* Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous https://store.steampowered.com/app/1184370/Pathfinder_Wrath_of_the_Righteous/ Essentially, this is "Baldur's Gate" for the Pathfinder table-top RPG
system. Basically the same monsters and rules, except tweaked just
enough to be legally distinct. It's a completely different setting and
story too. But the short of it is: if you liked "Baldur's Gate",
you'll probably like this game; if not, move on.
Anyway, that's this month's selection. Humble continues to stumble
along the line between being worth it and not; of the above, only one
game really excites me, and the others are okay but not anything I'd
go out of my way to acquire (and one I'd usually avoid). Still,
"Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous" normally sells for $40USD, so
picking it up for 1/3rd the price means I'll stay subscribed for at
least another month. But I'm not sure I'd recommend the service to new >gamers...

Pathfinder sells for $50 on Steam and from what I can see, it
definitely looks like Baldur's Gate. This is the only game in your
list that interests me so I am probably better off just buying this
one when it goes on sale on any site that hands out Steam keys.
I always feel sorta icky shilling for Humble because - overall - I
feel their product isn't providing the sort of value that it used to,
and that it shouldn't be rewarded for being worse. But if there's
that one game you want and it's cheaper than you could get it
elsewhere... well, you'd be silly not to grab it. IMHO, YMMV, etc.

I already have an account with Humble Bundle. I have purchased bundle
deals from them before. In fact, that is how I ended up with an extra
copy of Icewind Dale to give away. But I never signed up for their
membership thing to get that bundle deal.
I want to make sure I understand this. If I sign up for their
membership thingy for $11.99, will I instantly get all of those games
you mentioned? Then I can cancel my membership and not pay another
dime?
Now I've shilled for the corporation two posts in a row. I need to
take a shower.
For those who are interested in this sorta thing, HumbleChoice games
for February 2023 are now available

This month, we're getting the following games
(note: links below are to Steam for descriptive purposes, not where
you get the games. If you wanna claim 'em, you gotta go to the
HumbleChoice website and pay for the privilege. Still, it's $12USD for
the bundle, so it's not as if you'd be paying a lot ;-)

* Fallout 76 (w/Fallout 1) https://store.steampowered.com/agecheck/app/1151340/
This one needs little introduction: it's a Bethesda Fallout game...
but online! Wander post-nuclear Virginia, collect loot, kill monsters.
After an extremely rocky start the game is greatly improved from
launch (although it's still the weakest of the bunch). If you're an
MMORPG fan and love Fallout, this is probably a must get. Otherwise?
Ehn. (But it does come with the original Fallout game from 1995, if
that sweetens the pot)
* Thronebreaker: The Witcher Tales
* Othercide
* Shady Part of Me
* Fobia - St. Dinfna Hotel
* Five Dates
