Alright gang, I've owned every game bar one in the last two humble choices (well, and I refuse to use origin). I don't pay for it so I'm not bothered by missing out, but I am bothered by the absence of claimed stickers and the fact humble don't guarantee keys you've bought will always be available. So if you want a game in this list, tell me and I'll send you the key. I don't know how popular this will be, so let's say you can request one game every 24 hours, and in two days we'll reassess.

Tomb Raider 1 - 3 Remastered - do you like jumping puzzles and cubic women? I like her outfit in number 2, she's still wearing hotpants, but she's in the snow so she puts a jacket on. Smart.

Dredge - fishing game with lovecraftian horror elements. Or lovecraftian unease elements, it's never really scary. It's more relaxing (don't say the c word) and I feel like it would be a better fit for mobile gaming.

Aliens Dark Descent - isometric Aliens tactics game. Great game until you optimise the fun out of it, which it basically forces you to do through its unrelenting pace.

1000xResist - I haven't actually played this game, but it's a very well rated adventure game apparently. It has an interesting premise, you are one of many clones of the only human to survive the arrival of extraterrestrial life, and that human, who now rules the world, is harbouring some dark secrets you have to uncover.

Diplomacy is not an option - a great little rts in the 'try not to get overrun by swarms of enemies' genre, very addictive.

Distant worlds 2 - the sequel to Distant Worlds I guess, which was a 4x game set in space that was alright. Another game I didn't realise I already owned and can't really speak about.

Nomad survival - A vampire survivors style auto battler, I wouldn't put it in the same league as VS (but what is?) but it's up there with the likes of Nova Drift and Brotato imo. If you like synergising your skills in these games you'll have a blast I think.

Pacific Drive - a driving survival game. I just keep putting off playing this game for some reason, it's like the Andor of video games - everyone tells me it's great, but the thought of sitting through the set up puts me off and I go play Elden Ring/watch Newsradio again instead. It comes with all its dlc too though.

Homeworld 3 - I am so glad I didn't have to pay money for this, what a miserable excuse for a sequel. If you want to see the train wreck for yourself you shouldn't pay for it either - so take my key.

Wild Hearts - Omega Force's attempt at Monster Hunter is how this game was sold to me, but it's EA so I never looked into it.

Tales of Kenzera: Zau - I am pretty pissed this is an Origin title because I'll give any metroidvania as shot, even an EA one, but if I'm being honest I don't expect much because its African theming lowers expectations. I'd like to be wrong about that though, if you grab it you have to tell me how it goes.

Gravity Circuit - Gravity Circuit is not a Mega Man Zero game, but it really would like to be one. It gets pretty close, but the controls feel way too slippy to me. Banger soundtrack though.

Sir Whoopass - an open world action adventure game that doesn't take itself seriously at all. It's a lot of fun to start, crammed to the gills with dumb jokes, but gets a bit repetitive.

Racine - a deck building auto battler. I don't understand it at all, but I have 15 hours in it because I like the background music.

Cavern of Dreams - a cute little collectathon that wears its n64 inspiration on its sleeve. Not a very big or complex game, but it's fun to play with little ones.

Anyway like I said, tell me which game you'd like and I'll pm you the code!
