Hmmm... Forgotten City is good, if only for one playthrough to solve the mystery of everything. I don't care much about Borderlands these days and the rest of these I've never heard of. Can't say I'm excited for this month but I'll get it for the City alone.
Oh man, this is another one of those months that I regret subscribing but will probably still pay to keep my grandfathered rate. And it's not that any of these look bad at all. Far from it. It's just that these are all genres that I either don't like or simply don't have the energy to invest into at this point in my life. There are definitely other times when I would have enjoyed Autonauts vs Piratebots (I liked Autonauts!) or The Forgotten City. In a weird twist the one game that I feel most interested in right now is Who Pressed Mute on Uncle Marcus, an FMV game.
Tiny Tina's Wonderlands looks like something I might have wanted to play in spite of it being something entirely outside of my comfort zone for gameplay, but I really dislike Gearbox and right now I particularly dislike their parent company for killing off Volition.
I know this came out a whole lot more negative than I really wanted it to. I'm not upset about this selection, especially given how many games that I have gotten from this subscription that appeal to me but I haven't even had the time to start with. By all means I should probably drop it, but the FOMO is real.
Tiny Tina's Wonderlands is the only entry in the Borderlands series that my friends and I just didn't finish. We played through all the other entries (1, 2, 3, pre-sequel), and just couldn't bear to finish Wonderlands.
I played a bit of the original Autonauts, and enjoyed the programming/automation challenge of it, I'll definitely play through at least some of the new one.
I have no experience with the rest, some look interesting, most will probably just get appended to my spreadsheet of keys to give away during charity events
I love these threads, Venko! Thanks for putting them up each month.
It’s nice to see that every game is Verified/Playable on Deck and runs well on Linux from the ProtonDB reports. I’m not sure if that’s just random happenstance from this selection of games or if Proton is just getting that good, but my money’s on Proton (it really is getting that good).
The part of me that thinks I like thoughtful games is excited for The Forgotten City, but the other, bigger part of me that is stuck in a rut playing mindless grindy stuff while I listen to audiobooks is excited for Tiny Tina. It’s a sad state on my gaming habits that the latter is pretty much all I do now. I bounced off of Disco Elysium last month (despite it impressing the shit out of me in the few hours I spent with it) and have spent more time on the almost tedious Arcade Paradise instead.
I debated buying it, but I've already played (and LOVED) The Forgotten City. The only other game that interests me right now it Tiny Tina, but I'm not interested enough to buy the bundle just for it.
