The latest Humble Bundle is headlined by solid adventuring in the form of Broken Sword 5 and Cognition, amongst others.
The Humble Weekly Bundle: Adventures! – named just to annoy those of us who hate putting terminal punctuation marks in the middle of sentences – is the usual tiered affair. $10 nets you the whole lot, but let’s see what you can get for cheaper.
Well, the Pay-What-You-Want-As-Long-As-It’s-$1-If-You-Want-Steam-Keys tier (and I really need to find a shorter way of saying that) will net you the superb Broken Sword and Broken Sword 2, The Whispered World: Special Edition, and Detective Grimoire. I bought Detective Grimoire ages ago, and I still haven’t played it, because that’s basically what I do. It looks interesting, but I can’t comment on its quality.
If you pay more than the average ($3.99 at the time of writing) you also get the Peter-approved The Detail: Episode 1, A Golden Wake, and Cognition, an adventure series that you lot gave a Readers’ Award to several years back. For Best Adventure, if I remember correctly!
Finally, paying $10 nets you Broken Sword 5, a game that is significantly better when played as one solid whole rather than as two episodes. I’d also argue it’s better than Broken Sword 3 and 4, so for $10, you basically get the best Broken Sword games in the series – and it’s a rather good series. Let’s not forget that Broken Sword 5 is still sold on its own for around £20, too.
