The
September Humble Monthly prepurchase games have been announced and they've added a new twist in this month. I'm not really sure why exactly, but they're giving you the choice between three games or a single game that was in a previous Humble Monthly. I'm guessing maybe the distributors for Rise of the Tomb Raider wanted to be featured again but Humble really didn't want to give away the same game to someone who's been a subscriber of their system forever. At any rate, you can get that single game ($70) or you can get Sniper Elite 4 ($67, but currently on sale on Steam for $10), Tales of Berseria ($65), and Staxel ($22). I've decided I intend to stream Humble Monthly games on the weekend going forward to shake things up from always playing Blood Bowl and decided to go with the three game option primarily because my sister keeps trying to get me to play a Tales game.
The three games are a sniper shooter game, a jRPG, and a farming simulator. A good variety that probably hits a lot of games with at least one of the games and seems like it should really hit me with two of them. I remain bad at aiming but jRPGs are ostensibly my favourite game genre and I really like Stardew Valley. I say ostensibly because I was thinking about it earlier and haven't actually played a new jRPG since probably Final Fantasy XIII in 2009 and I didn't even finish that one. So, well, I have high hopes but maybe my mental image of the genres I like doesn't line up with who I am today? Hard to say.
I'm going to stream Tales of Berseria tomorrow and see how it goes!
