We all need that special someone who sparks our drive to become the best version of ourselves. For me, that inspiration is Jesse Faden from the game Control. Let’s be honest—who wouldn’t admire a character who flies, wields telekinetic powers, and totally rocks a leather jacket while communicating with mysterious dark obelisks? If you’re on the hunt for your own source of inspiration, consider diving into the Humble Heroines bundle. It’s a steal at just $12 for seven incredible games featuring strong leading characters.
Control has captured my heart not only for its uniquely atmospheric vibe but also for its protagonist’s impeccable style. My current gaming obsession from this bundle is Kill the Crows. This intense, fast-paced twin-stick shooter lets you channel your inner gunslinger, taking out vengeful crows with a six-shooter and a quick-draw mechanic that would make any Red Dead fan proud. Other noteworthy titles in this bundle include Darksiders 3, Thief of Thieves, Pseudoregalia, Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous, and Beyond: Two Souls.
Like many bundles out there, this one ensures that your purchase goes beyond just gaming. A portion of the proceeds is directed towards supporting nonprofit organizations. In this case, your dollars will help fund Girls Who Code and the Girls Make Games Scholarship Fund. Both initiatives are working hard to bridge the gender gap in fields like programming, game development, and other STEM areas. If you’d like to decide how your contribution is distributed, the “Adjust Donation” menu lets you choose how much goes to Humble, the game publishers, or the participating charities.
