BlackThorny: Is it worth getting the bundle at this price point if I so far only care for this title and don't care that much for the other mentioned in reddit?
I wanted to buy at the 0.99$ point but I wasn't sure I want another RPGmaker or a diving simulator? Is it even fun?
edit: wait, how did I get 3 rep points with this one post? I was sure I was below 190 just a couple of hours ago...
Personally the games so far included in the bundle look right up my alley, and I feel like it's shaping up to be a dynamite bundle for my preferences. I don't think you can really go wrong for a $1.xx. I wanted to buy at the 0.99$ point but I wasn't sure I want another RPGmaker or a diving simulator? Is it even fun?

The RPGmaker game has some pretty positive reviews and seems to be on the level of some of the 16-bit SNES JRPG's of yore -- at least better than most RPGmaker games.
The Depth Hunter II diving simulator base game I actually have already, and I like the atmosphere a lot although the gameplay and menus are pretty horrible. It's the sort of game that I'd rather just turn off the half-assed gameplay elements and just free-explore the nicely-crafted environments and game engine. The DLC or whatever it is alone to me is probably worth the $1.00 asking price on its own to just explore the surroundings... but this is probably more just because I'm weird and am interested in marine environments.
The Few, real-time WW2 airplane squad action/strategy game looks pretty neat, most of the negative reviews are just complaining that the game is hard... although that might be a big plus for me as I like hard games that can be won with thoughtful strategy. I can't really tell from the reviews though if the game is difficult due to cheap situations or if the complaining reviewers just are bad at figuring out strategies.
Captain Morgane looks like a point & click with decent production values at the very least, and seems pretty hit or miss depending on if you can connect with the characters and humor. Maybe like a poor-man's Monkey's Island?
