was free on Xbone, and if it was on my phone I'd probably play it when I was waiting at a doctor's appointment. A friend had Layers of Fear on her wishlist, so she got that key.
Black Mesa looks promising because I've never really played any of the Half Life games. Seems like a good place to jump in. I'll give Event 0 a shot as well, that hadn't hit my radar before today.
I'll probably still sub next month even though I've already beaten Inside. Dirt Rally could be fun, and I have a few friends that want Inside so I can just give one of them that. And I'm hoping the hidden games come through again.

Anyone looking to dump event[0] lemme know.
Also, as usual, dumping my referral link here. Thanks in advance!

March was pretty good in my opinion.

Definitely slowing down however The Witness is well worth the $12 or whatever the bundle costs. Actually its well worth $30 so if you want the Witness the bundle is great.
