Alongside Steam and Origin, there's another very popular digital games storefront called Humble Bundle. One of its more unique features alongside selling individual games is the Humble Monthly Bundle subscription. For $12 each month you get sent at least $100 worth of curated games, which are yours to keep. If that wasn't good enough value, the value proposition just got even better with the introduction of Humble Trove.
Humble Trove is currently in beta and offers an extension to the games on offer in the monthly bundle. You'll still get the curated games for $12 every month, but now there will be ongoing access to a full catalog of Humble Originals and other DRM-free games offered under the Trove heading. Originals refers to any game that received funding from Humble and is only available through its platform.
As long as your subscription remains active, games listed on Trove are available to download and play with the catalog expanding every month. End your subscription and Trove access ends too, but that doesn't stop you continuing to play the games you already downloaded. They just won't be available to download again until you re-subscribe.

At the time of writing there's 19 games available through Humble Trove including Dustforce DX, Volgarr, Starseed Pligrim, Strike Suit Zero, Cat Girl Without Salad, Trine: Enchanted Edition, Shelter, Disc Room, Copoka, Elephant in the Room, Gunmetal Arcadia Zero, Spoolside, Keyboard Sports, Yojimbrawl, Kimmy, Oh, Deer!, Uurnog, Jawns, and A2Be.
The Humble Monthly Bundle with access to Humble Trove costs $12 for a one month recurring plan. That price comes down if you subscribe for longer periods of time with the cheapest being a 12 month recurring plan costing $11 per month ($132 for the year). If you enjoy playing a lot of new games every month it's certainly a subscription worth considering.
