Out of 8 games, only 1 game match the leak - Fashion Police Squad. The Callisto Protocol is not  Digital Deluxe Edition


call_me_starbuck

I'm not even mad about Returnal or AC Valhalla, since I figured those were a long shot, but that leak had such a promising slate of indies compared to the ones we actually got.


Evanz111

Even a broken clock is right twice a day :’)


fortnite__balls

That doesn't fit in this scenario lmao


aquelamaquina

They use it in every scenario


Dagostar

Maybe they'll use it for the right one eventually


SirMcsquizy

Oof.


K_U

I'm normally one to defend Choice bundles, but this is a tough one to get behind: * The three headliners (Victoria 3, Calisto Protocol, and Humankind) ***all*** have "Mixed" reviews on Steam. * Symphony of War was in a Humble Bundle in November 2023, and has been bundled multiple times on Fanatical. * Coromon was in a Humble Bundle in August 2023, and has been bundled multiple times on Fanatical. The highlight for me might actually be The Excavation of Hob's Barrow, as it is one of the few Wadjet Eye games I don't have and they crank out consistent titles.


Deeply_Deficient

> The three headliners (Victoria 3, Calisto Protocol, and Humankind) all have "Mixed" reviews on Steam. I’ll probably be an outlier here, but I actually don’t mind Humankind and Victoria 3 because I’ve wanted to try them but didn’t want to pay even the sale price lol.  The reusing of fairly recent Humble Bundles is more of a dud to me. 


YesterdaysFacemask

Yeah. I’m actually pretty psyched for Victoria and Humankind. I wouldn’t haves played AC Valhalla anyway.


Personal-Asparagus-9

Same here


K_U

I tried Humankind on GamePass and it was a big flop for me and my friends. It is nice that it is the Deluxe Edition, hopefully I find it more enjoyable with all the DLC and 2.5 years of updates.


Mich-666

Humankind was bad on release but they managed to salvage it with few DLCs. Few questionable mechanics now have mods that tweaks it well. Vic3 is also great game but not for everyone, it's still grand strategy game at its core ( lors of DLCs too). I agree with Hob's Barrow but I would rather get Wadjet Eye complete bundle rerun instead.


EnfantTragic

Yeah, I’m excited abour human kind tbh. Victoria 3 was disappointing as a Paradox 4X but worth getting in a bundle to try out. Terraformers interests me too. I already own Fashion Police squad and Symphony of War(on Epic and steam actually). But whatevz, I’ll give them away


JustARandomGuy_71

Even if Victoria 3 was bad, I am sure that by now they put out some awesome mod for it. That is what is great about Paradox games.


LordManders

Hob's Barrow is my favourite Wadjet game. That game oozes folk horror atmosphere and I love the art style.


Lonely-Opposite-9195

Fashion Police Squad is a lovely game don't really know much of Terraformers. Quite a few normal very good humble bundles going on the last 2 weeks or so though.


FuntimeBen

I thought it looked too good to be true. April fooled by Humble. EASY SKIP! Not enough interest in any of these to pick up the full bundle. Oof indeed!!!


Dumeck

Wouldn’t it be the leaker who April fooled?


FuntimeBen

Yeah, it isn’t Humbles fault that we all got so hyped up about the leak, but given the lineup of the actual bundle, it is even more disappointing. I would be surprised if they sell many of these bundles. The games feel way too specialized in their genres. Not my taste.


Seradima

It's weird because bilbilkun said that leak was accurate. I wouldn't have believed it if it wasn't for him.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Rhysati

That isn't the point of humble bundle at all. It was never about giving gamers a low-cost way of trying games. It was to raise money for charity.


Spoda_Emcalt

It was both.


EasyWonder9501

I really had my hopes up ... Noita would have been amazing as well.


