And just when I thought that I was going to catch up on all these [Humble Bundle](https://www.humblebundle.com/monthly?refc=Zio8ho) Drops... I leave them alone for a little bit and all of a sudden I'm about 6 months behind again. So, probably time to start checking in on the webpage and start claiming my games and writing about them again!

... and so, this is a bit of a missed drop for me. There wasn't much in there that was personally interesting, except for Persona 5 Strikers... but I had already bought that on a Steam Sale! Sigh, I don't know how many times I have to tell myself this... but I should just avoid buying things in the Steam Sales, however attractive they are... because, lots of the good stuff does end up appearing here on [Humble Bundle](https://www.humblebundle.com/monthly?refc=Zio8ho). And it's not like I'm itching to play things on a first day release... in fact, I'd be lucky to get around to firing up a game within about 3 years of its release!

First up is Remnant 2... it bills itself as a "souls-like" co-op or single player shooter. I think I might have liked this a bit more when I was younger... but I don't have the patience for co-op games... and ones that are designed with co-op in mind don't always make for good single player games. Plus, the atmosphere looks pretty interesting.... but I'm a chicken, and it might just end up being too scary for me. So, I'm think that this one is going into the games store pile... 

... and the next, Persona 5 Strikers, an offshoot to the incredibly popular Persona 5! This is definitely my sort of game, I do love the Persona games... even if I do find it hard to finish them. At the moment, I'm currently stuck in Persona 5 on a particularly tricky boss which requires me to grind a bit more to level up enough to beat... I'm not a fan of grinding, but it is a pretty integral component... but the battles do start to drag out when you are just blind pummeling the opposition without breaking a sweat. But that boss keeps just wiping me out... So, a game store game here, only because I was silly enough to have already bought it in a Steam Sale. 

Jusant is an interesting looking game... beautiful art style, and a novel adventure puzzle game about climbing a spire of sorts. It is definitely more in the artistic category of gaming, and I might just claim it just because of that. I'm hoping that this will run on the Deck, as it does seem like a great way to peacefully pass some time before concerts!

Dome Keeper was the first game that I had claimed from this batch. A rogue-like mining/defence game... simple in style and mechanics, but just interesting enough to while away a few minutes on a bus or in the green room on the Steam Deck. I played it during a week of concerts, but I lost interest after that. But still, for the price of an eighth of a [Humble Bundle](https://www.humblebundle.com/monthly?refc=Zio8ho) subscription, it was worth it! 

Jack Move is a retro JRPG... I'm not really a fan of the retro style of gaming, and even less so of JRPGs. Did I mention that I hate the grinding aspects of those types of games? Anyway, Jack Move might be an interesting story and all of that... but I'm afraid I just can't sit through the 90s style of RPGs.... straight to the keys store!

Station to Station looks like a relaxed builder... but builder of railways... similar in style to Dorf-Romantik?  I do like Dorfromantik as a casual gentle puzzle game... and one of my kids does as well, so I think that Station to Station is worth claiming just to see if it scratches that same peaceful builder vibe!

Remnant Records... ummmm... did I mention that I'm a chicken? If I played this game, I would not sleep for the next year. Pass!!!!!

McPixel 3... blocky retro graphics that remind me of Lesuire Suit Larry... and a trailer that looks like it is cRaZy!!!!! I have a deep aversion to the game even before I read any further. Pass!!!
