I suppose I “May” as well cover the newest Humble Choice bundle. May 2026’s Humble Choice bundle is live now and will be available for purchase until Tuesday, June 2nd, 2026, at 10 AM Pacific Time. As a change of pace, there’s a slight deviation from the norm with this bundle: Eight games are still on offer, but one of them can only be redeemed via Blizzard Entertainment’s Battle.net platform rather than Steam. There’s also still the usual one-month IGN Plus subscription available for anyone interested in getting some perks on the website whose parent company owns Humble Bundle. Let’s begin!

First up is that deviation from the norm I mentioned, namely Diablo IV. As far as I can tell, the version of Diablo IV available in this bundle is the base version, without any expansions or other DLC. Diablo IV is available on Steam (along with all its downloadable content), but this bundle only offers keys redeemable via Battle.net. I suspect Diablo IV is present in this bundle because its expansion, Lord of Hatred, just launched at the end of last month. The base version of Diablo IV has “mixed” Steam reviews, though the Lord of Hatred expansion has “mostly positive” reviews.

Following that, we’ve got Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance, developed by Atlus and published by Sega. I’d suspect much of our readership is familiar with this franchise and its spin-off, Persona, but here’s a brief explanation from its Steam Store page for anyone (like me) who isn’t. Shin Megami Tensei V will see you “become a mighty demigod and battle through a decimated Tokyo in a war between angels and demons. Make new allies along your journey, engage in intense, turn-based combat, recruit hundreds of demons and forge your own path to dictate the fate of all existence.

Game number three, very fittingly, is Crysis 3 Remastered, developed and published by Crytek. All I know about the Crysis series is that the original Crysis spawned tons of ancient Internet memes because it demanded absurdly powerful computer hardware to run properly. My understanding is that that’s since been addressed, especially with the remastered versions of all three Crysis titles, but I can’t speak to that in either direction. When I eventually get around to playing the Crysis series, all I can do is hope it doesn’t make my computer cry(sis). That’s not my best pun, but it’ll do.

Next on the stage this month is Heroes of Hammerwatch II, developed by Crackshell and published by Team17. Heroes of Hammerwatch II presents itself as a “rogue-lite action RPG that offers extensive persistent progression.” Its core gameplay loop will require you to “build your town” and “upgrade and equip your heroes before taking on the ever-changing Dark Citadel – either solo or with a team of friends.” Coincidentally, this bundle contains several games I’ve had on my wishlist for some time, and Heroes of Hammerwatch II is one of them. Maybe this is just the push I need to try this one out.

Following that, we’ve got Nordhold, from developer StunForge and publisher HypeTrain Digital. Nordhold is a Roguelite tower defense game set in Norse mythology, as you might have guessed from the term “Nord.” Nordhold will require players to “build your city, grow the economy, and prepare for enemy waves. Strengthen your defenses, adapt your strategy, and unleash your hero’s full potential.” For the sake of transparency, I should point out that Nordhold has “mixed” recent reviews on Steam as of the time of this article’s publication, though it also has “very positive” reviews overall on Steam. Take from that information whatever you will.

Game number six is Rogue Waters, developed by Ice Code Games and published by Tripwire Presents. As its title suggests, Rogue Waters is a “Pirate Tactical Turn-Based Rogue-lite” in which you’ll “play as Captain Cutter, commanding your ship and crew through procedurally generated encounters to seek revenge. Recruit, train, and upgrade crew, use powerful sea creatures, and engage in dynamic naval and melee combat to gain the upper hand.” Rogue Waters is another game in this bundle that has “mixed” recent reviews on Steam at the time of writing. Nevertheless, yar-har, fiddle dee dee, Rogue Waters might still be alright with me.

This bundle’s penultimate offering is Cubic Odyssey, developed by Atypical Games and published by Gaijin Network Ltd. Cubic Odyssey purports to be “an open-world adventure where you explore vibrant planets, craft tools, build vehicles, and fight the Red Darkness.” The core gameplay of Cubic Odyssey will expect players to “uncover ancient mysteries, and shape a universe full of life, danger, and limitless possibilities.Cubic Odyssey has several pieces of downloadable content available, none of which are included in this bundle as far as I can tell. Cubic Odyssey also has a playable demo available on Steam if you want to try it out.

Finally, we have Mini Settlers, developed by Knight Owl Games (I appreciate that pun) and published by Goblinz Publishing. Mini Settlers presents itself as “a minimalistic city builder,” which will expect players to “settle islands, construct cities, and design efficient logistic networks to fulfill your buildings’ needs and fuel population growth to adventure into new worlds.” Despite its title and similar genre, Mini Settlers is not part of the same franchise as Mini Metro and Mini Motorways. Mini Settlers offers both a playable demo and a free playable prologue on Steam if you want to try it out before buying this bundle.
