Back before THQ entered the burning hellfires of bankruptcy it ran the Humble THQ Bundle, raising the ailing publisher more than $5 million. I’ve a hunch the Humble Deep Silver Bundle may fall short of that. It contains Saints Row 3 and all its DLC (Yay) but also Risen 2: Dark Waters (boo) and Dead Island: Riptide (boo-er).
Very much a mixed bag.
Here are the contents for those that don’t want to go to the website or watch the video above:
-
Saints Row 2
-
Saints Row 3
-
Risen 2: Dark Waters
-
Sacred 2 Gold
Beat the average and you get Dead Island GOTY and all of Saints Row 3’s DLC. Pay over $25 and you’ll get Dead Island: Riptide.
If you’ve not got Saints Row 3 or Dead Island then this is a bundle worth picking up. Dead Island’s received a lot of flack but it had some interesting ideas at heart, it was just nothing like the original teaser trailer, which formed a cheated response from some of its early players. And this is as cheap as you’ll likely see them.
However, Riptide and Risen 2 both received poor reviews on release. Riptide for being a bland rehash of the first game and Risen 2 for becoming something of a mess of interlinking systems. It might be worth giving Risen a shot, simply to see where it went wrong, but it may not be an enjoyable experience.
You can put money down on the bundle over here.