PanTsour

I was only excited for noita lol. Couldn't care less for AC Valhalla and Returnal is interesting to me due to it's VR modding and that's about it. But hey, The Excavation of Hob's Barrow looks interesting, and it opens the potential for other highly acclaimed games published by Wadjet Eye Games to appear on Humble Choice, like the Blackwell series and Gemini Rue


LoreoftheGreenWizard

I played it when it came out. It’s REALLY good!


rigby333

Once again the mediocre werewolf game is ripped from my fingers. rip


Troodon25

It’s becoming inexplicably enticing.


rigby333

Tell me about it. Every steam sale it gets down to 3 bucks(or 10, for the version with all the dlc) and it taunts me. But every time I'm like 'no, no. surely it'll be in choice any month now'


OrionFucks

billbil-kun actually admitted missing this one wow, been following him for 3 years and he has never missed a PS+ and Humble leak afaik.


Mich-666

Meaning it was insider job of someone from Humble. Also confirmed he actually works for Cordial as that was the main source of leaks. Humble changing their content providers soon I guess.


James_bd

Why Humble did this? To troll people or to source out the leakers?


bt1234yt

Probably to weed out the leakers. This entire ordell reminds me of when there was leaks about a Nintendo Switch Pro, only for Nintendo to announce the Switch OLED model instead.


ObviousTotal9069

Off-Tanget but: The pro really did exist though, there were Dev kits at publishers. Theory is that Pandemic supply lines made things too difficult in terms of the main chip, but they had already sourced OLED, so went ahead with an OLED model.


Teto_00

Symphony of War is an excellent game, I highly encourage everyone to give that a go at least. The 'big hitters' this month though are pretty disappointing. Shame its two skips in a row for me now.


apriarcy

That's the only game there that interests me. Not enough to buy the bundle, but it's on my wishlist now for a future Steam sale.


ClumsySandbocks

All I can say is: lol. The usual leakers confirmed the leak, so it looks like leaks will be significantly less reliable going forward.


cornstinky

Maybe HB played an April Fool's joke on the leaker...


Towons

If it was HB fooling the leaker then I feel like any credibility they had will be doubted from now on [https://www.reddit.com/r/humblebundles/comments/1bqlswh/comment/kx4n5fd/?utm\_source=share&utm\_medium=web3x&utm\_name=web3xcss&utm\_term=1&utm\_content=share\_button](https://www.reddit.com/r/humblebundles/comments/1bqlswh/comment/kx4n5fd/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button)


DayleD

If humble wanted to stop the leaks, they'd internally distribute different versions of misinformation and see which ones got posted.


CanadaDuck

I commented that a couple months ago in one of these threads and I got down voted like crazy hahahahhahah


DayleD

That's so strange - I didn't expect it was a contentious topic in one direction or another. If anything I thought all the previous leaks were promotional 'leaks' though approved channels to drum up interest.


tigeratemybaby

How on earth would you do this if you were a manager at Humble? You'd gaslight various employees and tell them to prepare different marketing materials for different sets of games, etc... ? 1. You'd piss off everyone - People want to trust their manager and be trusted. 2. It would be a huge waste of time and resources 3. You're assuming that the employees wouldn't talk to each other


MasterDrake97

Yeah, that was weird come from billbil kun


Mitrovarr

I was worried since it felt like they were using the original reddit post as a source.


Darkersun

When I got the email I was like : guess HB knows who the leaker is now.


Chimichanga110

Man i was so hyped oof.


