The latest monthly Humble Choice bundle is up and it looks like another great package of games for you to get cheap.
This is the monthly bundle that you can subscribe to allowing you to claim all of the games included each month with a fresh set, and it also gives you a Humble Store discount (bigger discount up to 20% if you stay subscribed to it for longer). Below I will note each game you can get included plus the Steam Deck rating, any ProtonDB rating if there is one (or if it has Native Linux support) and each is a Steam link if you need more info first.
Here's what you can claim:

It's worth noting that Humble Store also has a huge sale on until May 21st. There's lots of good stuff in there like PREY for £1.99, which I felt like picking up and finally playing after the news today about Microsoft closing studios.

I'd probably have bought Far: Changing Tides too. It's a £15 indie with frequent £5 sales, so no idea what it's doing with Denuvo on it. I suppose that's the problem with Denuvo - this title will clear around 1.5M in revenue, and 15 months of Denuvo will cost them 350K, so they still clear £1.15M. But they'd have to be properly deluded to think that pirates would cost them over £350K in sales. But they still put Denuvo on there...
Quoting: scaineI'm gonna be that guy and point out that both Yakuza: Like a Dragon and Hi-fi Rush are encumbered by Denuvo DRM. Otherwise, I'd have bought this bundle. Actually, that's a lie - I'd have bought Hi-fi Rush on release if they hadn't put that keek on it. There are still, today, about 5 or 6 titles I'd have spent my money on if it wasn't for Denuvo - Monster Hunter Rise, Strange Brigade, Deathloop, Atomic Heart, Gotham Knights and a handful of JRPG games, like Octopath or Legend of Mana.

I'm gonna be that other guy and say that, since yakuza: like a dragon is a playable dlc-shop, I was never going to buy it any ways, despite it being available drm-free on gog.
On a side note, that version has the disclaimer:
QuotePlease note that the DRM-Free version of Yakuza: Like a Dragon does not include the Pachislot machine minigame with the related items and DLC.
Whatsup with that? Does the pachislot machine happen to be a place where one can gamble away real money, either directly or via in-game fantasy currency?
Quoting: emphyWhatsup with that? Does the pachislot machine happen to be a place where one can gamble away real money, either directly or via in-game fantasy currency?i think they want to make sure that people who want to gamble spend on real gamble.
Quoting: emphyWhatsup with that? Does the pachislot machine happen to be a place where one can gamble away real money, either directly or via in-game fantasy currency?I read about this at some point and asked a coworker who is a fan of the series, and they told me it's just a rather pointless Japanese-style slot machine minigame where you can win items that can all be obtained elsewhere. I don't mind fun minigames, but this one sounds like a waste of time to me.

If it follows the real-world model of Japanese pachinko-parlours, one should be able to "sell" the items one has won right next door.
Which still doesn't quite answer the question of why it isn't in the drm-free version of the game.
Quoting: emphyWhich still doesn't quite answer the question of why it isn't in the drm-free version of the game.Could be simply because it's a free DLC on Steam and Sega decided there's no money in it. Or maybe because of worse regional availability controls on GOG and they didn't want to worry about gambling regulations in some region that GOG serves? We can only speculate unless you can get a statement directly from Sega.
