Fanatical
https://www.fanatical.com/en/pick-and-mix/prestige-collection-build-your-own-bundle ≈$7.50 per game
Standout Titles: Death Stranding, Ghostwire Tokyo, Control, Resident Evil 3 Remake, Ghostrunner, Bloodstained, Disco Elysium, Phoenix Wright Ace Attorney Trilogy ^Definitely take a look at this one, it's got some actual big releases for cheap.
https://www.fanatical.com/en/pick-and-mix/build-your-own-premiere-bundle ≈$2.33 per game
Standout Titles: Frogun, ICEY, Spirit of the North
Mostly indies so it's hard for me to judge since I've never heard of most, thumb through it yourself. Don't buy Scathe, it requires an Epic Games Store account to even start. https://www.fanatical.com/en/pick-and-mix/build-your-own-bento-bundle ≈$2 per game
Standout Titles: River City Girls, Long Live the Queen, Dusk Divers, Dark Deity
And If You're Utterly Shameless: Gal*Gun: Double Peace, Gun Gun Pixies
Lots of indies and visual novels in here, so hard to tell what's quality. Take a look for yourself, they're pretty cheap after all. And finally, with the build-your-own bundles aside, the one they're more known for:
https://www.fanatical.com/en/bundle/killer-bundle-28 $16 total, no customization
Standout Titles: Prey, Shantae 1/2 Genie Hero (with all DLC), The Mummy Demastered, Alex Kidd in Miracle World DX, Strategic Command WWI, Chronicon, DARQ: Complete Edition
The other ones are hit-or-miss, can't really tell if they're worth recommending from just a cursory glance at their steam page, so look through the bundle yourself to see if there's anything that stands out to you.

Can't quote properly, but last call (one day left) on all of these except the already-ended Bamco bundle. Suprisingly they still have most of the good games left, like Death Stranding.
Apparently Fanatical will be rolling out new bundles tomorrow...
 
$14 Action bundle on Humble
It's got Maneater, No More Heroes, Destroy All Humans, and a couple others. Looks like a decent enough selection.
$10 nigger bundle (lol)
None of these games look worth it.

$15 Charity bundle (Fanatical)
Hard to be sure about this one, on one hand it's got some neat looking stuff like Vampire Survivors and some remakes of old Atari games, but at the same time the kiddie shit sprinkled in like Peppa Pig and Paw Patrol makes me skeptical of any titles I'm unfamiliar with in case they're similarly unworthwhile.
Can anyone familiar with any of the titles on here weigh in on if it's worth the price?

There's also a sale on Sonic games on Steam, though the exception is Sonic Generations since they just announced a remake. The sale doesn't seem to be mirrored on sites like Fanatical or Humble.

I'm going to get that $10 one that has Norco, Wytchwood, and Not for Broadcast. $14 for Destroy All Humans and Maneater might be worth it, but that's kind of high for my tastes.

not for those specific games, but the way I usually gauge "worth" is:
- how much for the game(s) I actually want
- what do I get alongside it

I usually check isthereanydeal if the games have been in a bundle before (man that redesign kinda blows), then look at the other games if there's a chance I might play them later. granted I'm very tolerant towards indies, so if it's looks "ok" there's a good chance I'll play it even to check it out later instead of dismissing it outright.
however once games are in a bundle that's usually the "end point", most of them will re-appear in a bundle at some point again in the future, maybe in a better combination. so if I really don't want it NOW, these days I'll just wait.

with charity bundles there's also the aspect where the money is supposed to go goes. that bundle doesn't sound to bad but I gotta admit I never heard of that charity before.

Charity bundle from Fanatical looks a bit shit, although Breakout recharged and centipede are pretty fun pick up, put down arcade games. I like the look of calico but it is a "chick" game.

If there's three games you want out of that bundle it'd be worth it, otherwise i'd pass.
 
