Humble are back of form, sort-of, with a new Humble Indie Bundle 18 stocked full of Linux games for you to drool over.

I say sort-of, since none of these are new to Linux, some have been on Linux for quite some time. It's not always a great idea to have games ported for the HIB either, as we found out with multiple games (some still not even ported as promised, hello Giana Sisters). That said, it's actually a pretty fantastic collection.

For "Pay what you want":


Pay more than the average:
  • Kentucky Route Zero (Season Pass Edition)
  • Beholder
  • Goat Simulator: GOATY
  • + More to be added in


Pay $13 (about £10.06) or more for:
  • Owlboy

Quoting: GuestAfter having tried the games I’m disappointed by all of them (except Kentucky Route Zero which I had abandonned a long time ago already).

I have to agree. I've only played Kentucky Route Zero, Ziggurat, Windward and Owlboy yet, and only KRZ looks like it could be my taste. Owlboy has exceptional artwork and good music, but sadly that's about it. Ziggurat gives a weird sense of scale and the game mechanics are rather abstracted from the game world. Windward feels like a flash game in 3D.

Quoting: GuestWindward drops you in the game with zero explanation about who you are and what the goal is, it’s almost the same for Steamworld Heist (they tried to explain things in long cutscenes but I can’t say it helped much)
I've been having a fabulous time with SteamWorld Heist, actually - I can't believe it took me this long to stumble across it. I agree that the plot is pretty bare bones, but I think all the dialogue and stuff between missions provides enough context to serve as the glue between the actual missions. And the atmosphere is quite pleasant, at least if you're not tired of steampunk stuff. Anyway, I'd personally give it a pretty glowing recommendation. Scratches my X-COM itch better than X-COM does, actually.

I have no regrets about buying the bundle. I already owned Steamworld Heist and thought it was brilliant. I was mainly interested in getting Owlboy.

Quoting: GuestOwlboy has a story for 5 year olds and annoyingly slow text and cutscenes
Sadly, after about 6 hours I have to kind of agree with you. The art is brilliant but the gameplay is getting increasingly annoying. It takes all the things I don't like about old games and doesn't improve them.

Compared to a game like Hollow Knight, it really doesn't measure up. I am sad to say it, because the art style is really good and the devs obviously put a lot of heart into the game. It is not often I publicly grumble about a game, but I think this one may be rated too highly on the steam store.

Indeed, that one was one major point in getting the bundle: I had always overlooked it so far, but watching the trailer made me think 'Wow, that looks like I like it'.

Have not yet found the time to play though....

A Story About My Uncle and Neon Drive added to the bundle. Not bad.