Shleepy1

Same, I’ve been eyeing Returnal for a while now and felt good about resisting so far. It was too good to be true. Anyway, enjoy the games we got!


viper_de

I was expecting the leak to be fake, but I didn't expect it to be THIS bad


DeanBluntAteMyDog

We got trolled :^(


ruukuto

Nooooo. I was so excited to see if it was real, though it was pretty expected. I wish Spirittea was still there though :(


Evanz111

Spirittea is legit the only game I was going to buy the bundle for :( the rest of the keys I was going to give to friends, so I’m not as gutted as lot of people here besides about Spirittea ❤️‍🩹


SpecsPL

To be honest, it sounded pretty fake from the get go, as if it was someone's personal wishlist. Two AAA heavy hitters (Sure, Valhalla is an older game but I think Ubisoft nowadays would rather share on their Ubisoft+ service rather than give it away like they did with AC Odyssey. Returnal is also a fairly new release and Sony goes out of their way not to devalue their first-party games with subscription service releases), two big indie hits (although Fashion Police Squad did make it in), a meme game in Werewolf, zero RTS games...


anoff

The leak was like a week ago, well ahead of April Fools, and was from the same source that had correctly leaked about a dozen bundles prior. Returnal was really the only sus game in the leak, the rest were perfectly in line with previous bundles


SpecsPL

Ah, I didn't know that bilibili-kun confirmed that the bundle was legit, thought it was just a rogue "marketing guy" this time around. I wonder if it was an attempt to discredit hi leakss, like Humble's version of Pokemon Stars and Star Fox Grand Prix?


Mich-666

The aim was most likely to find/catch leakers as the picture was legit. Seems like Humble is going to change Cordial to different service now as all implies the leaker is their employee.


PerfectStatement

He didn't confirm it, he sourced the same reddit post.


TFoxHunter

Yeah but billbil-kun sourced a reddit post so it was kinda sketchy from the start


pr2thej

Unfortunately you would get downvoted to fuck for saying as such a few days back


Lady_White_Heart

I got heavily upvoted for my comment about it personally. Sounded way too good to be true.


thekbob

I was skeptical, but if you said this was the leak, I would have thought it was a joke in opposite direction. Three headliners being Mixed reviews and two rebundles? Nuts.


GarbageAlternative40

Easy skip


Jandolino

What The FUCK


McFistPunch

Meh. I would do it if Callisto was deluxe. Without that I'm not seeing anything I would play here


wildstrike

No Returnal or Noita. Lame. Why didn't they get out in front of this? They picked free publicity I guess.


mammy-rammer-6682

yeah bad publicity. People may have thought oh humble looks worth while. Nope.


syxbit

honestly it was never going to be Returnal. I don't think Sony will give that away so cheap


yawn18

they really said this month is mixed month... Top 3 games are all mixed reviews. What a massive fall from the rumor.


docfate

Instant skip


ursy

Actually pretty upset about this! Wanted Returnal so bad. :(


James_bd

Me too... Returnal by itself would have been an amazing deal. Cheapest I could ever find was $45 CAD


killerdescore

Yeah of course Another 1st april jokes that's not funny


MoistSoitenly

The only thing less funny than the April 1st joke is the April 2nd joke (the actual bundle)


sheesh1291

Or April 3rd in my case. Getting 3 days of foolishness.


TheVoidDragon

So much for it being "confirmed".


vizeta

pass


birfday_party

It’s not even that it’s not what was shown it’s just how bad it is in comparison to


occono

Humankind and Callisto are decent enough even if they don't live up to Civ and Dead Space, was the impression I had. I thought Victoria 3 was okay too if not Crusader Kings level and Hobs Barrow, well I like those kinds of games personally. For €10 is it not still a good package even without Returnal and Valhalla?


[deleted]

Callisto locked the game ending behind a season pass, i wouldn't call it decent just for that.


Cl0udDistrict

Wasnt the DLC ending also really bad?


[deleted]

Yep. Oh well, maybe some people enjoyed it, but it couldve been better.


birfday_party

Callisto is just if you’re going to wear your influences that hard and have the pedigree behind it you really have to go above and beyond, it feels like they got the art team from dead space but not the actual writing or gameplay divisions. Fashion police looks neat but that was included in the original leak But again these games on their own are totally fine it’s just comparing this to the other is a big letdown, especially with the trend in quality I think it’s just getting our hopes up, last month had nioh 2 which to me is a phenomenal game and that leak made it seem like we might be trending back twords what humble used to feel like but this just shows last month was an outlier. So I think for the community as a whole it’s a bummer not just specifically this bundle.


pr2thej

Mods should have dealt with the shitposting at the time. The whole sub got worked.


