Humble Bundle is having a sale full of popular games from their site. Check some of them out and see if you were missing some of these popular games from your collection.
Victor Vran – 75% off at $4.99
Victor Vran is an isometric RPG where you must destroy demons with your large array of weapons. You become a demon hunter, hoping to save your town from these monsters. You can play along with friends, or take it all on alone, in this stunning game.
Victor Vran is a fantastic action-RPG, plain and simple. After playing the game through, it’s easy to say that I’ll be back for more. While the story, enemies, and environments are nothing new, the gameplay and humor gives the game just enough to stand out among the crowd.
The End is Nigh – 60% off at $5.99
The End is Nigh is an adventure platformer where you end up moving through the end of the world. Taking inspiration from classic platformers, you end up collecting tumors, trying to not die, and avoiding strange dead creatures.
The End is Nigh is a ludicrously challenging platformer about the inevitability of death. Created along with Tyler Glaiel (Closure), it brings a new spirit to the genre, one that explores the pressures of stress and bottomless despair, yet still contains those soaring moments of accomplishment that spit in the eye of failure.
House Flipper – 15% off at $16.99
House Flipper sees you taking on old homes, destroying walls, cleaning them up, and working with the electrics to bring them up to scratch. From cleanup, getting rid of bugs, wiring up rooms, designing, and selling, you will be taking on all aspects of flipping homes.
Each repair comes with its own set action, letting players really get a taste for how fixing up a home is done. You’ll have control of interior design and even electrical installations as well, allowing you to do more than just fix things as they create their own homes from the shell of the previous place.
Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes – 50% off at $7.49

Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes is an intense multiplayer game where one person is trapped in a room with a bomb that they need to defuse while other players must relay instructions to defuse it. As the time ticks down, the players with the instructions will need to keep explaining without actually seeing the bomb.
I expected there would be a lot more shouting and yelling between people while playing the game, but everyone I watched play and even those I played with worked extremely well together under the pressure. The tension was palpable, but no one cracked under the pressure. Most importantly, though, is the fact that I’ve never quite played a game like it. It felt really strange directing someone’s actions without actually knowing what they were doing. A surprising level of trust develops between players in a short period, which is somewhat remarkable.
Purchase Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes.
Thimbleweed Park – 50% off at $9.99
Thimbleweed Park is a story-driven mystery game that sees you trying to figure out what is going on in Thimbleweed Park. There is a huge variety of characters, mysteries to solve, and strange things going on within this game.
The initial storyline revolves around two detectives called in to investigate a body discovered on the outskirts of town.

Each is dealing with their own interconnected story arc, but as you play through, the storylines and characters begin to intersect.

Cosmochoria – 75% off at $2.49
Cosmochoria is an adorable arcade action game where you need to hop between planets, killing the aliens on them. Killing is not the only thing you will be doing, as you can also plant flowers and unravel mysteries on these dying planets.
The galaxy changes with each playthrough, being procedurally-generated for you to fly through on your jetpack. It’s strangely relaxing to fill this gray and black galaxy with color despite the alien beams perforating your pale, bare flesh, and now you can savor the full sensation of the void of space on your skin with the full retail release. Just try not to get any blood or alien poop in the flower beds while you’re at it.
Lamplight City – 15% off at $12.74
Lamplight City is a detective story where you need to solve crimes for your clients while tracking down your partner’s killer and managing your sanity. With your dead friend constantly trying to talk to you, cases to be solved, and a bunch of consequences to your actions, you will need to make good decisions to last.
Overall, Lamplight City is a delight. Meaningful changes to somewhat stale adventure conventions ensure that the game’s criminal cases are engaging to solve, and the underlying story presents a nice murder mystery as well. It feels like there is lots of experimentation with the form of point & click adventure games these days.
Timespinner – 10% off at $17.99
Timespinner is a beautiful pixel art adventure game full of story. You are playing as Lunais, and her family has been murdered, her timespinner devices have been destroyed, and she has been transported to an unknown world, left there to find her way home. You will need to move through the past and present, destroying enemies and befriending creatures, to see if you can make it back.
Timespinner takes you to pretty pixel worlds and interconnected places, letting players wander through these ever-expanding realms as they gain new powers that steadily open up new places to go. Not only will you be constantly finding new places within each world, but your ability to go back to the cheerful past or return to the grim present means every locations constantly unveils new secrets to you as you wander.
For the King – 35% off at $12.99
For the King is an action-packed strategy game where you get to explore the kingdom of Fahrul. The queen of the kingdom has asked citizens to fight back against the monsters and chaos taking over the world, and you have risen to the task. You (as well as your friends, if they’d like to join your team) will need to take on the dangers and see if you can help your kingdom return to peace.
JRPG-like turn-based combat, roguelike relentlessness, and tabletop maps to traverse. If you’re looking to prove yourself as a tactician, For The King is your challenge. With procedurally-generated maps full of ruthless monsters and rewards, you’ll have to make every move count.
Astroneer – 20% off at $15.99
Astroneer is a striking exploration game that takes you to distant planets that you can reshape and build upon. Through terraforming, extracting resources, and building up bases, you can eke out a living on, and meander through, these procedurally generated worlds.
With your cash and items, you can create neat outposts, vehicles, and other fun tools using snap-together components, allowing for some creativity in the things you make. Don’t feel like you have to do it alone, as Astroneer offers four player drop-in/out online co-op. Doughy planets that you can manipulate with up to four people online sounds like a recipe for pure ridiculousness to me. Astroneer might be worth it for the silliness that comes out of that alone.
