As the first Tuesday of September passed by, Humble introduced its latest edition of the Choice bundle. The monthly selection has been refreshed to offer eight new games for subscribers to keep as Steam keys.

The eight titles of September are Tiny Tina"s Wonderlands plus its season pass, The Forgotten City, Deceive Inc, Aces & Adventures, Patch Quest, Foretales, Who Pressed Mute on Uncle Marcus, and lastly Autonatus vs Piratebots.

The Humble Choice bundle will refresh to bring the next wave of games on September 5, giving you a month to decide on the current selection. The bundle will cost you $11.99 to grab all games, plus it includes some Humble Store benefits like discounts.

Humble also introduced a couple of standard bundles this week, and one of them is the Top-Down Stealth collection.

This carries Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun and its Aiko"s Choice standalone expansion, Tunguska: The Visitation, and Intravenous in the starting tier for $7. Paying the full $11 for the bundle will also get you copies of Serial Cleaners, Mutant Year Zero: Road to Eden, and War Mongrels.

The store also brought back its PC Building Simulator bundle for those looking to jump into the popular sim with some DLC attached. With this, you can get the base game plus nine pieces of additional content for $10.

The Epic Games Store delivered another free game this week too, which as announced last week, is a copy of Spelldrifter. This is the first time that this title has appeared on the store"s weekly promotion too.

Spelldrifter arrives as a mashup of two genres: tactical RPG, with turn-based positional combat, and deck building, offering customizability and replayability. With multiple playable characters to build a party from, the developer Free Range Games says the experience has players managing the resources they have "using both time and space."

The giveaway will last until this coming Thursday, September 14. 911 Operator will take over Spelldrifter"s freebie slot on the same date.