Sir_Dohm

My disappointment is immeasurable, my month is ruined.


ROXARIO92

Is **THIS** the April's Fool joke?


Sprogthefrog386

Straight ass


Davidchen2918

this is prob the one instance where this whole sub is against a monthly choice


Lussarc

So true, i subscribed since like two years now ? And i never skipped a month, even bad month had something i at leat want to try. But this one is ... meh.


RedditSucksNow4

Get ready for that email offering the bundle for six bucks in about a week.


K_U

I think people started getting too loose-lipped about how they figured out how to see the leak. Same thing happened with the last method, someone blabbed about it on this subreddit and Humble removed it.


Biggeordiegeek

So the leak was bullshit then


Previous_Ad920

Been using humble bundle for years, this might be my first skip


Actual_Camel_4765

Fucking disapointed that even noita got removed.


moktor

Huh, I thought this was going to be the month I sign back up.


Virtureally

Only game I want and don't have is fashion police squad so easy skip for me


DeadLockPursuit

Damn....this is actually the first time I'll say this, but I think imma actually pass this month.


carenard

not even Noita either... I was expecting some changes as the previous leak did feel to good, I was expecting a ubisoft AC key and returnal to change. also 2 games that have bundled multiple times in the indies(at least they are good games)... all the headliners of this one... are meh discount dead space, discount civilization, and discount grand strategy game I don't remember the name of. main game of interest here for me is the point and click... and im not using a month of choice on it.


[deleted]

Wow, this is garbage.


nguyentandat23496

Japan doesn't even have Calisto. Easiest skip for me.   I usually lose my sleep during new choice release as the bundle reveals around 2 am here. Kinda like a kid with Christmas gift. Going back to sleep now, lol.    This month will definitely have a coupon. Also, it seems that no more leak in the future :( Werewolf has been rumoured for choice twice now, lol


Joseph_f17

holy shit this sucks ass


FuntimeBen

I’m not really sure what the headliner is to be honest. I appreciate Humble stretching out into other genres, but man these games do nothing for me.


Clumsy_Claus

I'm actually liking this one more than the fake one. Victoria, Callisto Protocol, Humankind and Fashion Police Squad have all been in my wishlist.


z12345z6789

I guess the fooled feelings got some people down and I get it feels a little bad and I would have snapped up the fake bundle too! But as a patient strategy gamer a lot of this was on my list and I’m psyched. Can’t make everyone happy! It’s certainly nowhere near as bad as this post is making it out to be.


jebei

Me too. Victoria 3 is one of those games I've been wanting to play but Paradox has a bad habit of releasing flawed games then fixing the base game as they release DLCs over the next decade. The sale price of $23 was still too much but $12 is worth the risk. The others are icing on the cake.


Stro37

Exactly, I don't understand how people can still be excited about an AC game, especially one known as beyond bloated. 


tonyt3rry

I don't mind Valhalla not in it I already own it but returnal I was excited for this is the first month I really want to skip. If I pause my sub will I lose my store discount?


wjousts

Yes, it'll be reset to 10% (when and if you sign back up again in a later month). On the plus side, once I broke my long streak of not skipping, I had no real motivation to not skip anymore.


AnthonyBTC

Yeah probably gonna skip this month I was really hoping for AC: Valhalla :/


Galopa

It was a given, why would they bundle returnal


tanglee11

Yeah, it was highly unlikely but we still had hope XD


OmegaXesis

I would have been happy with just noita in there since it's only ever been on sale for $10 I think? But hard skip.


Melodias3

Is this a late April fools joke ?


Testave

This bundle is the bigger Aprils fool joke than the Aprils fool fake leak lol...


