Games: Reviews: 9
only 9-10% discount (ad claims 41%)
This is a bundled deal not a game, as such I will only review the bundled deal not the games themselves. TLDR: If you want both titles the current pricing might suit you, even though it's at best questionable to advertise the bundle as one saving you 41% when in reality you'll save only less than 10%. But I don't know how refunding one of them would be handled, so you might want to be sure you want both titles in the versions you get here. the longer review: As always I'll start with 3* for products that do neither exceed basic expectations nor fall short of them. Sadly the basic expectation is: the advertised savings are correct and they are very much not. The current price for the bundle is $34.41 and suggests you'd save 41% by falsely claiming the combined 30-day-lowest-price of the titles outside the bundle would have been $67.48. The enhanced edition of Pathfinder WotR which seems to be the one included in this bundle currently costs $11.99 and the default version of Medieval Dynasty is $26.24 which combines into $38.23, which means: yes you'd save some money buying the bundle, but by far not the advertised $33.07 or 41%, only $3.78 or less than 10%. This clearly false claim costs 1* and would have cost even more if the current price for buying them separately wouldn't have been outside of error higher. bundles and refunds If one of the games is not the version you actually though it might be and you apply for a refund, according to the refund policy the whole bundle would have to be refunded and you'd likely lose out on the separate discounts. Owlcat Games lost trust massively in 2023 due to their attempt on spying on users. But after their reviews plummeted because of that change, they reversed it and afaik removed the spyware it as thus I won't dock another star for Owlcat games attempt of introducing spyware ("a marketing analytics tool") into the game 2 years after launch. But as they did it once, at least for a few years I'll remain skeptical.
