OldOldGamer: So, the trash I've got:

* Primordia
* HOMM V
* Quest for Infamy
* Seven Kingdoms 2 HD

I'll buy even less from you GOG.

Oddeus: Primordia is a masterpiece imho. You should try it, if you like point´n´click adventures.
I'll git it a go.

Thanks
It took awhile, but the list has been updated. 216 games listed. It also seems that they put a lot (all?) of the original games they removed back into the pool again, so I may end up merging my two lists into one.

Also, for those who got Wasteland 2, could you verify whether you got the 'Classic' or 'Deluxe' Editions? They're both on sale and I don't know if both are in the pinatas. Thanks!

MarkoH01: Seeing many posts of people who bought quite a lot of pinatas I wonder if you are planning to keep them all or refund every game you don't want. I am really curious here. If GOG would have given out game codes I would know the answer since I know several of those I like to call sneaky gifters ;) but in this case it really makes me wonder if you will try those games, refund them or simply hide them away in your library forever.
Over the first couple days I bought 20 Pinatas. Since then I have requested refunds for 10 of them.

The ones I'm keeping:

1 game I actually hoped for - Spellforce 2 (valued at $3.79 in current sale)
1 game I already own on Steam, but wouldn't mind a DRM free version - Victor Vran (valued at $4.99 currently)
2 games I was interested in checking out and getting eventually, but not a top priority - Her Story, and Shadowrun: Dragonfall (valued at $2.99 each)
2 games that weren't on my radar, but seem like they're right up my alley - Legends of Eisenwald, and Guild of Dungeoneering (each having been on sale for $4.99 before)
4 games that I knew nothing about, don't appear to be my thing and would not have bought on my own, but am willing to check them out and give them a shot anyways - Little Big Adventure, Skyshine's BEDLAM, Metro 2033, and Republique (each having been sold for $1.19, $8.99, $3.99, and $12.49 respectively)

The ones I've requested refunds for:

1 game I absolutely never wanted - Saints Row: The Third (has been on sale for $2.99 before)
4 games I already own or have access to on Steam, CD, or from family, and would rather have my money going towards games I don't have - Heroes of Might and Magic 3 and 4, Aliens versus Predator, and Shadow Warrior 2013 (each with a sale value of $1.49, $1.49, $1.49, and $3.99 respectively)
5 games that I knew nothing about, don't appear to be my thing, and would rather not have them as I'd likely never play them - Time Commando, Capitalism 2, Armikrog, The Blackwell Epiphany, and Agatha Christie - The ABC Murders (each with a sale value of $1.19, $1.99, $8.29, $2.99, and $2.99 respectively)

Gamer4Fire: Here's what I just got:

Hacknet
Big Pharma
Sid Meier's Colonizaiton
Men of War
Space Rangers: Quest
Expeditions: Viking

I won't play anything on this list. I just wasted $18.

MarkoH01: Or you could contact support and ask for a refund if you really don't plan to play anything from your list.
I was thinking of trying a couple more, so I think it would be unethical to try and "retry" my pinatas. "You pays your money and takes your chances."

All right for me please don't take what I said as advice. It was just meant as information since you did not seem so happy in your post. I can completely understand if people prefer to play the "game" the way it was meant to be (tbh I am a bit surprised that GOG did not exclude the refund possibility in sales such like this) and I respect your ethical point of view.

Mount And Blade: Warband
Avadon: Black Fortress

My two pinatas. I feel kind of bad but I will ask for a refund for Mount and Blade. It is perhaps the only game I would not even consider it to play it. Even with a strategy game, I would be okay to bear the consequences and even try it (I don't get along with strategy games). But Mount and Blade? No, just no.

As for Avadon. it is alright. I love rpg games, however Spiderweb games don't seem to appeal to me. Nevertheless, I've never tried one before, so this is a good chance to test the waters. It doesn't seem bad, not at all, but something from the looks of it doesn't click with me. Oh well, never judge a book from its cover (or a game from its screenshots). Maybe I'll like it in the end, who knows.

Unfortunately it was neither. I received Wasteland 2 Director's Cut, not in the current GOG catalog.
Kind of a mixed bag over the past couple of days:

Stories Untold (I have no idea what this game is. My gut tells me it's one of those horror games)

Republique (I have been curious about this game. Not sure if it's my cup of tea, but I'm not totally repulsed by it)

The Walking Dead: Michonne - Telltale Miniseries (Have zero interest in this. Will probably hide on my shelf)

Star Wolves (Look forward to playing this again).

Blood: One Unit Whole Blood (No, just no)
Bombshell
Anno 1404

Give Hacknet a try. I played it about a month ago. Didn't know what to expect and it was awesome. It's a very immersive game.

Totally agree.
I took a couple of goes in the first wave, and one in this wave, gambling on GoG has lead to some interesting games being discovered, Im in the UK so £2.39 a go

Warlords battlecry 3
Republique
Hard West

Game wise I'm pretty happy with that to be honest, even warlords.
Money wise I was annoyed on Warlords on the first hit, it was on sale £1.59 two weeks ago, so felt a little sore, but Republique more than made up for it, and Hard West I looked a few times but for some reason overlooked it during the steam sales, so actually quite pleased, I dont think I dare hit it again, got enough to play.......... right!
Still waiting (it's been over three days now) to hear back from GOG about my refunds request. I'm a sucker though and decided to buy 10 more. The results:

The Adventures of Willy Beamish - not my cup of tea, requested refund.
Death to Spies: Moment of Truth - wasn't aware of it, but seems like it might be interesting - I'll give it a shot.
Krush Kill 'N Destroy Xtreme - not familiar with it, but I'll give it a shot as I generally like RTS's.
Eador. Imperium - Yes! Was on my wishlist and now I have the full Eador series.
Man O' War: Corsair - Warhammer Naval Battles - wasn't familiar with it, but it does look interesting so I'll keep it.
Seven Kingdoms 2 HD - wasn't familiar with it until this sale, looks interesting so I'll keep it.
Sunless Sea - I don't like horror. And yet, something about this reminds me of Darkest Dungeon - a game I've been wanting to try - so I guess I'll keep it and try it out.
Scanner Sombre - What is this game even? It's been described as a walking simulator? I'm almost intrigued (morbidly fascinated?) enough to try it out... But no thanks, I think I'll pass.
The Age of Decadence - not familiar with it, but it looks like it's right up my alley, so sure I'll keep it!
Political Animals - never heard of it, looks cheesy and not my thing. Despite this I'm actually half tempted to keep it... but if I'm honest with myself I don't think I'd ever actually play it.

This third and final round for me was probably the best - no games I already have, a bunch that actually look interesting, and only a few 'duds.' And this is actually what I was originally hoping for from this Pinata event - to be introduced to a bunch of interesting and new games that I wouldn't have bought on my own, score a couple of 'good' ones that were on my wishlist, support GOG, and have an overall generally positive experience. My mixed feelings are now starting to swing back into the positive. Now only if GOG would hurry up and resolve my open ticket that's been sitting for 3+ days. ;-)
I grabbed one more: Crawl

I'm pleased with that!

[Edit]And another: Republique - Another one I'm interested in!