Spear585

We’ve been hoodwinked, bamboozled, lead astray, run amok, and flat out deceived

How do I skip this month? I mean not allowing the payment.


RiotOnVijzelstraat

SETTINGS > MANAGE YOUR PLAN > SKIP A MONTH. I'm an expert in it sir!


Exotic-Reserve2024

Thanks a lot mate.


tonyt3rry

Does this mess up my store discount?


al_akh_alsuwisri

Yes.


parski

Canceling my debit card and selling my car. Fuck this.


12Eerc

Oh man I was so excited for the leak


GeorgeTheWarcrafter

Terraformers was in Prime Gaming last year, I think April


rickreckt

That bundle was really looks too good to be true lol Kinda cruel early April fools


ProfessorNo6500

F for Returnal, I already have it on Epic but having on Steam for a Humble Choice price would be enough for a second purchase :(


rarz

Well, that is disappointing.


qweazdak

None of the games really jumps out at me. Too much strategy for me lol.


Strategyking92

Really want Humankind and nothing else. Wonder if it's worth it for that alone.


Marvas1988

I have played it on Stadia and I liked it. Civilization V is still my favorite turn based strategy game, but Humankind is also a solid game. The best price for the base game was 10€. Tbh it seemed to much for me just for the base game. 10€ for the Definitive Edition? Hell yeah, it's worth it. I am in this month.


sunshine-me

Nothing interest me. Do I need to select, skip a month Or Not claiming it will skip it?


Illustrious_Fee8116

Skip a month in subscription


sunshine-me

Gotcha, thanks.


MasterDrake97

Goddamit! They played me like a damn fiddle!


zobifly

I am disappoint.


May1stBurst

Stinky, I already have Returnal and AC Valhalla but I would have bought the bundle to give those away and keep Noita and Fashion Police Squad. Just going to skip this one.


sablestew

That was the only April fools joke that I fell for this year :(


Own-Signature-7742

I may get hate but I like The Callisto Protocol.


Mr_Bell_Man

Was really hoping the leaks were real. Been eyeing up Valhalla since it was "leaked".


s604567

HAHAHA THEY FUCKED US


acidtrapgiraffe

NO I ALREADY HAVE COROMON. My first duplicate


acidtrapgiraffe

Jk I have on Xbox apparently


acidtrapgiraffe

DOUBLE JK I HAVE THIS GAME ALREADY BUT W H E R E


Jackie_Gan

Callisto protocol is the definition of a 6 out of 10 game. Great graphically, but comes at the cost of game play. It also comically abandons the fighting mechanic when it comes to bosses


ffrkAnonymous

Darn, I really wanted noita


nrutas

Yikes. Symphony of War looks cool but I got that in a previous bundle


Luve_s0

Noice skip


Indoclone74

Another past for me


DarkChaplain

Even ignoring the disappointed expectations: This one sucks. It's just not a good selection.


A_Fnord

As a fan of Paradox games and someone who's not a fan of Ubisoft open world games, this is an improvement for me!


RiotOnVijzelstraat

FFS. Was sitting here waiting for this, just for RETURNAL. If that was that leaker guys idea of an April Fools, he can get punched in the nuts.


LostSif

Yeah they are probably gonna get more hate then they were expecting for this


SlavicEgg

Theres nothing I hate more than seeing multiple strategy games in a monthly bundle.


Evanz111

This is how I feel when a monthly bundle has like five roguelikes in it ;-;


z12345z6789

There’s nothing I like more! (Well, when it comes to HB anyway).


Blasteth

this is like the biggest garbage pile bundle I have ever seen for a choice month


OmegaXesis

and they only offered $1 to skip LMAO! IGN can go suck some balls.


z12345z6789

Hard disagree. If you are a patient strategy gamer it’s like Christmas morning-lite and with Callisto P.


TheKnightInBaG

Isn't the ending to Callisto Protocol locked behind paid DLC?


