This is why I prefer them to dig deeper for the more overlooked stuff. If its a nearly universally appreciated banger like Exodus - yeah, I’ve already played it.
Again, though, there are twelve slots–do you begrudge there being one or two big games in there for cheap for people who may not have bought/played them?
I’ve also seen bundles where the headliners are things I already have-- XCOM 2 and XCOM Chimera were ones that I ended up giving away to my soon 15 year-old nephew, for instance. Have yet to put up all the ones left that I don’t care about… been busy.

I love the spread actually - I consider getting 3 or 4 games I’m interested in from the get-go a big win, which for the most part I can’t think of a month where I didnt get that. I think thats mostly because they do organize it the way they do. And there’s certainly way more big AAA games that I’m interested in that I haven’t played.
Damn it I already bought CSD3 (and regretted it, CSD1 was superior in pretty much every way).
Otherwise, nice.
Levelhead is okay. Platformer where people make their own levels, not sure how popular.
I’ve only heard of that and CSD3 of the indies. Mork and Genesis are on gamepass.
They gave me the $4 coupon so I got this one. Nothing exciting, but I might play Darksiders 3 at some point. Although I remember hearing it was a Soulslike now so maybe not.

This is Darksiders Genesis, which I think is more like DIablo.
Ahhh great, that’s more up my alley.
I’m in for the three headliners, but have to look into what the others have to offer.
Looked into the indies for a bit. Two sound interesting:
Size Matters. Short levels where you are shrinking while looking for a cure. Turns into platforming challenges as you get smaller. Reviews say it’s fun for an hour, and can last a few more if you enjoy it.
Vane is a short walking sim-ish experience. This time you’re a boy who was a bird. Mixed reviews because of controls, but people seem to like it.
I’d try Family Man and Relicta as well.

Once again I’m quite thrilled to have people tell me if any given monthly bundle is good or not (that’s not sarcasm! It really does help to know what’s worthwhile or a hidden gem so I can pretend I’ll get to it).
Nothing in this one for me, unfortunately. Paused-a-mundo.
Was offered the $4 discount since I had paused last month. Metro Exodus for $8 was too good to pass on, so I’m in. Getting DS:Genesis and Hellpoint included was icing on the cake. I seriously doubt I will ever touch the other titles in the bundle.
Almost ready to just cancel my sub all around. I seem to not want anything or already have it for six months or so now.
I folded and grabbed it for $8, though I probably shouldn’t have. CSD3 is on the wishlist and Exodus sounds interesting, so maybe I’ll get my money’s worth from those two, though I’m a little concerned as to whether I’ll be able to run Exodus. Genesis is great, but I already own it. Relicta and Vane are both interesting, but strike me as the kind of games where I’m interested enough to register the key but perhaps never interested enough to actually play them. We need a handy term for those.
I already owned Metro on Epic so I guess I own it on Steam now also.
For eight bucks, it’s a marginal bundle. Cheap enough for a what the hell why not reaction.
So is CSD an overcooked knock off?
Emphatically no. For one thing the original CSD predates Overcooked by 4 years. For another, the gameplay is completely different.
There’s a demo for the original CSD if you’re curious: Hail To The Chef: Cook, Serve, Delicious Demo | Rock Paper Shotgun
