Looks like the monthly Humble Choice bundle for December is a pretty good one, filled full of games and Classic / Premium subs get 14 this time.
What is it? Each month Humble Bundle curate a selection of games for subscribers to claim. How many you can claim to keep depends on what tier you pay for. This month they seem to be quite generous since you keep them all and there's more than usual.
Here's what's on offer (Linux builds in bold text):
- Overcooked 2 + Too Many Cooks + Surf 'n' Turf
- Children of Morta
- One Step From Eden
- Indivisible
- The Beast Inside
- Shining Resonance Refrain
- Zwei: The Arges Adventure
- Zwei: The Ilvard Insurrection
- Tabletop Playground
- The Haunted Island, A Frog Detective Game
- Frog Detective 2: The Case of the Invisible Wizard
- Still There
- Struggling
- Path of Giants
Additionally, they're also giving out one month of EA Play Pro when you sign up for Humble Choice Premium if any of you are interested at all in that. Existing subs get $5 off. You might be able to make use of that with the Wine compatibility layer perhaps.
Overall though for the standard $15 price for the monthly bundle getting Children of Morta, Overcooked 2 and One Step From Eden together make it a really great deal as those are fantastic games.

Quoting: OdisejMy experience is rather different. I like the bundles as they introduce games I would probably not even notice. I have had a a great time playing some of them especially from Daedalic. I won't play all of them I added to my library until now but for 10e+ I don't see it as a big expense.Frankly for the price, I've not seen a month that has been a "bad" deal even if I was only interested personally in two of the games at the lowest on one of them because it was still vastly cheaper than buying individually. Builds up a nice collection to keep, unlike other subscriptions where you're basically renting.

Exactly my thoughts.
- I usually get in humble a mix of games that I wanted to play, but were either low priority or not native linux (only try to buy them Linux even if I still dual boot... mea culpa.. mea culpa...)
- Or games that passed below the radar and are actually good. Having some streamers doing a review a few dayus after the bundle release also helps.
In the end, I think for the price (classic subcription here), and even if I only played some of those included, I'm getting a good deal and not a rented subscription. So I can later, and indeed have gone back to many times, some old humble games.
In fact, the first 2 BIG games in the bundle are usually some of less interisting ones for me. I like more good and/or experimental indies than a AAA, and specially not the latest kid in the block (mix of patient gamer and low space SSD drive...).

So... only two games, and to be honest, I'm vaguely tempted to skip it because Shining Resonance has Denuvo DRM and I try to avoid supporting anything associated with it.
But in the end, I'll probably pull the trigger for One Step from Eden since it's not a game I'm likely to buy otherwise, but everything about it suggests that it's something I might enjoy!
