We all need a source of inspiration, someone who pushes us to be our best selves. For me, that person is Jesse Faden from Control. There’s just something about her—imagine a flying, telekinetic force of nature who effortlessly sports a leather jacket while interacting with mysterious dark obelisks. It ticks every box for me. If you’re on the lookout for your own heroes, the Humble Heroines bundle is a worthy contender. It offers seven captivating games featuring compelling lead characters, all for a mere $12.
Admittedly, I’m a huge fan of Control because of its stunning aesthetics and Jesse’s enviable style. But my latest fascination from this collection is Kill the Crows. It’s an adrenaline-pumping twin-stick shooter where you take down vengeful crows with a six-gun, complete with a quick-draw mechanic reminiscent of Red Dead. The bundle also includes other noteworthy games like Darksiders 3, Thief of Thieves, Pseudoregalia, Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous, and Beyond: Two Souls.
Like many bundles out there, purchasing this one supports a good cause. Part of the proceeds will benefit nonprofits like Girls Who Code and the Girls Make Games Scholarship Fund. These organizations are doing commendable work to narrow the gender gap in fields like programming and game development. Before finalizing your purchase, you can decide on the allocation of your funds through the "Adjust Donation" menu, allowing you to choose how much goes to Humble, the publishers, or these deserving charities.
