Humble Bundle dropped 30 years of gaming history for less than $30

The newest Humble Bundle, titled “Bullets, blood, and fun–from id Software,” is offering deals on the Doom franchise and some Wolfenstein games. The highest $28 tier bundles together six Doom games, three Wolfenstein games, and two coupons for the upcoming Doom: The Dark Ages to be released later in 2025. If you’ve ever wanted to own a huge slice of FPS history, this is one of your best opportunities from a third-party seller.

For those unfamiliar with the genre’s history, this Humble Bundle brings the old stars of the show back into the spotlight. The boomer-shooter genre of the ’90s was built on the backs of these two storied franchises, so pairing them up just feels right. There’s something fitting about slaying demons and nazis for a good cause—the benefit of the Direct Relief charity. Like always, the Humble Bundle is a limited-time offer that will only be available until May 10th, so don’t miss your shot.

Is the deal worth it?

For anyone who already owns some of the games or just wants to pick certain games, Humble Bundle offers multiple pricing tiers. This one is broken down into three segments:

On the Humble Bundle official page, they have the value of the total 11-item bundle valued at $194. A quick bit of math says that they’re offering a $166 discount for anyone who doesn’t already own any of the games.

On paper, that looks pretty good, but some reddit users do not quite agree on the value. The top two most upvoted comments in the thread are, “That $28 tier should be like $15,” (via Ozymandias_1303) and “The highest tier is way overpriced,” (via FriesAddiction). A common criticism levied at the bundle throughout the thread is how these decades-old game often go on steep sales, ultimately at lower prices than this bundle offers.

When a game is so good, it gets remastered twice, but this time, it’s better than anyone expected.

However, there is still considerable value here for anyone looking to dive into FPS history that doesn’t already own any of these games. And furthermore, the $5 tier is actually a really solid deal for DOOM 3 and DOOM 64. Even if you don’t grab the whole bundle, it’s an easy excuse to revisit some classic shooters without breaking the bank. Whether you’re filling gaps in your library, reliving some of your classic FPS moments, or just wanting to contribute to a good cause, this is a great way to pay tribute to two of gaming’s most influential franchises.
