This game is currently in the Humble Choice for April 2024, and this is part of my coverage of the bundle. If you are interested in the game and it's before May 7th, 2024, consider picking up the game as part of the current monthly bundle.

Experience the entirety of humanity.

The fastest explanation of what Humankind is would be to say it’s like a different version of Civilization. There are a lot of changes here, such as not choosing a single civilization, but rather adopting a new culture with different bonuses for each era and a far superior battle system, but at the end of the day, this has all the same computer board game type of appeal that Civilization has, as well as all the complexity.

However, a lot of people have turned on this game after a long time citing the AI isn’t that strong, or cheats. This is the first game in this franchise, and while this is Amplitude Studio known for the Endless Space franchise, it does feel a little lacking. At the same time, if this is seen as a first entry in a longer franchise, there’s a lot of potential. However, that’s potential in future titles. Also, the text on the UI is frighteningly small. I usually play all games on my 50-inch TV connected to my computer and this one was unplayable but even on a normal monitor it’s a bit smaller than I would like.

Pick this up if you like Civilization, It’s 12 bucks, and you’ll easily get 20 hours into it and likely more. This has a nice different feel to it and like I said, I prefer this combat system to Civilization’s combat. You will have to learn all the differences but you’ll get a unique experience here.

Also, Humble's version is the definitive edition so all the DLC content is here.

A mystery in a cozy British town.

The Excavation of Hob’s Barrow has players arriving at a little town in England with a ton of marshes and barrows. The player is trying to find the person who summoned them there and instead meets a lot of colorful characters at the local pub. If you’ve played any of the Blackwell games, this is by the same company, Wadjet Eye Games. The voice acting is extremely well done and elevates the game quite a bit.

However the game does try to push the envelope with its graphics at times and honestly, I think it fails to nail what it is attempting. It feels almost like it’s not going far enough but also goes too far. The story is a bit slow so far, and while the characters are good, and there’s been a couple of simple puzzles, one of them is an item you might miss if you didn’t think to pick it up, and the other was more of a “what can I do” rather than solving an obvious puzzle.

Pick this up if you like the Blackwell games. I assume it’s going to be paranormal and spooky at some point, but also the writing so far has been really good though I’ve yet to get started on the main mystery.

It’s Pokemon

Coromon has such an obvious influence it even ends in Mon. But at the same time, it also does things everyone wants to see. This has a customizable difficulty with interesting choices like limited heals at the doctors, limits to monsters you can catch, and more. Every character also gets a trait when it’s caught and those traits can make two similar creatures vastly different. There’s also the ability to customize the stats of your creature and so much more. Compared to the main genre which feels like it’s stagnating at times, Coromon feels like the breath of fresh area the fans of the genre are begging for.

But at the same time, it’s Pokemon with most of the same negatives. You’ve seen much of this idea before, and while there are tons of fresh moments, the majority of the game is leveling up monsters, fighting x number of bosses, this time you fight Titans or something, and while there are new abilities, you will feel like you’ve done this before. Also, there are only 124 monsters here, and while there’s more content in other areas, having fewer characters than the first Pokemon game is a weird choice. I know, this probably has more animations or art requirements, but It still feels odd.

Pick this up if you like Pokemon. This is a pure Pokemon style game, but it’s also so well done and does enough new that fans who may have been burnt out on the main series will probably find something fresh here. At the same time, it’s not going to change most players' minds if they aren’t already fans of Pokemon.