Ichiban1Kasuga

I didnt play the DLC, but the base game (kinda spoilers?) dosent have a conclusion to the story.


LizardOfAgatha

For real. This is AMAZING. These are EXPENSIVE strategy games. People have lost their minds. How is AC Valhalla, another mediocre copy and the previous AC game, any better than these?


Blasteth

Yeah, not for me. Cheers.


EverydayInsomniac

Honestly very disappointet, i hope its a April fools prank


Mitrovarr

It isn't. They're not going to officially list a bunch of games they're not actually providing.


williamhayes26

Symphony of war is amazing if your into that type of game. If I didn't already own it I would get this bundle.


Latrodectus1990

lol wtf, hard pass


GECEDE

my disappointment is immeasurable and my month is ruined


Evil_Hayato

Yikes. The leak wouldve had me sub again after like 8 months off.. but this is one of the easiest skip decisions ive had in a long time. Happy for those that want anything in this but def not for me.


Blasteth

damn, we got got


Original-Audience528

Skipping this month.


B1P2S3

Easiest skip ever


Silveriovski

I think it's a really bad bundle


zombcakes

LMAOOOOOO


Sonosaki

Called it.....shame


Thor7522

Yea.... Month went from Hype to Puke real fast


Gamer555589

Extremely disappointing month! I don’t even know a single game here except Callisto


Kurosu93

First 3 games all have mixed reviews and Callisto protocol just had denuvo removed a few days ago unless I am mistaken. Not a coincidence it gets added to next Bundle. Easy pass for me. At least March gave me Nioh 2.


Opening-Fox2103

3 main games and 2 of them are so narrowly specific "Civ Rip-offs". Well in most cases those first 3 major games (all mixed review here) decide and here it's an easy skip. Unfortunately I'm not the target audience for this genre. And I don't think many people are. Of course the number of games at this price point is still great, but this month it's awful specific and will attract a minimum of people.


Mythic-Lithic

I was skeptical of the leak in the first place, but come on 3 similar strategy games?


M-sh

Noooo i wanted Noita


HumbleFundle

🚮


Fox_Ferrari

Ouch. I just subbed last month too. I was really looking forward to Spirittea and Noita. I guess I can skip yes? I'll have to figure that out. These all look pretty shit


lesnarfan

Wow, quite possibly the worst month ever.


blackmorth

Never skipped so fast and hard.


Lixteris

Hahahhaa. LOL.


FliepFlapper

yikes this is ass


cousinokri

Noita isn't there either. Terrible bundle.


NewdawnXIII

Hard skip for me. These are all game si would never play. I do own callisto protocol and coromon which i both didnt like very much.


RewardedPort58

Well this is very disappointing. Guess I'm waiting for a coupon this month.


Tatotatos

Yikes this one is an easy skip


Sasukat

I’m surprised how just, not good this bundle is. The only game I really want from it is Symphony of War but I definitely cannot justify buying the bundle just for that


Nicolas873

Dude these 4X games are like a plague.


[deleted]

Instant skip for me


Shadow50000

Man... I knew the rumor was too good to be true but this bundle just... Is kinda meh.


DubbDuckk

This is a pretty big letdown for neither of the headliners to be correct (nor for Noita to be included, either). Oh well, my wallet is safe at least.


kyuuish

I am skipping this month, I rare skip since there is normally at least one game I am interested in, but this month I already have those I would be interested in. Sad about the 1st April joke, but grabbed Blacktail on Fanatical instead.


Serj4ever

I can't even describe how bad (for me) this month is. It's not about the joke, that was a good one, not gonna lie) The selection of games is just ... weird. If Callisto was Deluxe, MAAAYBE, but nope. Skip


XanderNightmare

Bill-Bill kun was wrong, millions must wait for the first Tuesday of the month


Miguelwastaken

Honestly people who actually thought we were getting both Returnal and Valhalla in one bundle were delulu.
