    Titles that are certainly heard of far and wide, like, uh.....


    The Swapper
    Super Hexagon
    Sproggiwood
    shutshimi
    Secrets of Raetikon
    Robot Roller-Derby Disco Dodgeball
    Tumblestone
    Ballistick
    Dusty Revenge: Co-Op Edition
    Luna's Wandering Stars
    Monster Loves You
    Potatoman Seeks the Troof
    Maize
    Scanner Sombre
    HackyZack
    Nongünz
    Wuppo
    Scrap Garden
    Scanner Sombre
    Sanctum 2
    On Rusty Trails
    Painters Guild
    Master Spy
    Mirage: Arcane Warfare
    Chime Sharp
    Headlander
    FreeCell Quest
    LostWinds
    Mr. Shifty
    Tooth and Tail
    Dungeon of the Endless
    Tross


    I have like another 8 pages of similar titles but you get the idea.
    I'm sure there are a couple gems in there but they're not anything I've ever heard of, so I figure they'll be languishing on The List even if I put 'em up.

    Also, remember people - check the First Post in this thread to see the aforementioned List - it has a ton of stuff from prior years still left!

    Since I'm a big dum dum and I checked Steam but not GOG this morning, I forgot I had SS2 on the latter, so I'm returning it to the giveaway pool :V

    I checked them all, and you weren't kidding. Though I did play or hear about a few of them.

    Sanctum was a good enough game, the sequel you have might have been as well, but it's strictly multiplayer and old (meaning dead player base) and the greedy DLC's are a turnoff, not recommending this one.

    Dungeon of the Endless I have already and it's a pretty good roguelike, if someone wants it then I'm recommending it right here and now, go and badger ultima-senpai about it. You'll get a few solid hours of entertainment out of it at the very least.

    I already have The Swapper, haven't played it yet but heard it's decent enough.

    From what's left, only Luna's Wandering Stars and Maize sound even remotely interesting to me. Take a look at them if you're interested.

    Nongünz and Mirage: Arcane Warfare seem to have been removed from steam, I'm curious what would one still get it if I tired to input the codes anyways.

    If you want to post the rest of what you have, I can go through it and share some more recommendations.

    .... Huh.
    I still have Mirage: Arcane Warfare in my steam library, but clicking on Store Page returns me to the main page instead.
    A quick google shows it was shut down by the creators, due to being non-worthwhile to keep, due to EU's GDPR.

    Apparently it's a multiplayer game, and since they shut down the public servers, only dedicated private servers are operational now. If anyone is still running any, that is.... RIP.

    I might, at some point.
    It'd be nice to start cleaning out some of these games, my humble bundle keys list for unclaimed keys is 30 pages long....

    ... woah.

    Okay. From that list, I want exactly three/four items:
    • Crash Bandicoot™ N. Sane Trilogy
    • Spyro™ Reignited Trilogy
    • Shenmue 1&2
    ... and while I want both, I can't really ask for more than one. OTOH, I should probably bust out some of my older keys while we're doing this...

    Edit: Found another item on there. Also, for those of you looking... I rather strongly rec Berseria. Very, very good game in many ways.

    I'll take this, or less preferably;

    I'd love both but that doesn't seem sporting to ask.

    Mechanicus is amazing, and absolutely worth it. It's heavily discounted on steam right now, yet I'm not regretting having bought it at full price just a few weeks ago. I dare say it's on par, if not better than the new X-Com in some aspects.

    If you want the game and Snakers-kun runs out of keys, I heartily recommend buying the game anyways. It's worth it.

    I'm interested in those two.

    ¤The Swapper: is a gimmicky kinda pretty (not pixel art at least) platformer that would only really interest people who get charmed by its aesthetics/themes or platformers fans for an OK game.
    ¤Super Hexagon: is one of those frustrating games requiring precision and focus, recommended to masochists who like that kinda stuff.
    ¤Sproggiwood: I don't know, seems like just another rogue like from that wave of them, probably someone who likes those kind of games and can stand the art direction would like it.
    ¤Shutshimi: I also don't know, but it seems to be a mix of rogue lite and Metal Slug, not sure who would be interested in it.
    ¤Secrets of Raetikon: looks like another 2D metroidvania shaved to the bone with some pretty visual on top to compensate.
    ¤Robot Roller-Derby Disco Dodgeball: someone has given glowing recommendation to me, but I think it's one of those hit and miss 'sports'/party games.
    ¤Tumblestone: looks like an interesting gimmicky game, there's been surprising success in reinventing the earliest gameplay elements of video game history so it's probably as enjoyable as the reviews suggest.
    ¤Ballistick: I wouldn't recommend to anyone.
    ¤Dusty Revenge: Co-Op Edition don't know this game, doesn't seem worth learning about honestly.
    ¤Luna's Wandering Stars: Seems to be another space physics game, those can be interesting but I don't think anyone but the nerdiest of space enthusiast need more than one of those types of games.
    ¤Monster Loves You: really oversells itself, I think someone going in blind would probably find some enjoyment in it?
    ¤Potatoman: Seeks the Troof Never played, never heard of; Not surprising since it's a pixel art game.
    ¤Maize: I've asked for this because someone recommended it to me for the humor.
    ¤Scanner Sombre: artsy bullshit, some people like that but I can rarely stand it for more than ten minutes.
    ¤Sanctum 2: I don't know what people see in this game, if someone takes it up I'd love to know why its good.
    ¤On Rusty Trails: Like most platformers ever the gameplay is OK and your enjoyment depends on what you like of the art direction and themes.
    ¤Painters Guild: Anther unfinished game it seems, the reviews paint it as a basic turn your brain off management with no value.
    ¤Master Spy: Very good music done by RAC, I still listen to the soundtrack. As for the game itself well, it's a very very tight stealth platformer, most level seem to be designed to be played at the rhythm of the music. I never managed to finish it but I enjoyed it overall despite the frustration.
    ¤Mirage: Arcane Warfare: Pretty sure this game is dead.
    ¤Chime Sharp: someone bitched at me about this, I assume from the reception this game was only of interest for the people who played the original and they were very disappointed.
    ¤Headlander: I actually don't know anything about this, which is weird since it seems to be my type of game.
    ¤FreeCell Quest: Never played but you would be surprised at how well people have managed to remake such traditionnal games, I'm going to assume its safe to recommend for people who are interested by looking at the store page.
    ¤LostWinds: Someone recommended this to me a few times then I never heard of it again, probably another OK platformer.
    ¤Mr. Shifty: A beat'em up I generally don't like those kind of games but it seems to be competent enough to please the regulars of the genre.
    ¤Tooth and Tail: Surprised you haven't heard about it, some people were hyping this game as a new competitive RTS. Overall it's fine and the humor is dark enough to please me.
    ¤Dungeon of the Endless: I've asked for this to complete my Endless game collection.
    ¤Tross: Never heard of this looks like an epileptic attack.
