Almost picked up Shadow of War from the Steam sale, glad I held off. Rest of the bundle though, meh.

I had a fantastic time with Shadow of War. I found it a big step up from Mordor across the board and was surprised at how much of a challenge the regular combat could potentially become. I had to think tactically a lot of the time rather than brute forcing my way through orcs. A thing to explode with an arrow, a lone orc in the distance I could teleport to and consume to heal myself and often even a potential escape route. The skill tree is very customisable and there are legitimately difficult choices to make as far as point distribution goes. For example, you can pick to either have a summonable mount that can be used indoors (great for boss fights), a larger version that is restricted to outdoors but has a ton of hp and damage output, or a drake that you can use to fly around the world and get to destinations super fast as well as attack orcs from a distance.
The nemesis system was the highlight of Mordor and as expected it is expanded upon for War. The maps are bigger, the visuals are what they are. The story isn't amazing but isn't dull either. If you played Mordor then you'll have investment in the main hero and what his fate ultimately is.
I'd strongly recommend this game to anybody who is a fan of open world or action or even just fantasy role playing.

That bundle is definitely tempting, but the only ones I really want on it are Shadow of War, Graveyard Keeper, and Two Point Hospital. Hell, I still have a backlog of games I need to play, especially the ones I recently bought. Might end up getting this one though, seems like it's worth the 15 bucks.
Shadow of War is just an ok, I'm just going to give people a heads up on. In some ways, it improves a little upon Mordor. But then you have the dumbshit fortress game, crap controls, crap item/equipment system, and an ok story.
Just don't reply to me. Please. If you can help it.
I buy very few games and honestly continuing the classic plan for me is great. I am literally still catching up from months behind of what i want to play and finish... what is mostly the reason i am behind try to complete too much in too little time.
If you buy games often bought games that were recommended at the time of their release to be must haves than this bundle deal is far less attractive.
Oh yes, you can gift them now the duplicates that is pretty nice.

So question about the Humble Choice. I activated it for this one because three games were on my wishlist. You know how Humble will automatically charge your account around the 25th of the month? Do they still do that? If so, would it be better to immediately pause now, and then wait for the games to be revealed before activating it for next month?
It still auto-deducts towards the end of the month. If you go to My Subscription > Manage My Subscription it will show you the date they'll bill you.
Also @Immitis if you missed out on Mages and can wait a few days I can send you a key for it.

I guess the second part of that question is, when are the games revealed? I was hoping that would happen first, and I could then choose to pause, instead of pausing first and then unpausing if I like it. Sorry, I paid like zero attention to all of this until I realized at the last minute that the recent one had three games on my wishlist, plus Shadows of War and Street Fighter 5.
