Humble has launched a new "pay what you want" bundle featuring 15 games from 2K, including major titles like Borderlands 3, BioShock Infinite, and The Quarry. The bundle requires a minimum purchase of £13.44 to access all included games, with any amount above that minimum supporting developers and the chosen charity, Covenant House.
Notable Titles
The collection boasts a significant lineup of acclaimed titles. Borderlands 3, while considered by some to deviate from the series' typical formula, offers enhanced shooting mechanics and cooperative play. Mafia II: Definitive Edition provides a remastered version of the 2002 crime drama, complete with all its downloadable content and updated visuals.
BioShock Infinite, a standout in the series, received perfect scores upon its release, praised for its polished narrative, fast-paced combat, and engaging exploration mechanics. The bundle also includes Tiny Tina's Wonderlands, a 2022 spin-off that reimagines the Borderlands universe as a tabletop role-playing game, featuring voice work from notable actors like Wanda Sykes and Andy Samberg.
For horror enthusiasts, The Quarry, a 2022 slasher title, is included. It is recognized for its likable characters and engaging story, though its effectiveness was somewhat marred for some reviewers by a paywalled "Death Rewind" feature for Deluxe Edition owners. The Darkness II, a sequel that refines the original's unique mechanics for melee combat and environmental destruction, is also part of the bundle.
Strategy and Remasters
Fans of strategy games can find two X-COM titles: the original 1994 X-COM: UFO Defense and its 2012 reimagining, XCOM: Enemy Unknown, which was lauded for its depth and challenging gameplay. The bundle also includes the Homeworld Remastered Collection, offering tactical space combat with over 30 single-player missions. The Hidden & Dangerous trilogy provides a collection of World War II tactical shooters.
Further enhancing the lineup are Duke Nukem 3D: 20th Anniversary World Tour, a graphical update to the classic shooter with new levels and multiplayer modes, and Bulletstorm: Full Clip Edition, a remastered version of the 2011 first-person shooter with all its original content and enhancements.
Spin-offs and Survival
The bundle extends the Borderlands offering with Tales from the Borderlands, an episodic narrative adventure that takes place between Borderlands 2 and Borderlands 3. This Telltale Games production was praised for its sharp writing, humor, and compelling character development. Risk of Rain 2, a roguelike shooter known for its expansive, randomly generated worlds and challenging combat, is also featured. Finally, Tribes of Midgard Deluxe Edition, a cooperative survival RPG set in Norse mythology, allows up to ten players to work together.
Given the breadth of content and the low entry price, the Humble 2K Megahits bundle presents a significant value for PC gamers looking to expand their libraries.
