Humble Bundle's Black Friday Sale

Humble Bundle has some great game deals on for Black Friday and they are even steeper for Humble Choice members. Here are a few of my personal picks from the Black Friday sale.

Satisfactory - $20.99 USD (30% Discount)

Great open-world factory building game in first-person. So many hours spent in Factorio led me to doing the same here. They recently released an update which brought in new Trains stuff and a ton of new options for building visually stunning factories.

This is my favourite chillout game to play when I want to forget about the world for a few hours. If one would consider doing math for ultimate efficiency chillout.

7 Days to Die - $7.49 USD (70% Discount)

The survival crafting game. Its a first person open-world shooter with tower defense elements in the form of zombies. Invite some friends, build a base, and survive the zombie horde. It's a bit on the grindy side but this is some of the most post-apocalyptic fun I've had with friends. The exploration and occasional scare when a zombie jumps out at you makes it an 8/10. It becomes at 11/10 with the fun base building mechanics.

The game has been in early access since the Atari came out, but has seen a ton of updates in that time shaping it into quite the experience. The Alpha 20 patch is targeted for an early December release date on the Experimental branch of the game so now is the perfect time to pick it up! The Alpha 20 update will bring in some new zombies, questing improvements, new craftable weapons, terrain improvements, vehicle modifications, huge new map sizes, and more. I for one can't wait to give the game a go again, probably around the holidays.

Valheim - $15.99 USD (20% Discount)

Vikings. Play it.

But seriously, this is one of those games I picked up on release and logged almost 100 hours in a short period of time. I love the art. Screenshots don't do this game justice because when you're in it, it feels right. Boating brough back memories of Ark, the boss fights although simple were plenty of fun with friends, and building viking lodges to mount your trophies on your wall was super fun to play with the building physics. Being able to shape the land with your tools, creating mountains or carving out rivers is also awesome.

I came for the survival aspect, I stayed for the building and friends. This is easily in my top 3 games that released (early access) this year. It might even be #1. The Hearth and Home update came out a couple of months ago and although I haven't played it yet, the new cooking recipes, stations, and rebalancing of that aspect of the game looks really well done. There's also a ton of new things to build with (like Crystal Walls which are like windows, or that Viking Hot Tub) which is exciting to someone who loves to get creative in games like that.

Grand Theft Auto 5 - $14.99 USD (50% Discount)

It feels a bit strange to put this on a list because it seems like everyone owns it at this point, but it needs to be here. For $15, Grand Theft Auto 5 is one of the best games you can play. The campaign is plenty of fun and has some truly great characters and gameplay but I love the game for online play. Getting to run through crazy heist missions with friends, have sniper battles on the streets of Los Santos with other players, and crash planes into other players trying to complete missions is thrilling to say the least.

The new Los Santos Tuners update for online has been positive with there being some great missions that can be completed solo. That's one thing that Rockstar has been doing better of lately with the game - making good online content that can be done solo if you want. 

Gray Viking Games

Although not Black Friday Deals, Gray Viking Games has instant delivery of codes for MTG Arena which, prior to us becoming an affiliate of, was my favourite way to buy codes online for MTG Arena.

As usual with our promoted Amazon posts, I only like to recommend gear that I've personally used or know people who have had good experiences with it. That's very important to me because although getting a kickback is nice, I'd rather not see folks disappointed. Here's our picks for Black Friday 2021.

  • I don't know why Blizzard can't pull something good for once and make something small on sale for Hearthstone with big discount. For all we know, throwing lets say a $5 for 25 packs for a one time purchase can be a very good gesture of showing love to your base players.

    But after years of nothing, I hate to say it won't happen anyway.

    EDIT. I'm trying to stop saying it, but heck, I'll say it anyway. Blizzard is still Greedy.

    • I do not think anyone was under a different impression?

  • Everything in blizz is up at a sale...all except hearthstone. Like seriously. There are a few 'cheap' bundles, but that's about it. I believe hearthstone has started selling legendaries (at random) now too, but depends if players would consider paying 7 bucks for one legendary as cheap. At least its cheaper than a mercs legendary. Oh well.

    Would also recommend getting satisfactory. If there are people who enjoy these management building games, then this is as good as it gets in a 3d environment. Just be prepared with a notepad because when flux mentions math, he's not kidding. I get lots of enjoyment impossibly crisscrossing my conveyor belts around and pretend its a rollercoster.

    • Ohhh yeah, notepad.exe is my best friend when playing Satisfactory (and Factorio). 

