Right now, you can get lots of very special games for very little money, which Kevin and Dani highly recommend.
There are games that are simply excellent, but deter many players for various reasons. Whether it’s the graphics, which are a bit outdated, or the genre, whose gameplay is off-putting at first. There are many reasons – or let’s say “excuses” – to ignore these games.
Luckily, you have us to convince you otherwise. Because otherwise, you’ll be missing out on some truly brilliant gaming gems.
But now let’s get down to business. We’re talking about the current Duo of Justice bundle from Humble. Here you can get the Capcom classics Mega Man and Phoenix Wright for very little money. As usual, the bundle has various payment options, but we recommend the cheapest one if you want to try it out first.
For less than six euros, you get:
Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney Trilogy
Dani ~ : If you ask me about my absolute favorite games, I will definitely mention these three. Rarely has a story and its characters moved me as much as attorney Phoenix and his friends and business partners.
This slightly over-the-top crime game achieves what few others do: it walks the fine line between clever humor and emotional stories. It not only makes use of excellent plot twists, but also smart puzzles and outstanding dialogue.
You can easily spend 50 hours playing the trilogy alone. If you’re then fully caught up in detective fever, there’s plenty more where that came from with the Apollo Justice Trilogy and the Investigations Collection. You can get discount codes for both in the cheapest bundle.
And if you already fully trust my recommendation, you can also spend $36 and buy “The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles” as well. The latter ranks second on my personal Phoenix Wright ranking.
Heaps of Mega Man Collections
Kevin~ : There are few games that still play as well as Mega Man after almost 40 years. But Mega Man is special: an action platformer that not only significantly advanced the genre, but also remains the benchmark to this day. I spent so many hours as a little blue robot overcoming deadly chasms and shooting enemy robots to pieces, only to fail at the boss because I had the wrong weapon equipped. Classic Mega Man, in other words.
But: Capcom’s Legacy Editions at least give you the chance to make the game a little easier. I use quicksaves to save before boss fights – this makes this extremely difficult series accessible to all those who may not have the reflexes to juggle eight knives in the air.
And the Humble Bundle package is really impressive: you not only get the original six Mega Man games for the NES, but also the sequels Mega Man 7 to 10, as well as the complete (and equally fantastic) spin-off series Mega Man X (parts 1 to 8). Okay, and Mega Man Battle Network, but I never really warmed to that one.
So if you’re looking for hours of finger training for your Steam Deck, Mega Man is still one of the best games you can add to your library. Promise.
