Humble Choice August 2026 is live — Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth leads a packed month of games

We're more virtually two thirds of the way through the big 2026 as we enter the month of August. With a new month also comes a new array of games to get your teeth stuck into if you're a Humble Choice subscriber.

This month's picks include a vast array of titles whose value far exceeds the princely £11.49/$14.99 monthly price tag for the Humble Choice subscription, and it's quite the strong selection of games, too, including games we particularly like across a wide range of genres, such as RPG, adventure and strategy. We've played a handful of the titles here, which each of them earning a hearty recommendation, and for the ones that we haven't, some of them at least are worth a go, right?

And now for a little more detail - Like A Dragon: Infinite Wealth first released back in January 2024, and received a 4/5 review from contributor Kaan Serin when it rolled around. His top-line takeaway was that Like A Dragon: Infinite Wealth is "another endlessly endearing crime epic" that tightens up the game's RPG credentials against its predecessors, all the while introducing an intriguing setting in Hawaii. It sees Ichiban Kasuga go to the island state in the seatch of his long-lost mother, entagling with the series' often resurrected main character Kazuma Kiryu on a similar mission. The game features an arrray of interesting side quests, considered cinematography and some surprisingly fun missions over the course of a fifty hour campaign. Plenty to get stuck into if you want the Like A Dragon in a different setting.

We haven't actually reviewed Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder's Revenge per se, although former EiC Martin Robinson's May 2022 feature on the game gives a strong account of the title, calling it a "side-scrolling beat 'em-up that feels remarkably fresh." He thinks it's a worthy successor to Streets of Rage 4, and think that Shredder's Revenge has a rhythmical quality and flow that makes it stand out from the stated inspirations - it is fast paced, but that's all part of the fun. It certainly looks like a fantastic choice if you're after a classic, fast-paced arcade beat-em-up.

Dead Cells launched back in 2018 and earned a Eurogamer Recommended badge in Edwin Evans-Thirlwell's review from the time, he called it a "swaggering, macabre role-playing beat-'em-up that's very easy on the eyes and dense with secrets". His review noted it's more of a macabre action platformer, complete with permadeath, randomised rewards and stages that are procedurally generated. It discusses that the main character of the piece is a "delight to control" with "brisk three-hit combos" alongside the ability to "double-jump, block or parry, slither around ledges, kick down doors to stun nearby foes and slam earthwards mid-jump to pulverise anything beneath." It's the animations and swish combat that are the main draw alongside its surprisingly complex dynamics and rewards system, which is why Edwin was so enthusiastic about it at the time. You also get the Bad Seed DLC with this bundle, entitling you a new expansion pack that unlocks a new optional side route in the early part of the game, complete with new enemies and a new boss to fight.

None of the other games present in this August 2026 bundle are ones that EG has strictly reviewed, although they're still certainly worth a mention here as part of the fun. Decktamer is the first one here, which is a roguelite deckbuilder where you assemble a series of monsters to take on an increasingly difficult set of enemies. Intriguingly, each battle lets you choose between two different enemy lineups with different rewards, so you’ll have to decide which one looks more enticing at that point in the game. You can also capture any monster in the game, except for the final bosses, and turn them into allies, which works in a similar vein to Pokemon. This was a popular game when it launched on Steam a couple of years ago, and might be worth a go if you like a deckbuilder.

Moving onto Conquest Dark, this is an early access ARPG that throws you in naked and unarmed against waves of undead, tasking you with rapidly building up your character's power through what the game calls Dark Ritual runs. It leans into the "survivors-like" genre popularised by titles like Vampire Survivors, but layers in proper ARPG systems, with five base classes, rune sockets, and faction progression all combining to make for some seriously deep build-crafting. The setting itself is a fittingly grim one, too - 237 years after a mysterious Black Planet arrived and toppled the old cosmic order, you're one of the champions and criminals turning to Dark Rituals to take the fight back to whatever's left. Class choice matters quite a bit here: go Barbarian and you're leaning into big two-handed melee damage, pick the Oathkeeper and you get a more paladin-ish mix of melee, thrown weapons and burning effects, while the Acolyte of Kuu trades all that in for ranged magic, freezing crowd control and a handy teleport to reposition out of trouble. The game leans hard into that theorycrafting itch, letting you chain together weapon sets, abilities and passive stat boosts across a run in ways that rarely feel repetitive. If you like the idea of going from zero to overpowered within a single sitting, this could be one to sink plenty of hours into.

Gatekeeper, meanwhile, is a co-op focused rogue-lite shooter where you and up to three friends take on hordes of machine enemies across a handful of otherworldly locations, all in pursuit of a stolen artefact - depending on which version of the game's fiction you go by, either the Heart of the Universe or the Heart of Time, though the core hook stays the same either way. With nine playable Guardian classes and over a hundred items that can shake up a run, there's a decent amount of variety to be found here, and the option to tackle it all in four-player co-op makes it a solid pick if you're after something to play with mates. Each Guardian handles quite differently, with distinct weapons and abilities on offer, and the game rewards experimenting with all of them rather than settling into one favourite, since you'll gradually unlock more of their potential as you push further into its five explorable destinations. Reviews since launch have generally been positive, with players responding well to the character variety, the soundtrack and the sheer number of artefacts on offer.

Pile Up! takes things in a much more laid-back direction. It's a turn-based city builder where you place buildings on a small island to grow your population and unlock new structures and islands, but with a catch: some of your buildings are inherently risky, and one wrong move can send your carefully constructed town tumbling down. It's a chill experience on the surface, but with just enough jeopardy bubbling underneath to keep you on your toes. The developers, a small team of high schoolers based in Turkey working under the name Remoob, have leaned into a minimalist, stylised art style that gives the whole thing a cosy, almost toy-like quality, and there's a genuinely charming mascot in the form of a small whale who pops up throughout your playthrough. Randomised elements mean no two islands will play out quite the same way, so if you enjoy games that reward a bit of calculated risk-taking alongside the usual city-building satisfaction, it's worth a look, even if it is still technically in early access.

Finally, there's Dark Envoy, a party-based cRPG set in a steampunk-tinged world where magic and technology are at war. You'll lead a group of relic hunters through real-time combat that can be slowed to a crawl for more tactical decision-making, mixing classic RPG systems like skill trees and loot with a modern approach to encounter design. Character building leans on a fairly familiar tank, healer and damage-dealer structure at its core, but the skill trees branching off from each class seem to be deep enough, so that builds rarely feel like carbon copies of one another, and the itemisation has been singled out by players as one of its strongest hooks, scratching that particular loot-chasing itch that fans of Diablo-likes will recognise. If you're after meaty, build-focused combat in the vein of Baldur's Gate 3 or Pillars of Eternity, it's worth a look.

As a reminder, Humble Choice members get the added perk of up to 20% off in the Humble store, too. On top of that, 5% of your Humble Choice membership goes to support a charity each month, and August's is Oceana.

I think that's all there really is to say on this rather varied and rich Humble Choice bundle for August 2026 - if you've been eyeing up, then the £11.49/$14.99 monthly price tag seems worth it - just remember you've only got until September 1st to grab it, and that time is likely to go more quickly than you expect.
