    Chess Ultra is the only noteworthy game here. The Spectrum Retreat, Extreme Exorcism and Ironcast are first time bundles though.

    Fanatical have only had a handful of decent bundles since changing from Bundle Stars a couple of ears ago and this isn't one of them.
    Half these games are bundle crumbs left over from previous bundles and/or $1 groupee/indie gala/daily roayale bundles.

    No offence to the OP, but the price of this bundle is way too high for something like this.

    Well, the general consensus on Reddit disagrees with freezies. There are some decent games in here and while the bundle is not dirt cheap it is still a great price. We can't expect Borderlands GOTY for a dollar every week.😉
    In fact the lowest rated game is still at 74% on Steam.
    For example:

    Stick it to the man at 95%
    Knytt Underground at 84%
    Extrem Exorcism at 88%
    Ironcast at 77%
    Chess Ultra at 75%
    The Spectrum Retreat at 75%

    So, really not as bad as freezie makes it out to be. Of course, if you expect big AAA games then this bundle is not for you. But if you are happy to give indies a chance it might be worth a closer look.

      Yeah, it's a pretty decent bundle for a low price.
      I've played Really Big Sky and Knytt Underground a while back, those two alone make the bundle worth the price to me.
      I've ended up buying a whole lot of bundles this way over the years, one or two games justifying the price which at such a low price point isn't hard to do.

      What general consensus? The 3 upvotes this currently has?

      Half these games have been in much cheaper bundles before, some of them over a dozen times each already. Several of them in previous bundles by Fanatical themselves. They are offloading cheap leftover keys just like they do with their Mystery Key crap.

      Nobody expects AAA games. Compare this to the bundles they used to do as Bundle Stars and all the bundles currently available at the moment.
      You can do a lot better than this for AU $6.50.
