I own a good chunk of this, but 100%-to-charity game bundles are my Proustian madeleines. Besides already being incredibly cheap at $40, it gets pro-rated down if you own pieces of it already, which you probably do. Ends tonight.

Man, imagine wasting my life playing through Legacy of Kain again. But in a good way!

Yeah that ended up at £20 for me because I already have everything I want from it. Bought it anyway. :-/

I downloaded Legacy of Kain collection a couple of years back and realised that none of the 3d ones have built-in controller support, and the cameras for early 2000s games are way worse than you tend to remember. Watched some fun outtake footage of Simon Templeman and Tony Jay camply bantering between takes on Soul Reaver recently tho 🤘

Steam codes going if yous want any of these:

N8R2Y-D396C-0XY2H
Yakuza Kiwami

PNTX6-XVXM9-B0FZT
Middle Earth: Shadow of War

MWGI7-VVBLT-GZIHV
Street Fighter V

I took Yakuza.. thank you! I'm half way through Zero and that's my first one.

I just noticed this thread. I'm sure I have a bunch of codes on humblebundle.com I haven't used.. hopefully something decent. I'll post this evening.

Okay, but this isn't the thread for that - it's First Come, First Served: A Thread for Offering Duplicate Games from Bundle Sales as Gifts

(though it's pretty unlikely someone would have that one bookmarked and not this one)

(but thank you in advance!)

I took Shadow of War, which I've been meaning to try for a while now after enjoying Shadow of Mordor. Thanks, Sgt. Biscuits!

I nabbed SFV. Thank you, Biscuits.

thanks Andrew. Done!

Enjoy, all!

Tried the demo of Ghostrunner earlier (synthwave Mirror's Edge with Hotline Miami margin of error), seems like it has a lot of potential, but the Steam controller support was too much of a mess to get far with it

Other things I've dabbled with recently:
Got SpellForce 3 free with a games for NHS workers offer, a little janky but impressive that it combines warcraft and a party-based RPG so well

Iratus: Darkest Dungeon but you play as the bad guy and build a nasty monster team that inflicts psychological horrors on nervous peasant crossbowmen. Good crack so far

Mount and Blade 2: in a bit of a rough state still. Immediately got back into the same loop of pitifully missing people from horseback, chasing bandits halfway across the map and every NPC I talk to saying no, they haven't heard any rumours and they don't need any work done

gta5's free on epic

......and epic is down

I was able to get in and grab the freebie just now, but then it started crashing over and over and switching the language around.

civ6 is free on epic

https://itch.io/b/520/bundle-for-racial-justice-and-equality
750 games, $5. All money to BLM.

A few other bundles that popped up before this:
https://itch.io/s/30788/black-lives-matter-minnesota-freedom-fund-support
https://itch.io/s/30899/black-lives-matter-donation-fund

There's a bunch of others including tabletop RPG PDFs and whatnot:

We want to take moment to highlight some other AWESOME game bundles for charity that are happening right now on itch!

FYI, the more "prominent" games in the big bundle:
Night in the Woods, A Short Hike, Quadrilateral Cowboy.

In case Super Bernie Bros wasn't enough for ya!
Should be enough play to drive you insane before we get a Covid-19 vaccine.

Ah ok - I saw the site owner posted a "best of" list:
https://itch.io/c/891735/bundle-for-racial-justice-and-equality-selections

Hey, Tonight We Riot's in there

The site is down for a server upgrade due to demand. Over $250k raised already.

Well I guess I'm set for the next decade.

they've raised over a million now.

Wow that's a great bundle

Bundles been updated with a couple of hundred more titles. The list seems to be reordered as well. A lot of the bigger titles are on the first couple of pages now.

I've yet to download anything from it, but I did start playing, and do recommend, the in-browser demo of the puzzle game Cardinal Chains.
https://danijmn.itch.io/cardinalchains

Some of the items are rpg gamebooks or game resources. A few of the games seem to be free on itch.io already.

what a swizz

2064 Read Only Memories has been added. I've had this on my Steam wishlist for bloody years lol, I can finally try it.

(I believe it's pretty good)

When I checked through the isthereanydeal wishlist sync, I think I had like eight indie games that were Steam wishlisted and happened to be in the bundle. Not a small feat considering how many I already do own from bundling.

As mentioned in the itch thread:
https://www.humblebundle.com/fight-for-racial-justice-bundle

Fantastic bundle, though $30 mininum and of course I own over half of it. Still, 100% to charity

https://www.engadget.com/gog-the-witcher-3-free-giveaway-console-pc-134103304.html

If there was also some way to sync my save file this would definitely mean me jumping from PS4 to PC (via GeForce Now, which I’m using loads at the moment).

(Huh, apparently that IS possible for Switch <> PC, surprisingly...but switch version owners are locked out of the free-pc copy offer. And cross save from PS4 is a no. Meanwhile GeForce Now supports The Witcher 3...but not the GoG version, which is the one this offer gives you. Foiled all round!)

Epic Store free games this week include Football Manager 2020 and Watch Dogs 2

This month's Humble Choice is the first great one in a while, so I get to unpause. Indivisible, Children of Morta, One Step From Eden, Shining Resonance Refrain and more.

Yogscast Jingle Jam changed sites from Humble this year, but as usual it doesn't look super great.
