Humble Choice of January 2020 has come to greet us with a whopping twelve games to choose from. Unfortunately for all of us, we can’t take them all and toss them into our library.
Personally, just from the fact that this is the second Humble Choice to unravel before me, I’m actually pleasantly surprised by some of the games, and the fact that I get to actually choose what I might want and what I’d like to pass on. Don’t get me wrong, there’s always the games I’ll give a hard pass to, but otherwise, I’m happy about all this.
Don’t have Humble Choice yet? The heck are you waiting for? Try it out!
