Git Gud with Dark Souls III in Humble Monthly’s March Bundle

Humble Bundle is the king of the video game bundle sites, and it has solidified this position with its monthly subscription service, aptly named Humble Monthly. The upcoming March bundle may prove to be the best Humble Monthly bundle yet, as it contains the critically acclaimed and tough-as-nails Dark Souls III and the Ashes of Ariandel DLC.

Subscription boxes are all the rage these days (I recently wrote an article comparing two options, Loot Crate and The Curiosity Box). They come in a bevy of flavors, from sci-fi to horror to gaming, but usually they are physical boxes with physical goodies and merchandise. Subscription boxes are excellent ways to collect video game-themed collectibles, but gamers in the mood for actual video games usually have to look somewhere else, which is where Humble Monthly comes in.

For only $12 a month, gamers will receive a metric ton of games, both AAA and indie, that cover a wide range of genres. The February bundle included Life is StrangeTacomaCivilization VIOwlboyBlack The FallSnake PassThe Norwood Suite, and Fortune 499. That’s $170 worth of games. What about January’s bundle? Tomb RaiderSleeping Dogs Definitive Edition, Quantum Break, The Long DarkWarhammer 40,000: Dawn of War IIIHiveswap Act 1Mr. ShiftyCursed Castilla, and Hitch Hiker. $190 worth of games for a paltry $12. I doubt you could find a better deal anywhere else on the Internet.

The value of the games you receive for the price you pay isn’t the only aspect that makes Humble Monthly so popular. Each Humble Monthly includes a free Humble Original, a game developed exclusively for Humble Monthly subscriptions, and one or two “early” games, which tend to be the most expensive games in the bundle. Unlike the majority of the games in the bundle, which are given to subscribers on the first of the month, the “early” games are immediately available for download. For March’s bundle, those games are Dark Souls III and its Ashes of Ariandel DLC (The Ringed City is not included in Humble Monthly), the last and possibly best entries in the Dark Souls franchise. The base game has almost a hundred hours worth of gameplay, more if you play the DLC. I honestly do not know if the people at Humble Bundle could have picked a better game to showcase March’s Humble Monthly bundle.

$12 for Dark Souls III and its DLC is an absolute steal, and anyone who purchases the subscription will receive at least seven more games, one of which can’t be obtained anywhere else. While you will have to wait a month for these seven other games, Dark Souls III has more than enough content to last you until March 1st.

All you have to do to get my attention is talk about video games, technology, anime, and/or Dungeons & Dragons - also people in spandex fighting rubber suited monsters.

ReFantazio Takes a Different Approach to Romance, Setting Itself Apart from the Persona Games

Atlus’ highly anticipated RPG, Metaphor: ReFantazio, appears to incorporate familiar systems reminiscent of the developer’s acclaimed Persona series. The game features turn-based battles that heavily rely on exploiting enemy weaknesses. Additionally, players have the ability to summon warrior spirits during combat. However, the most significant aspect of this game, which will be discussed in this article, is the bonding system. Through this system, players can spend time with important characters and gain deeper insights into their personalities and stories.

In contrast to the Persona games, the bonding system ends at that point. Unfortunately, players will be unable to pursue romantic relationships with their beloved waifus, which may come as a disappointment to those who have developed strong feelings for Hulkenberg, the party’s charismatic red-haired elven knight.

According to Siliconera, the absence of romance came up during a recent question and answer session. Atlus emphasized the continued opportunity to develop meaningful relationships with your allies while also introducing additional narratives through substories. In addition, familiarizing yourself with the supporting characters will grant you access to new archetypes, which serve as the game’s character classes.

In the Persona games, romance is not obligatory; rather, it serves as a means to customize your playthrough. However, it is quite unexpected that Metaphor has chosen not to pursue such a venture, considering the significant amount of discussion it typically generates!

Were you anticipating any romantic elements in Metaphor? If you’re not satisfied with your pre-order, feel free to share your thoughts in the comments section below.

It appears that many

are eagerly anticipating the launch of the highly anticipated PS5 exclusive, Stellar Blade. Shift Up, the developer, has shared a lengthy video showcasing the “secrets” found in the physical box of the game for PS5. From what we can gather, these secrets include a reversible cover/dust jacket and a download code for cosmetic items.

We must clarify that while we do appreciate the variant cover, it may be more appealing than the game’s standard art. However, it is not something we would typically classify as a “secret.”. However, what’s interesting is that Shift Up has confirmed through the comments section that this will be the case in all regions. Additionally, the visually striking action RPG will remain uncensored worldwide.

It’s refreshing to witness a developer going the extra mile for physical collectors, and it’s evident that the developer is determined to leave a favorable mark in the console realm. Stellar Blade is set to make its highly anticipated debut this Friday, April 26th, exclusively on the PS5.
