Have you ever gotten an AAA game from a mystery key bundle?
I got HITMAN 2 - Gold Edition from a Fanatical Mystery Madness Bundle in 2019. It was in the second 10-key bundle I bought, so I spent ~£13. I was especially lucky since HITMAN 2 was the only AAA game I was interested in from the list here.
Ironically this re-confirmed to me that it's not worth buying mystery bundles, and I haven't since.

I don't know what they are like now - I try not to pay attention for fear of feeding my FOMO.

My very first attempt at these, I got Lego Marvel Superheroes 2 Complete Edition.
So obviously I tried again the next day... and got a couple of games they usually put in dollar bundles that had already been given for free... and that was it for me.
But hey I got a wishlisted game on my first go so I'll count my blessings and never get another Mystery key again ;)

Bought it once.. got nothing remotely interesting and never bought any again
If people would follow suit we could get rid of this plague that Fanatical has sworn upon us.

Hitman 2 a year before it was in Humble monthly. Bought few more bundles after that but they were crap so I stopped.

Only ever grabbed different mystery bundles when I've had a chance to get a free one and the content of those free ones have just reinforced what a bad idea they are to buy. Sure not everything I've got has been bad, but it's mostly been things I already had or did not have any real interest in personally. Fanatical has not given out freebies of this kind, to my knowledge, but a few other stores do occasional mystery bundles as well, like GMG.

I got Call of Duty®: Black Ops III out of a GMG mystery bundle 4 years ago, and it was truly the best thing — because I didn't want it at all and neither did anyone I knew. But since it was such an expensive game, I didn't want it to go to waste so I ended up searching for something to do with it, and that's how I found steamgifts! :)
And it was my first giveaway.
As luck would have it though it had an undisclosed region lock so I had to delete it and remake the GA, lol. Hard lesson learned aside, I'm glad I got something too 'nice' to trash and not interesting to me at all or I'd probably have never stumbled onto this site.

My best finds would be Borderlands Handsome Collection (4 times), Abandon Ship, Outward, Kingdome Come Deliverance, Metro Exodus (twice), Bioshock Infinite, Blasphemous, The Falconeer, Pro Cycling Manager 2019...
But I definitely bought an unreasonable number of them and still wouldn't recommend it to anybody.

Mystery bundle
Dying Light?
Neverwinter Nights: Enhanced Edition
Mortal Kombat X
I've gotten a few other games as well.
I was shaken up in an accident about a year ago, and my memory is faulty.┐(´Θ)┌ (。-Θ-。)ooO(What? Did I have a bad memory to begin with?) However, although I like these games, I can't play them with joy because I don't own a good computer for earthlings.... 🎁ヽ(Θ
ヽ≡ Select... Create GA.... ≡ノ´Θ)ノ🎁
(A common sight.Please do not tell me that I should not purchase such things and create prizes.)
If not for an unfortunate event this time last year, I probably would have bought a new computer.

Never bough a mystery bundle, but did on some occasions get some as a bonus to my purchase during some Fanatical promotions. Never anything worth mentioning, of course.

well, i saw what a friend got for a really nice 1€ key bundle for 10 keys ... it really wasn't worth it and so i never bought this sort of bundle, mix n match or full bundles were the type of bundle i bought. the only time i will buy a bundle if the games i want are more then 70% of the bundle or if the package is around 80% cheaper then usual

After fanatical pushing yet another 'add 2 mystery games for 1,99!' offer on me, it got me wondering...
Have you EVER gotten a great game, that hasn't been bundled a lot over the past x months, from one of those mystery key bundle offers before?
Be it fanatical or one of those other vendors.
Have you ever gotten a game you actually wanted? Be it AAA or that one awesome indie gem?
What is the best game you ever got out of one those offers?
