All those bundles sold and so far only one review (negative one):

Barely could get through the tutorial. If you think the core problem with Fallout is that the combat needed to be more complex then you'll probably like it.

Edit:
This guy is an interesting fellow, most of his reviews are negative, e.g. he has over 160 h played in Skyrim but still he says that it's a decline over Daggerfall and he wrote about Dark Souls 2: "SO NICE YOU'RE GONNA WANT TO BUY IT TWICE!" and gave it a negative review.
Some people legitimately buy games just so they can give them a negative review and then often refund them. I've noticed more than once people on Steam who will buy a new game, put in about 30 minutes of game time so they can meet the review threshold, shit all over the game in the reviews and then refund it. One guy I caught doing it recently had over 100 negative reviews that followed this exact format and Steam lets them do it as much as they want because of their no-questions-asked refund policy if you've put in less than 2 hours. Not sure if it's quite the same case with this guy or other people who have bought keys elsewhere in bundles and whatnot as I think it's probably more difficult to get a refund, but I wanted to share my anecdote regardless.

Refund Ronin wanders the land in search of the dreaded Metacriticiszer Beast for he shall sharpen his katana in less than two hours and thus deal the killing blow, and should on his path he encounter even Gaben then he shall be cut.

Thanks for the heads up on this bundle, some nice games in there + I'll now finally get to play AoD. Also, these guys used to be BundleStars. Haven't bought anything from them ever since STALKER clear sky was in a bundle back in 2016...

Do the bundles they have return at one point or are they one time deals, so if the time expired you can never get a specific bundle again?

If I have to guess it's a one time deal as the portal would have to talk the developers/publishers into it and secure the keys all over again. Plus from the marketing perspective, running the exact same bundle is counter productive. I doubt that either Fanatical or KOTOR rights holder would want to do that.

A pity, that one would have been also a good deal

Fanatical repeats bundles frequently VoD, granted not saying this current bundle is guaranteed to repeat but that fantasy anthology bundle is a combination of two previous bundles and has already been repeated once, if I am not mistaken, in case you are interested in it Ventilator.

What is so great about this bundle?
I only see a bunch of old games and some low-effort indie garbage.

If any of you guys never got to try AoD, this is your chance with this bundle. I don't even care about the other games since I tried all of them but none of them stuck with me (sorry Shadowrun and Metal Slugs fans). But AoD is one hell of a game to play and there's no reason you should avoid it.
5 bux is probably the cheapest AoD can go on steam, albeit you get some more (admittedly good) games alongside this precious gem.

Also, let's not speak about the wreck that is HumbleBundle, I personally do not recall the last time there was a game bundle (let alone a GOOD game bundle).

Styx was such a terrible game... huge disappointment and another proof that the stealth genre is dead. Love me some KotOR 2. Will be checking that site regularly, hoping another deal like this happens. AoD is king!
