You will also get some seriously dope comic books. All this is made possible by way of the Türkiye-Syria Earthquake Relief Bundle, courtesy of the folks over at Humble Bundle.
Starting at a paltry $43AUD (I have spent far more on far worse lunches) you will get every single item on offer for the bundle – no special contribution bracketing required. You can of course pay more if you wish, because 100% of proceeds is going to Direct Relief, The International Medical Corps and Save the Children relief groups.
To help support Turkiye-Syria earthquake relief efforts, we’ve joined forces with our industry friends for a bundle of games & books to lend aid to the people of the region.
100% of proceeds will go to @DirectRelief, @IMC_worldwide, and @SaveTheChildren.https://t.co/unv9sLdRCE pic.twitter.com/SA1nmjio0b

So what is in the bundle? Estimated at $1,637.54AUD value, there is a range of oldschool bangers, recent classics and deadset awesome indie titles. A few highlights that stood out for me include:
- Ghostrunner – A sick first person cyberpunk slasher that is a thrill to pick up and play
- XCOM 2 – The original frustration alien combat simulator (but you love it all the same)
- PAYDAY 2 – If you don’t own it by now, this is your chance
- Death Squared – The fiendish four player friendship-ruination simulator from SMG studio, Sydney
- System Shock Enhanced Edition – The ancestor of Dead Space and Bioshock still holds up to this day
- System Shock 2 – The sequel to the above, ’nuff said
- Worms Rumble – Everyone needs a Worms game to spice up social gatherings
- Armello – A swashbuckling adventure that feels every bit like a board game come to life
- Calico – YOU RUN A CAT CAFE.
- Zombie Driver HD – Old school carnage and zombie splattering action. This is the ultimate I got 20 minutes and just want to have fun title
- Cris Tales – Look it up on YouTube and I dare you to tell me it doesn’t look dope
- Guilty Gear X2 #Reload – The best fighting game I am routinely garbage at
- Remnants of Naezith – Spider-Man meets Super Meat Boy. Confused? Good.
- 10 volumes of the hit comic series Saga – The epic space opera that tells a very human story via relatable aliens
…And this is only a slice of the titles I am familiar with. There is a monumental number of games and even rulebooks for game systems to play offline – it’s a steal at even triple it’s price. And with the proceeds helping alleviate the trials of people who has suffered one of the most horrific natural disaster of recent times, it’s a very good cause.
Oh, and I suppose I should mention you get Gotham Knights as well. So if the 5/10 score we gave it had you on the fence, this is an inexpensive way to find out if it’s the game for you.
And if it isn’t you cup of tea, you have 71 other things to distract you – winner!
