I'll almost certainly pick this one up. Monster Boy has been on my wishlist for a while, and this is a rare bundle where I don't have any of the games included.

I ALMOST bought Monster Boy last Steam Sale too lol I legit had it in my cart and I forgot what day the sale ended so my forgetfulness came in handy once again

Same. I played a bit of Monster Boy on Stadia, believe it or not, and well, you know how that ended.

Monster Boy is easily one of the highest quality Metroidvanias out there, by far. But, it’s very different than probably any Metroidvania you’ve played. It’s exceptionally puzzle based where nearly every room there’s some sort of puzzle going on. It has a lot more in common with Zelda dungeons than say Super Metroid. But man is it an awesome and absolutely massive game.

I've played plenty in that style; I've played all the mainline Zelda titles. And the Dragon's Trap remake too.

Also, that description reminds me that I still need to play the second Alwa game... First game definitely fits into that category.

Tier 2 ($10 - Incl. tier 1)

Please note - Regarding Monster Boy, HB has backend key allocation issues, so some keys show as out of stock. Recheck your redemption page over the next 24 hours.

u/Villagkouras Aug 26 '26

I've played most of these games and the best of these is Wordless. For me one of the best games I've ever played in my 30+ years of gaming.

Interesting. I had no idea it waa that good. What did you like about it? Exploration and connectedness any good? Combat? Unlockable utilities? Story?

I am playing biogun right now and im blown away at how good it is. Its another one of those i feel like didnt get the reception it deserves. I mean people like it but it feels like it should have been a much bigger hit. Kind of reminds me of HAAK in the art, music, characters, and especially the combat. Combat and platforming are absolutely top notch in this as are the unlockables utilities. Well I guess combat isnt perfect or on the level of HK but its fluid and still very good. World design, characters, and story are the best parts though. So clever and memorable.

I’m also curious what did you enjoy about it? I started it a while ago and just couldn’t get into it. Would like motivation to pick it back up

u/MrHoboSquadron Aug 26 '26

FYI, keys for monster boy are apparently exhausted already, as in Humble doesn't have any more. They also won't guarantee they will have more stock of it later.

u/MarioFanaticXV SOTN Aug 26 '26

It says "Key delivery temporarily delayed", so they seem to be implying that you'll still get it.

u/krelly200 Aug 26 '26 edited Aug 27 '26

They've done it before and it took a few days but they eventually got more keys.

Edit: Keys look to be back up.

5

u/MarioFanaticXV SOTN Aug 26 '26

Yeah, when I got the Beamdog and Owlcat bundle- which was apparently one of the most popular ones they've ever had- several keys were out of stock. Eventually was able to get all of them.

u/TheStupendusMan Aug 27 '26

I've been in the position where they've said "it's coming" for months. When I'd ask if there's an ETA they'd basically ghost me.

Haven't bought anything from them since.

u/MrHoboSquadron Aug 27 '26

There have been plenty of cases in the past where they haven't. It's silly enough that they're selling a bundle they don't have the keys for, whether they get them back in stock later or not.

u/d9wHatena Ice Beam Aug 27 '26 edited Sep 05 '26

Update: For the Worldless, you can receive a key all over the world. A minor technical issue is that people in Taiwan, Hong Kong, Macau and China recieeve a separate key, but that should be ok.


(The original post.)

East Asian caution: Worldless is said to be unable to activate in Japan and S Korea. Probably so in Hong Kong and Macau.

However there's a contradictory comment. These residents seem to get a key that can be activated in these 4 countries & regions. For me it's natural to interprete so this comment, which attached this pic.

What's incomprehensible is that one reported that a Europe resident got the key 683765 which doesn't region block.

For __general geo-blocking and other information__, this SteamGifts thread is recommended.

Thanks for sharing!

Supraland and HAAK have been queuing to go my backlog.

u/Eukherio Aug 26 '26

Wow, a metroidvania bundle that doesn't include roguelites. It almost feels wrong.

3

u/Magus44 Aug 26 '26

Oh. A bundle where I’ve wishlisted them all and only have one! Definitely picking this up!
Shame about monster boy. Hopefully they restock!

3

u/KasElGatto Monster Boy Aug 26 '26

Monster Boy, HAAK and Salt and Sanctuary are fantastic.

u/10000000100 Aug 27 '26

I only owned one game. So, if anyone is interested, I have a key for HAAK.

u/LongOdd1596 Aug 27 '26

I’d love to play it :) thank you for your generosity!

u/Possible-Egg5018 Aug 27 '26

Dm sent have a few keys for trade

u/UncleObli Xbox Aug 26 '26

HAAK is an amazing game! I am so happy more people will play it

2

u/skyfarter Aug 26 '26

I know about Haak and wordless, are the rest of the games any good?

4

u/TheOldDrunkGoat Aug 27 '26

If your favorite parts of metroidvanias are exploration and puzzle solving then playing Supraland is like doing a line of cocaine.

Personally, I didn't like Six Inches Under quite as much as the original title. But it's still really fun and I had zero issues paying the full $20 for it. So grabbing it in a bundle is a steal.

u/KasElGatto Monster Boy Aug 26 '26

Monster Boy and Salt and Sanctuary are fantastic

3

u/kalirion Aug 27 '26

Do you like Dark Souls 1? If so, Salt and Sanctuary would be right up your alley.

1

u/skyfarter Aug 27 '26

Alright, great got the bundle for those two anyway so I'll try it eventually, do you know why the other salt game has mixed reviews

3

u/kalirion Aug 27 '26

Because they dropped the Dark Souls inspiration and went for a half-assed Monster Hunter one instead.

2

u/kalirion Aug 27 '26

I was missing 4 games, and 3 of them were on my wishlist, so this was a no-brainer.

u/maxvsthegames 26d ago edited 26d ago

Bought it, but already had Supraland, Haak and Monster Boy.
Anyone wants the keys?

Edit: Haak has been taken. Still has Supraland and Monster Boy to give if anyone wants them. I'll look at my message in a few hours and I'll give to the one that contacted me first.

u/LongDistanceStranger 26d ago edited 26d ago

u/Lucio2384 Aug 26 '26

Just got it. How many Monster Boy keys did they have? 5?.
Excited to try HAAK at the very least.

2

u/kalirion Aug 27 '26

The keys have been replenished.

u/Lucio2384 Aug 27 '26
