How do you rate this: Bundle or Impostor?

View Results
[Tier 1] Technically, I've seen worse deals Before My Eyes.
[Tier 2] I knew not going for any of those 75% off sales on 75% positive Twin Mirror was at least 75% of a good idea.
[Tier 3] The previous OPUS was bundled quite a bit in the third year after its release, but I just can't wait that long.
[Have] I see story games, I own them already. Sigh.
[Expensive] Previous bundles in this format felt like better value to me.
[Skip] Not enough pew-pew in these titles. Next!
[Borderplaint] First they tell us to buy New Tales from the Borderlands in that Pandora's Box thing, and shortly after people did, they launch this T3? But I would have preferred OPUS and NTftB!

lmao why do they even bother?

two wishlisted in T1, so it's a buy
in T2 I own two out of three and in T3 I have one wishlisted and one crappy filler, so it's a skip.

I don't think I have ever spent this much money on a bundle, but I think I am going to have to go with tier 2 since I only own 1 game and the other 5 are on my wishlist. I also have OPUS wishlisted, but I'm not going to spend another $8 on it. I love these type of games. Quantic Dream, Don't Nod, and Freebird Games all make great games.

I think I would have held off on the T3 to... if I read new tales review score before buying.
I had a bunch of wishlisted(including OPUS in T3), first tales of borderlands had good reviews... so the new one couldn't be bad... could it?
oh well, its a still a 70%ish discount on a well rated game. Doubt I will regret it much for a great game.

Quite nice bundle, i thinking about T2, as owning Opus and Borderland game with that score not worth 6€, perhaps 1€, but would still hesitate. Even if i wouldnt own Opus it would be a better idea just buy T2 and buy Opus during sale to give the developers more money for that masterpiece.

Already own Beyond a steel sky, and 6 games wish listed.
A T3 must buy. It's better if it include Heavy Rain and Detroit: Become Human.

Possibly will be in for T1. Imposter Factory has been on my WL for a long while, and Before Your Eyes has been on my radar. Only other game of interest is New Tales From the Borderlands, which I really struggle to commit to buying given the ratings, but I can get it for faaaaar less since it’s the only title from the Pandoras Box bundle I don’t already own.

T2 look nice. Wanted Beyond Two Souls for some time, sale is for 8€ on Steam, so just a little bit more for 5 extra games. And was curious about Tales from Borderlands.
Don't know the rest, but will see.

Really? Is it that bad?
It makes me sad overall that it is a different type of game. Went through Borderlands series with my wife in coop, we liked it. So this will be a different experience.

its a choose your own adventure movie. game-play wise its really just quick time events
the story was amazing tho
you could play it with another person and just yell at each other what path/choice to pick before the timers run out
the 2nd one has nothing to do with the 1st

Four wishlisted games, great. Shame that the new Borderlands game is in there but I think OPUS is too tempting to resist tier 3.

And I haven't bought any bundle in a while so ...

Edit: And bought, with no regrets.

Tier 1 looks pretty good, not sure if there's enough to make me consider the entire bundle though....

Already have Beyond: Two Souls and Tales From The Borderlands. The only game I'm interested is Twin Mirror but not sure I want to spend that much on it. Will have to think about it.

I've played Before Your Eyes, and this game is for people who want an emotional narrative experience, can suspend disbelief & logic for a few hours, and ideally have not dealt with the grief of losing an immediate family member. Although the game claims that the story is "about the impossible expectations we place on ourselves", I and some other Steam reviewers think this aspect is much more about the expectations that someone else puts on the player.

So I'm not interested in Tier 1. Tier 2's Beyond a Steel Sky is on my wishlist, and I don't know that I'm interested in Twin Mirror's type of mystery (though I love The Forgotten City from a recent bundle).

This is an easy pass for me. Could've been a better bundle if it included Detroit. I ended up getting a Fanatical pick & mix instead with games from other genres that I'm generally more interested in.

If this had Detroit it'd be bundle of the year.

Having played most story branches of Detroit, I would agree with that

Sounds like one I'll happily skip. Thanks for the quick review.

The required use of a webcam (though I used droidcamapp to connect my phone cam to my PC) for the blinking-to-advance-time mechanic when past the important part of a scene was the main draw for me. It worked well and as far as I could tell blinking early doesn't actually miss anything nor does it result in any choices that matter - Once in a while it simply provides a bit more context. By the end, the story and the ending wasn't my taste.

Interesting mechanics. I read a lot of reviews that expressed similar views about the ending though, which is a shame when the game is emotionally immersive. It ends up feeling manipulative instead.
It's a gamble I guess, when it comes to narrative games.

Very authoritarian names lately.. get your head in the game, control the narrative, etc. The catch phrases aren't cute, they're a bit creepy and out of touch with what they really mean.

Twin Mirror was on sale for 5 bucks this week, literally, and I don't see anything in the first two tiers that justifies paying twice as much for it.
If you don't already own Beyond a Steel Sky and Beyond: Two Souls from the last bundle though, T2 is a steal and a good buy
