Headliners are a bit meh this month:


Some of the lesser name stuff on the bottom looks kinda neat.

[Eric Cartman]

I like the look of Hot Brass, mostly because I have played the shit out of Door Kickers and Breach & Clear but yeeeeaaaaaaahhhhhh.... kind of a crappy month.

I was a bit whatyearisit.jpeg when I saw what the headliner is - it's not exactly a super timely pickup

[MMaRsu]

Another pause cause I just bought Disco Elysium in the last Steam Sale

I'm somewhat okay with this month even if I have the headliner.

The Forgotten City sounds somewhat interesting, had never even heard of it before.

Didn't Deceive Inc. just come out? Must have really tanked.

Really need them to stop giving me roguelike games with playing cards, I can't tell them apart even if they are different.

[Polident]

The Forgotten City is pretty awesome. 

Best to go in blind. Without dipping into spoilers, it originated as a Skyrim mod, and that’s basically how it plays. But limited to a single small city, with heaps of detail and complexity in choice, with minimal combat. It’s about exploration and detective work. Bonus if you’re an ancient history nerd and enjoy musing about societal ethics and religions.

Build your own bundle of a bunch of old games you may or may not recognize including some that were more popular on consoles, 1 for $1, 5 for $3, 10 for $5:

At least one of these is the PS1 game running in Bleem which is an emulator that hasn't been updated in 22 years.

[Eric Cartman]

I mean... I guess they sorta kinda got a 2 spoopy theme for october?

[davepoobond]

i hardly know any of the games i'm getting from these humble bundles, but the occasional game i "might" have spent 50 bucks on has basically justified the collecting of these games i dont even remember i have a day after i redeem them

I already got and played a lot of this, but was considering Gotham Knights at $13 for something basic to fuck around with. Would get Back 4 Blood, MK11 and Shadow of War Definitive for $2!

edit: Forgot to mention the Gotham Knights pass thing is just cosmetics, not new missions or something.

Gotham Knights, man, it's been a while since I abandoned an open-world game. So disappointing. 
Actually, the previous abandoned OWG is on there, too: Mad Max. Just super samey, got tired of doing the same thing over and over. 
But I'd go back to Mad Max before Gotham Knights…

https://www.humblebundle.com/games/slice-dice-everything-nice-d3-after-dark

In the mood for some action games that are as risque as they are relentless? This bundle from D3 has the goods, with a selection of titles that bring the white-knuckle action alongside a healthy dose of fan service. In Samurai Maiden, you’re a young woman with killer katana skills who’s whisked back to Japan’s Sengoku period to battle demonic monstrosities alongside her cute ninja comrades. Bullet Girls Phantasia is a third-person shooter that has you blasting away at hordes of orcs, skeletons, and other fantasy baddies, with content that dials the lewdness up to 11. Onee Chanbara Origin is an HD remake of the first two games in the pioneering bikini-wearing, zombie-slaying action series, both as ravishing and action-packed as ever. Pay what you want for all these games and more, and help support Cool Effect and One Tree Planted with your purchase!

https://www.humblebundle.com/games/back-with-vengeance-best-boomer-shooters

Treat yourself to a shotgun blast from the past with this bundle of boomer shooters, sure to help you blow off steam while bathing you in gibs! You’ll get the slick, hyperviolent Ultrakill that rewards you for slaying with frenetic style. Also included are a host of other titles inspired by the old school greats, including the dark, Lovecraft-inspired Forgive Me Father 2, and Turbo Overkill, whose over-the-top action is excessive even by boomer shooter standards. Pay what you want for this bundle of 7 awesome games and help support Child’s Play and the Trevor Project!

Which way western man?

Pretty big gamble

Kind of telegraphing that the next six months of games will be bottom of the barrel-tier garbage. Gotta lock them subs in long-term.

...and there it is!

[chronovore]

It doesn't affect Humble Bundle, just Humble Games, which was a publishing wing branded to be related by its parent company. 

It still sucks big-time. These monolithic companies like Ziff-Davis, Amazon, and Google decide "oh, we should do games" without understanding the how and why things work. They try to apply what they already do to the games model, instead of trying to understand what they're attempting. It's like having a map, but it's not for the area they're trying to navigate: the terrain does not line up, and they end up walking into a swamp.
