It's a good one!

I can heartily recommend Guacamelee and The Swapper. Two of my favourites from last year. Giana Sisters was one I actually kickstarted, but I was a bit disappointed in it. The mechanics are solid and it looks great, but... I don't know, it's kinda hollow. I didn't stick with it for more than the first dozen levels or so. Antichamber didn't grab me either. No idea about Dust, tho some people seem to like it. Monaco can be a barrel of laughs if you can get some co-op partners together.
Alas, I own all of these except for Dust, so I think I'll skip it, but this collection is too great not to deserve it's own thread. :D

Dust is worth the full non-sale price on Steam if you like platform/brawlers, so go get it. I rate it above Guacamelee.
Only games currently in the bundle that I don't have are Antichamber & Monaco, so I'll wait and see what else gets added before I decide for/against this bundle.

Thanks for the heads up about Giana sisters cos I was considering that, also I agree with you about antichamber, played it once when I was stoned and thought it was a bit trippy, but never went back to it.

Oooooh, this looks awesome! I've heard great things about all of these games (apart from Antichamber, I haven't even heard of it), but I've only played Guacamelee myself (and it's fantastic!) so I'm really looking forward to trying some of these. Thanks for the heads up henke! :D

Sweeeet! -- :cheeky::cheeky::cheeky: -- Both Guacamelee! and Swapper were on my watchlist.
And of course, I just HAD to grab an *extra* bundle in preparation for my annual, last-hour, friend entreaty: "Aaaugh! ... I NEED a birthday/xmas game for the nephew!!!"
(This is the earliest I've ever begun xmas shopping!)

Best one in a while. Was after Guacamelee and Swapper. Most of the others look good too and best of all - I don't own any of them :)

Well goddammit, if you're recommending it I'll have to get it! I've noticed 2D platforming beat em ups are your area of expertise. :D

Get Dust. Furries are better than being choked. And Dust is pretty damn good.

I've got everything except Antichamber and Swapper, and I can heartily recommend both Guacamelee and Dust (and Monaco if you have people to play with).
Since I've got Swapper on my "to buy soon" list, I may as well just grab it now via bundle, and then I can also inherit the PC version of Guacamelee.
I played the early version of Antichamber (Hazard: Journey of Life?) and wasn't really that into it then.
