Should I keep this month's humble monthly

So I subscribed last month for Hellblade, but forgot to cancel my subscription afterwards. Oops.

Should I ask for a refund, or keep this month's bundle? It didn't really appeal to me too much, I haven't played any proper city builders before, and I've got a big backlog so Kingdom Come wasn't really on my radae. But it looks like one of the best value bundles in a while, so maybe I could keep it, trade off the keys if the rest of the unlocks don't appeal?

So I started HB sometime last year and my 2 cents are:

You get a handful of other games that aren't revealed until the bundle is over. This is usually 4-6 more games.

There is almost NEVER a "hit" (i.e. AAA) game in those extra games although there is very often a "good" game or one you simply didn't expect. This worked out well for me recently as one of the extras was War Hammer 40K Mechanicus which is a very good turn based strategy games and I happen to really enjoy those types of games.

The thing is though if you have no interest or very little interest in the 1 or 2 big titles that are revealed then it's pretty unlikely the unrevealed games will be enough to warrant what you paid for that month. You'll just have several games that are more or less worthless to you though I guess you could try trading them or giving them away with friends, etc.

For the future - you can also choose to "skip a month" rather than cancel your subscription outright. This lets you ignore one month if you don't like the offerings, etc.

However being as it was recently billed you should be able to get a refund as long as the two game codes you have early access to haven't been redeemed yet by you.

It's up to you. Both are good games that I'd recommend, but if their not your kind of games, they probably won't win you over.
If the codes aren't revealed, you can get a refund.
If you have the time, you could make a profit by reselling the keys instead; subs like r/SteamGameSwap and r/indiegameswap allow this.

You may be able to get a refund. I was able to. Granted, I hadn’t redeemed any of the codes yet.

I bought the yearly subscription and i almost never cancel because there are usually some fun games which are not aaa. But ofcourse you just need to decide for yourself if its worth it to you.

I already openend and installed kingdom come (havnt tried yet) and surviving mars (awesome game but my pc is a bit shitty for this one). I probably wont play them but to me it was worth it.
