Are Fanatical bundles worth it?

If you want a huge catalog of games that you'll probably never play and only want to boost your game count, sure.

Depends on the bundle. Some are good. Some are not.

I bought from BundleStars / Fanatical plenty of times, and gotten a lot of decent games from them for a really good price. So I say it's completely worth it, if you're seeking to get slightly older titles, or indie games at good price.

Fanatical are great, they have daily Star deals that can be a great price for games you might be interested in getting, they sometimes have great bundles worth to get as well.

Humble bundle is like a weekly, and monthly kind of thing, since each week a bundle might be worth to get, and then there the monthly bundle which is taking a chance you might get good games in it, or not.

Usually they're worth it for that one game you actually want that just happens to be in a bundle, and getting 7 other games you'll never play is just the price you need to pay to get your desired game for 2 bucks.

IMO, most of their bundles are filled with garbage games. Every now and then they do have some really good bundles, though. They also have a daily "Star Deal" that is typically a pretty good game for a ridiculous discount.

Depending ON, if you are a game collector YES, but sometimes have interesting offers.

Yeah if it has a game in it that you know you'll like then go for it. You're likely to get a better deal on that site than you are buying it directly off of Steam if it's bundled, like with most games in any legitimate bundle site.

Well, it's got the the same problem that most sales have -- a huge number of games, and no useful way to sort/filter them.

I don't currently know whether isthereanydeal picks up the summer sale deals, so I'd at least get notified about stuff that's on my Waitlist. I do occasionally look up a game or two on such sales, but for the most part I completely ignore them outside of Waitlist notifications.

In fact, most of my "off the track" purchases did not come from such large sales. Small sales, such as the Star Deal or publisher sales, have a much better chance for me to actually look at games that aren't on my radar already.

Depends on the bundle. For me, I generally track game prices during Steam sales, so I have a rough idea of what the usual discount is. If a bundle offers a good deal on a few games I want, I'll get it, even if there are games in the bundle I don't want.

The current Killer Bundle XI is a good example. The bundle is $4.50, and I wanted Zenith and Signal from Tolva. During Steam sales, they usually discount to $5 each, so getting both for $4.50 is a good deal.
