Humble Bundle game collections usually offer fantastic deals, but this month is especially eye-catching since it gives you access to eight positively reviewed games, including Persona 5 Royal, Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden, My Time at Sandrock, Let’s School, Lil Gator Game, Tiny Terry’s Turbo Trip, Wildmender, and Warpips.

Best of all, you get to play these games that are valued at $249.92 altogether for just $14.99 total.

Honestly, paying $15 for Persona 5 Royal on its own or the criminally underrated Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden RPG alone would have been worth it. So, if you’re at all interested, I suggest jumping on this deal.

Curious to learn more about all of the games in August’s Humble Bundle? Here’s a brief breakdown for each:

Persona 5 Royal ($59.99 value)

What is Humble Bundle?

Humble Bundle is a subscription that gives members access to limited-time game bundle deals. At the time of writing, the service only costs $14.99 a month, and often provides significant discounts on popular titles.

A fantastic collection at a fraction of the cost

If you’re someone who likes to collect and play a wide variety of PC games, then a Humble Bundle subscription is one of the best ways to do so. Plus, it will make your wallet happy with all of the money it saves you.

Indeed, paying only $15 for this group of eight games valued at $250 provides you with hundreds of hours of entertainment at a sliver of the collection’s overall value.

For anyone unsure where to start, I suggest trying Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden. I had this game on my wishlist for several months before playing it, and it was definitely worth the purchase. The game is creepy, with engaging combat, and a story that evolves depending on the choices I make. I was drawn in and enjoyed my time playing it.

Otherwise, I recommend jumping into Persona 5 Royal. It’s one of those charming JRPGs that will stick with you forever. You’ll navigate friendships, stop baddies, and more. Plus, the story is relatively long, so you’ll really be able to sink your teeth into this adventure.
