An eclectic mixture of first rate games together with native multiplayer sillyfighter Gang Beasts, head-spinning puzzler Gnog, and every thing simulator Everything are bagged up collectively within the newest Humble Bundle at an excellent value. The Humble Double Fine Presents Bundle is its identify, gathering games Double Fine printed moderately than ones they’ve made themselves. They have an uncommon eye like few different ‘indie’ publishing labels, although they usually don’t appear to seize the general public’s eye, so perhaps you’ll take a look now their games are low-cost, aye?
As is the Humble approach, the Bundle’s games are divided into tiers, giving entry to extra as you pay extra. As has decreasingly been the Humble approach, all games can be found as DRM-free downloads and Steam keys.
Paying something will get you David OReilly’s pleasant and contemplative pet rock simulator Mountain (now fancier than ever, due to the MOUNTAIIN 2 FURIOUS 2.0 RELOADED update), plus minimalist platformer 140 and minimalist puzzle-y shmup Toth, each from Carlsen Games. You’ll must pay at the least $1 to get Steam keys.
We have written oh so much about Mountain earlier than. It is: good. And our Graham stated in his 140 review that the leap ’em up was “smartly executed and had me dancing in my chair at 10am in the morning.” An excellent starter tier.
Pay greater than the present common value, which is £5.61/$7.19 as I write, to additionally obtain the subsequent tier. That’s melon-twisting prod-o-puzzler Gnog (“simply a wonderful creation that you absolutely should buy and play,” stated John’s Gnog review) and nightmarish puzzle-platformer Escape Goat 2 (which I have no idea).
Lastly, paying at the least £7.79/$10.00 will get you one other two games.
Gang Beasts is a physics-driven brawl-o-fighting game of plasticine folks hurling one another round, into grinders and off buildings. It’s incredible enjoyable in native multiplayer however iffy on-line. Then there’s Everything, David OReilly’s about rolling round every thing as every thing. Graham’s Everything overview stated “at times, Everything feels like the game Spore should have been,” and it’s one in every of Brendy’s favourite games to toy with too. It’s good.
The Humble Double Fine Presents Bundle is offered for the subsequent fortnight. You can divide your money as you please between the makers, Humble, and charity.
Double Fine did a a Humble Bundle containing their own games approach again in 2013.
Disclosure: Several of the oldsters who made Gnog as soon as got here to a celebration contained inside our kitchen, although I didn’t know who they had been and slept by means of most of it. I awoke within the morning to seek out the desk coated in deflating balloons whose once-beaming Sharpie faces had been already wrinkled and frowning.
