It’s June, which means the miseries of summer are likely already upon us (at least in this hemisphere). I’ve still got obligations to fulfill, however, so I’ve temporarily come out of cryogenic stasis to tell you about this month’s Humble Choice bundle. The bundle will be available for purchase until Tuesday, July 7th, 2026, at 10 AM Pacific Time. It’s the same drill you’ve all come to expect by now: Eight games are available, all of which can be redeemed on Steam, plus a one-month IGN Plus subscription if you’re interested. Let us begin, before I start to melt!
We begin by discovering there is not just one path laid out before us, but eight, or possibly sixteen. Never mind, pondering that question hurts my brain. The point is, first up this month is Octopath Traveler II, developed and published by Square Enix. Of course, Octopath Traveler II is the sequel to 2018’s Octopath Traveler, a party-based JRPG in which you’ll explore the stories (or “paths”) of eight playable characters, hence the title. I’ve never played either title despite owning them, so I can’t say much beyond that. Octopath Traveler II’s prologue is also available as a free demo on Steam.
Up next is The Riftbreaker, developed and published by EXOR Studios. The Riftbreaker presents itself as a “base-building survival game with action-RPG elements for up to 4 players” in which you’ll have to “hack & slash countless hordes of enemies, build up your base, craft powerful weapons, and research new inventions to survive.” The Riftbreaker has a free demo available on Steam if you want to give it a try. For transparency’s sake, I should also mention that most of The Riftbreaker’s DLC (though not the base game) currently has “mixed” reviews on Steam. Take from that information whatever you will.
Game number three sees Square Enix return to this bundle, this time as the publisher (alongside developer Deck Nine Games) of Life is Strange: Double Exposure. To the surprise of absolutely no one, the Life is Strange franchise is another series I’ve never played, though I have heard quite a lot of positive things about it. After all, life is indeed strange, so I think it’s nice to see a game series acknowledge that. In the interest of full transparency, I should mention that Life is Strange: Double Exposure currently has “mixed” English reviews on Steam at the time of writing.
Next up is Indika, developed by Odd Meter and published by 11 bit studios. Indika purports to be a “third-person, story-driven game set in an alternative Russia at the turn of the nineteenth century.” The tale told within Indika is that of its titular character, “a young nun who sets off on a journey of self-discovery with the most unusual companion by her side, the devil himself.” Something tells me the fact that a nun in that setting and time period has the devil as a companion is likely a strong Indika-tor of how Indika’s peers feel about her.
Game number five is Citizen Sleeper 2: Starward Vector, from developer Jump Over the Age and publisher Fellow Traveller. Citizen Sleeper 2 describes itself as “a dice-driven RPG, in a human and heartfelt sci-fi world.” In Citizen Sleeper 2, “you are an escaped android, with a malfunctioning body, a price on your head, and no memory of your past.” Its core gameplay will require you to “get a ship, find a crew, and take on contracts while you navigate across the Starward Belt.” Starward Vector also includes the free Spindlejack DLC, a real-life tabletop RPG in the same setting as the main game.
Next on the stage is Construction Simulator, developed by Weltenbauer and published by Astragon Entertainment. Astragon Entertainment is well-known for having published all sorts of simulator games that do exactly what they say on the tin, and what we’ve got here is no different. Construction Simulator has a metric ton of DLC available if you want to expand the scope of construction you can simulate within it, though none of that extra content is included in this bundle. However, Construction Simulator and all its DLC are discounted on Steam through June 14th, 2026. This bundle could help you capitalize on that.
Next up is Hell Clock, developed by Rogue Snail and published by Mad Mushroom. Hell Clock purports to allow you to “forge powerful builds with endless loot in this relentless combination of Roguelike and ARPG.” You’ll need to “blast through dungeons and unleash inhuman powers in a dark fantasy twist on Brazil’s War of Canudos.” I had to look up the War of Canudos for this article (thank you, American public education system), but regardless, this strikes me as a really interesting setting for a video game. It also likely helps that I’m a sucker for dark fantasy on top of that.
Last up this month is Overlooting, developed and published by Posing Possums. Overlooting presents itself as an “inventory management Rogue-like” in which you’ll be expected to “adapt your strategy to a skill tree that changes every run, combine pieces of equipment to form powerful synergies, and create a game-changing build capable of defeating the bosses that will try to stop you.” If you ask me, there’s no such thing as “over-looting;” there are only character inventories too small and unprepared to handle more proper amounts of loot, but I digress. That covers everything until July’s Humble Choice bundle launches, folks!
