This Tuesday: New Year’s BYOB
Click for group version
My personal take
It may be a New Year’s Build a Bundle, but the very affordable pricing should be giving away that not much is actually new.
For 50 or 60 cents a piece, you can have 10 or 5 games from a book of familiar faces, or select only one for 1 Euro.
Five again seems to be the sweet spot, and this time Fanatical isn’t making it too hard to get there, with, e.g. Chook & Sosig: Walk the Plank (PnC), Path to Mnemosyne (third person puzzle with horror overtones, Reventure (humorous side-scrolling adventure), The Crown of Leaves (VN), and DiRT Rally (formerly a freebie).
For those who have patience (or a huge backlog), it’s usually better to avoid the single game option as the degree of repetition, from one bundle to the next, often means it’s only a matter of time before a chance presents itself, to put together a handful that’s better tailored.
For many of those more worthy of pulling the trigger on, however, this bundle also sets new historical lows.
