While Humble Bundle occasionally releases new individual bundles, it also has a Humble Choice service, which resets every month with a set of new titles. This month, the company introduced a large number of titles, most of which are either Verified or Playable on the Steam Deck.
For those wondering, a Verified game runs smoothly on the Steam Deck, and you don’t have to worry about tweaking the settings to optimize performance. On the other hand, Playable games require some adjustments before you can make them run smoothly on the device.

For August 2024, Humble Choice is offering eight titles. The total value of all games combined is around $239.92. However, you can get them by subscribing to the service for $11.99/month.

Any good games?
SIFU is the main highlight of this month’s Humble Choice collection. It is a beat ’em up game where you play as a young Kung Fu student seeking revenge for the murder of his father. The element that makes the game interesting and intense is that whenever you die, your character is resurrected with new abilities but ages. However, he also loses a part of his health. So, if you die too many times, your character will lose all of his health, and you’ll need to start the game from the start. This creates a constant sense of pressure and forces you to improve your play style throughout the game.
High on Life is also another game worth trying. It has a high rating on Steam with more than 14,000 reviews. It throws you into an alien world where you have to fight a variety of enemies using different weapons. However, the guns you’ll use aren’t normal, as most of them talk and have special abilities that will help you greatly in combat. Overall, it provides around 20 hours of gameplay if you want to achieve 100% completion.