SALES:
DOOM franchise (Steam)
HUGE sale on GOG (started a week ago and ends soon, oops)

BUNDLES:
$15 Puzzle bundle (Humble)
Some decent titles in there like Superliminal and Manifold Garden, but I'm not sure about all of them at that pricepoint. Consider downgrading to the $10 selection.
$12 IGN bundle (Humble)
Shantae is good, but unless another game in there catched your eye, not sure it's worth it.
$15 curated bundle (Fanatical)
A few decent-looking titles in there, seems like a bit of a focus on Strategy and narrative-focus titles in this one. No big names, so probably not worth it unless something specific catches your eye.
3-for-$5 """RPG""" bundle (Fanatical)
They're really stretching by calling most of these RPGs (Tunche is a beat-em-up), and I haven't even heard of most of these, but at that pricepoint it's worth at least looking through.
3-for-$6 anime-ish bundle (Fanatical)
Once again some of these are a stretch in terms of fitting the theme, and quality really varies (like the dime-a-dozen ecchi asset flip TPS) but there's some variety in there in terms of genres. No Gal*Gun in this one, sorry coomers.

Fanatical is launching a new bundle every day, so stay tuned...

Fanatical 2-for-$15 Bundle:
Only really notable games are River City Girls 2, Shantae and the Seven Sirens, and Deathloop. Maybe worth it if you want one of those, I guess?
Fanatical 3-for-$5 Bundle:
Actually good selection, with Frogun, Shantae and the Pirate's Curse, Shantae Half-Genie Hero (Complete), Dusk, Prey, and The Mummy Demastered. Additional tiers are 5 for $8 and 7 for $10.
Humble GDQ $10 Bundle:
I haven't heard of most of these, but it has Pseudoregalia and Hylics 2. From a cursory glance, the other games look at least half-decent, but nothing that wows me.
Humble Heroines $15 Bundle:
ngl half of this shit looks like absolute slop, the only games in there I've even heard of are LISA and Eastward.
HOWEVER,
The Steam key for LISA is for Complete Edition. The base price for that is $35 and the sale price hasn't dipped that low in years, so at $15 it might be worth it for that alone.

As always, there are additional bundles that I skipped over because nothing stood out to me, but YMMV so feel free to check the bundles page on Fanatical or Humble yourself.

here's a list that covers more sites, and you can cross-check the price of every entry.
doesn't cover giveaways etc, those are in an extra list, but are included if you open the frontpage and scroll down.

Under Night In-Birth 2 is 10 bucks rn, good deal, out of keys but humble will supply orders when avalible

They're sending out refunds today for anyone who bought after they ran out of keys it looks like. I bought shortly after you posted when they ran out and just saw in my email they sent a refund, not surprised they wouldn't eat the cost and send out more. Good on anyone who was fast enough to get in while they still had them though.
 
We're right in the middle of Steam's Spring Sale (as well as sales on Fanatical and itch.io), though I don't have much in specific to report other than a couple of bundles on itch available for a few more days:
Main Bundle ($12.5 for 10 Games)
Side Bundle ($22 for 6 Games)
I haven't really heard of most of these, so you'll have to check yourself to see if either is worth it.
There's also a $14 Humongous Entertainment Bundle (37 Games) on Humble, with all the Pajama Sam/Freddi Fish/Putt-Putt/etc. games, could be good if you have a young child.
 
I recently got on sale:
Astrologaster
- Some indie game, adventure type thing, about a real life Elizabethan court case involving an astrology doctor accused of malpractice

Aviary Attorney
- Le funny bird game (Phoenix Wright set in Les Miserable France with animal people in the JJ Grandville style)

Four Last Things
- The prequel to The Procession to Calvary (the Monty Pythonesque adventure game made from famous paintings)

Hatred
- Le edgy mass shooter game, which is basically a shitty (but still engaging) Hotline Miami with an edgelord theme (that wears thin real quick)

Turmoil
- Oil drilling game. Casual, kind of frustrating but addictive (despite its simplicity; its one of those where its shortness makes it easier to keep playing than something thats long and taxing would be)
 
My apologies if this was already posted, but the current Humble Choice has Nioh 2 with all the DLC for cheaper than the game itself has ever been on any PC storefront. Excellent deal if you care about that type of game.

You can buy choice, generate keys and then remove your payment option from Humble to cancel the subscription. You can redeem the keys on Steam later any time and you keep the game(s).

I have no idea what the other games even were but they're a bonus if you think they're interesting.
 