      I'm really looking forward to the holiday update this year again so my present-shaped factory will turn on again and I can see those presents on the conveyer belts again. I'm curious what coffee stain will add to it - if they do. It was neat that last year they had some teaser new parts inside of the advent calendar.

      Even with a high end rig though, damn does Satisfactory run like crap once stuff gets really big. There have been some  good improvements, and glass certainly doesn't help things, but damn it I'm going to make my skyscrapers pretty! I can't wait to check out the recent update once things calm down around the holiday season. I hope it moves off experimental by then.

        Isn't this the truth about all these management games. At very least satisfactory doesn't run that badly until you colonize half the planet. Oxygen not included (another amazing game on sale by the way) chugs my rig even in the mid game (though admitably there's plenty more moving parts there. Every block of air for example is a moving mathematical chalk board)

        • Oh yes, all those types of games are harsh on hardware. That's one of my favourite bits of Factorio because the team made their own engine because nothing else would compare. Their Friday Facts blog posts have been some of the most fun insights into their technical problems with a game in the genre. It has definitely made me see certain things in a different light when it comes to game dev issues (like how they optimized belts back in FF 176).

          Oxygen Not Included has been on the "buy this" list for a while now. Maybe I should finally do it!

  • Message me when DDR5 memory is on sale, lol

    • I know right? DDR5 right now is insanity and I never thought I'd see scalping RAM. I'm hoping DDR5 is a good value buy once AM5 ships later next year because that's ultimately what platform I'd love to be on.

  • How long will the Outofcards code work for Humblebumble? I am not interested in buying any games at the moment but if I can use the code in the future, I would.

  • X-COM 2 is at its lowest price point ever on steam. 5 bucks for a banger of a game

    • I see it for 10EUR, WotC that is. Still a good deal.

      Staff

      • yeah 5 euros for the base game

        • Ah ok, but who would play base game lol :)

          Staff

          • Guys who dont like the sudden appearance of a boss when they're chasing after a time-limited goal? I mean, WotC was a great expansion, but I downloaded that mod that terminated the time limits because the number of times I failed a mission because one of the chosen decided to appear out of nowhere. And some of the chosen upgrades really takes the cake of being annoying as hell: the teleport when hit is a definite highlight.

            • I can understand that the Chosen are not to everyone's liking, but WotC improved upon other things that i could not imagine playing XCOM2 without.

              Speaking of timed missions, when you fight a Chosen, the timer freezes (you have to engage them in combat specifically tho). And there is a resistance order/continent bonus to extend the timer. Or you can just straight up mod it to your liking, hardly an obstacle to instead decide to play base game imho.

    • That's legit! Never played X-COM but I've always heard good things so a $5 buy sounds like a good time.

        Definitely give it a try.  I haven't played it in awhile but that's because I played it so much :P

        I logged so many hours into this game.  I'm actually surprised/dissapointed they have not released XCOM3 yet...(Chimera Squad was ok, but 1) not as much fun IMO and 2) felt like an alternate universe/timeline scenario.)


        On a unrelated note: I noticed how there's a lack of graphics cards in the above list for PC hardware.  :D  (I jest, I know that graphics cards are and have been for the last year or two bought and scalped and therefore are just a hard commodity to get in general...)

        • Yeah I'm pretty bummed out about not being able to list any GPUs. Silicon shortage has been such a pain to deal with. The worst part about it all though IMO is that Nvidia now knows they can get 2 grand for a consumer GPU so I don't expect them to tone the prices down in the future when silicon is no longer the problem.

          Unless... AMD makes something competitive. Though, Intel is also now on the GPU train so maybe they can influence some of the Nvidia prices. That might take a while though since although they've been doing integrated GPUs forever, I don't think they're there yet with their dedicated offerings.

          Maybe when Intel's new Arizona fab opens up in 2024 (if its even on time) that'll give them a better node to work on for their GPUs and they can get some kind of a leg up. I'm really interested in seeing how all the new non-Asia fabs are going to go though. TSMC's Arizona facility should be opening up the same year as Intel's new one (and Intel has an 8-fab mega fab coming in Europe). I don't think we'll see a jump in pricing, but I'm so curious about how the extra diversification across the globe will be for supply chains.

          Definitely went off on a tangent there lol. But yeah, X-COM 2 - I even own the game (through a bundle probably) so there's really nothing stopping me from finally giving it a go at some point. Maybe something to play around the holidays... though if its really good I could see that being a negative lol

          • You'll need my 200 mod mod-list :D
