Is it at least a Payday 2 key with a bunch of DLC or just the base game?
You get:
Payday 2: The Big Bank Heist
Payday 2: Gage Mod Courrier
Payday 2: Gage Assault Pack
Payday 2: Dragan Character Pack

Oh I like this a lot. I've wanted RUST and Neon Struct and just held off on buying both of them on the Steam sale
Listing lowest prices. I didn't get a Payday 2 key either.
Banished - 4.99
Rust - 13.39
Chroma Squad - 8.11
Neon Struct Deluxe - 13.74
Company of Heroes 2 - 7.49
Apparently COH2 has been bundled multiple times before?
Edit: probably didnt get the payday 2 key cause it was also previously bundled?
Banished - 4.99
Rust - 13.39
Chroma Squad - 8.11
Neon Struct Deluxe - 13.74
Company of Heroes 2 - 7.49

Anyone want a copy of Banished? Fun little game but I already own it
bundle value check
company of heroes 2 - $7.49
western front dlc - $2.49
british forces - $3.24
Chroma squad - $8.11
neon struct - $9.89
payday 2 - $3.26
dlc value - $3.71
rust $13.39
Banished $4.99
total value $56.57 (total value created from lowest price ever on games not just lowest price on steam)
I didn't include a demo price
company of heroes 2 was in a single bundle before, a humble relic bundle as a beat the average game
payday 2 has been in stuff before but not sure if the dlc has been.

Already owned (and deleted) Payday 2... but happy for the rest. I would not have bought any of these on my own volition, but now I will give them each a fair shake. I like the well rounded nature of the games offered in this bundle.
I will probably stick around for one more month, but to echo someone else's sentiments: I worry about my rapidly growing backlog and the chance that I will already own most of the games offered... This simply can't go on forever. So many bundles.

For the second time, I don't own any the games so am pretty fortunate. Although wouldn't say I'm wildly excited by the selection, I can't grumble about the price and most of the games I've been interested in trying.

Is Rust any good?

Well 6 games I don't own is a plus but none of them seem to be up my alley which is a bummer BUT that is the point of bundles I think. Trying games you might not otherwise. So all in all 2nd month in and I'm fine with how this mystery bundle thing is going. Unless I play all 6 of these games and hate them of course
I've heard good things about it. Especially if you have friends to play it with
dave is ok
aztek is ok
It's constantly in flux so it's hard to review, but I loved it. It's especially great with a group o friends to play with because by nature it's pretty brutal when playing by yourself.

I'd love a copy!
Much better month for me, because I only owned CoH 2.
Neon Struct is the best. Actually, I very nearly bought it in the steam sale but I decided to hold off in case it was in the monthly. So that paid off. I'm getting the same feeling now as with PS+: it's much better if you don't buy games yourself!

Worth alone for Coh2 items (5$ game, 5$ western armies, 2$ British). No doubt it is a great deal for new Steam accounts. However, if you are a humble bundle/steam sales veteran, I am unsure if 12$/month is going to be worth it for your account.
Separate Steam keys are nice. If someone has a spare British Forces DLC key, let me know...
I wish I could just subscribe for it after the games are revealed. I really don't want to receive a bunch of games I have no interest in playing. Perhaps they could have an extra game for early subscribers and only 5 for post-reveal.

$12 a month along worth it for my account.... NOPE!
$12 a month with selling the keys I don't want off, most likely.
I doubt there will be a ton of competition with getting rid of my extra keys as the risk vs reward hasn't been good so far, but it will at least keep me funded for the next month so I can keep blindly giving money to humble >.<

Neon Struct will get overlooked forever but you should give it a go, stylish stealth done right. Or at least listen to the soundtrack.
yeah I have only seen a handful of people in the buy sell trade thread here, last time there was a lot more so sales had to be way down.
Still have it? I'm interested for building game.

Yeah... I chose wisely.
I mean Banished is good, but I already have it so that is the main problem here.

Damn. I would've liked this month. I wanted payday 2 and chroma squad. That sucks
I haven't purchased that many games after 2012 and I don't read. Last month really blew for me as I bought SR4 and Valkyrie Chronicles during Summer sales but haven't got around to play them yet P). I really enjoyed playing Besiege and I'll definitely play Legend of Grimrock 2 in January (no time for games this month). But I have no games from this month's bundle and discovering something like Neon Struck is really nice, on top of getting Company of Heroes 2. Frankly I don't have time (or will) to read game previews or reviews anymore so something like this ("here's a selection of games we chose for you, hope you enjoy them") works for me, but probably not for many people otherwise. $144 a year is a lot of money and it can cover a lot of excellent games (bought during seasonal sales) suited specifically for your tastes.

It's only been on sale once ever, for the recent Thanksgiving sale
I ended up only having Banished, so it actually works out for me pretty well. Most interested in Chroma Squad, so that's a pretty big win for me.
I don't mind it so much. I don't think the quality of the games will ever satisfy everybody. For that to happen they'd have to offer something completely unrealistic, like, a recently released AAA game. Just something that won't happen, most likely.
Count me in for another month, Humble. I'll see how it goes next year and if it gets too repetitive for me I'll cancel.

i dont like the trend. Its basically a "gamble sale" like gog is doing right now. I just dont like it.....
That said, the first two months of this have been good value. But i think as time goes by humble will have to weight it more and more with games that arent selling in order to keep it generating +$. For now at least its essentially 70-90% off on recent-ish titles.

It is blind but at a high price point, so Humble cannot really sell bad games or everyone will unsubscribe. It is not the same kind of blind bundles as $1 ones, I think it cannot ever be if they want the business to keep going.
Yup it need to retain the quality it has now at the very least or else people will drop their subscriptions like stones (it seems many did just after the very first one which was good but not mind-blowing). It'll be interesting to see Neon Struct on SteamSpy over the next few days, the game has pretty much no userbase (3k owners), so it should be good to gauge the number of subscriptions.