After much delay, the TKD Bundle is now live on itch.io, just in time for Hitler day! Now that's what I call Wholesome 100.
$8 for an actual boatload of shovelware, it's your job to dig through it for the actual games.
So far I've found it includes:
Bleed 2
Wandersong
ZeroRanger
Pixross
Underhero
If you see anything else on there that isn't literal tranny shovelware, make sure to drop a comment.
It's certainly not as good as the past charity bundles on Itch (I remember seeing Undertale, Celeste, and Hypnospace Outlaw in past ones), but there are still a few indie gems in there, so if even two of them sound decent, at 8 bucks it's already better than their combined sale price, with the added bonus of a ton of other crap on top.
You get permanent claim to everything offered inside, but each title only populates your account's library after visiting its download page, so don't worry about clogging it up with garbage; you can pick and choose which games you want quick access to.

To update:

Astrologaster = Kind of sucked
Aviary Attorney = Fine but also wasn't really worth it
Hatred = Awesome
Turmoil = Bland Flash game-ass game

>"Palestinian Relief Bundle"
>no Knights of al-Aqsa Mosque
YOU HAD ONE JOB
 
If you’re into classic Fallout styled cpgs, ATOM and it’s stand alone expansion are both on sale at GOG for a little under $5 each.

If you really wanna go back to the early days of Diablo clones, Darkstone is on sale for 65 cents at GOG as well.
 
I've been busy, but now I finally have the time to do a writeup on the bundles available right now, because there are quite a few good ones...

Fanatical:
2 for $15 Build-your-own-Bundle
Notable Titles: Devil May Cry 5, Ultrakill, Monster Hunter World, Fallout 4 GOTY, Saints Row Remake (lol), 14-game Star Wars collection (includes The Force Unleashed), Devil May Cry 1-3 HD Collection​
One of the best bundles they've had in a while, their "Prestige" line never misses.
3 for $5 Build-your-own-Bundle
Notable Titles: Fallout New Vegas, Prey, The Ascent, Fallout 3, Valfaris, Human Fall Flat​
Not exactly new games, but a great selection for the price.
2 for $15 Build-your-own-Bundle
Notable Titles: Shantae and the Seven Sirens, River City Girls 2, Rabi-Ribi, Street Fighter V Champion Edition, Nexomon Extinction, Megaman Zero Collection​
A little pricy but still a pretty good selection. There are a couple other games on there that looked interesting, but I wouldn't know enough to decide of they belong on the list.
≤$1-per-Game Build-your-own-Bundle
Notable Titles: Oddworld Soulstorm, Valfaris​
I mean, it's $1 per game, and you don't even have to pick more than one to qualify for the bundle. Might as well. Bonus: Another bundle at the same price, but I recognize zero games in the selection.
2 for $25 Build-your-own-Bundle
Notable Titles: Streets of Rage 4 Deluxe, Tropico 6, Deathloop Deluxe, Doom Eternal Deluxe, High on Life (lol), Train Sim World 4 Deluxe​
A decent enough selection of games, but the pricing doesn't exactly wow me.
$20 18-Game Curated Bundle
Notable Titles: Rain World, Rain World Downpour, Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen, Devil May Cry 4, River City Girls 0​
The selection looks good, but it's hard to judge exactly when I've never heard of half of the titles, so take a look through it yourself.

Humble:
May Humble Choice ($12)
Notable Titles: Hi-Fi Rush (rip), Yakuza: Like A Dragon​
I'm getting it for Hi-Fi Rush alone, and a disclaimer under its description implies that the game will be delisted next summer, so this might be the last chance to grab it for cheap. Some of the indie titles look interesting, but they could also just be filler trash that they use to pad out every month's bundle...
$30 Monster Hunter Bundle
Contains Monster Hunter Rise, Monster Hunter World, and all DLC/Expansions for both. You can downgrade to $20 for just Rise+Sunbreak and DLC, or $10 for just Rise and its DLC extras.
$20 Beat-em-up Bundle
Notable Titles: River City Girls, River City Girls 2, Double Dragon Gaiden: Rise of the Dragons, that new Battletoads game (lol)​
If you're really into Beat-em-ups this could be good, but I'm not sure if I'd spend $20 for what seems like only 3 good games.

As always, there are more titles in each bundle that I glossed over, so feel free to comment if there are any hidden gems I didn't mention. Same goes for the handful of other bundles on both Humble and Fanatical that I didn't include because I didn't recognize anything good in them.

Some actual decent bundles, i was thinking they've been a bit lackluster lately. @Punished Magician you should push your thread in community happenings, doing good work for this.
