Digital Bundle for Racial Justice and Equality - Itch.io

Post by Abs_McBain » Sat Jun 06, 2020 5:25 pm

$5 for 742 games on itch.io
https://itch.io/b/520/bundle-for-racial ... d-equality

I'm pretty sure you can find one game in there that you'd be interested in.

Worth it for Oxenfree, Night in the Woods, A Short Hike, Super Hexagon, Cook, Serve, Delicious! 2!!, Quadrilateral Cowboy, Astrologaster and Glittermitten Grove if you dont have them already.

The rest would appear to mostly be utter dugshite, but good cause and all that. :)

I've got a few of those but Night in the Woods and Short Hike are on my wishlist, so might check it out just for those.

Bought that bundle in the end - there were actually 5 games that were on my Steam wishlist and have been for a while, so for less than £1 each just for those that seems like a bargain.

They've almost doubled the size of the bundle:

Its insane some of the games in there that are easily worth more than the bundle cost alone and have never been as cheap as the bundle cost either.

Yup. I got 6 games out of it I actually want to play, which is pretty sweet. Minor complaints aside - navigating the Itch library with so many games looking for the few you actually want was a complete ballache - that's excellent value.

Notable games added as far as I can see are Nuclear Throne, Celeste, GNOG, Hidden Folks, Windosill, Octodad, Runner 3 and Six Match.

Make no mistake though there is a frightening amount of pish in there. I nearly lost the will to live scrolling through them all.

I reckon if they cut out all the shite and just had the headliners they may arguably make more money as the cream wouldn't be buried in lashings of excrement.

I bet there’s a bunch that look like a whole lot of gash that are actually great. We need a to tackle them all as a forum and rate everything.

Ok, well we've got 71 users, so we each need to test 19 games. I call Celeste and Night in the Woods. Now we just need to come up with a foolproof testing and scoring system.

If we each take our share of 17 lesbian adventures and gay point and clicks we'll be through them in jig time!

We could rate them on wokeness and inclusivity. :)

There is an outrageous amount of value in this bundle and I think eVol is correct that a lot of the stuff that might look naff will be good.

Here are a few of my recommendations: Old Man's Journey, the Hex, the White Door and Astrologaster are all worth playing. Below is a list of games that I think might be worth checking out.

A Mortician's Tale
Beacon
Witchway
Loot Rascals
Depth of Extinction
Anodyne
Wheels of Aurelia
OneShot
Underhero
The Stillness of the Wind
Football Drama
Flameberge
The Novelist
Tallowmere

I've made a random selection tool, I've tried to remove anything that isn't a game.
