Nice.
Oh Jesus, this is one of the best bundles yet. Thomas Was Alone is a fucking masterpiece, it's only 2-3 hours long, but Jesus, that storytelling. Hotline Miami is one of the most satisfying game-games out there and nails down all of it's mechanics so beautifully, you'll repeat that level 500 times and you still love doing it. Little Inferno is just a little experiment and is sort of entertaining and has a cute twist, although it can be annoying spending the last 2 hours just trying to figure out the combos in order to progress to the twist, but then again, the twist is all about what you've been doing before it so it makes sense. Dear Esther is not my cup of tea, at all, but many have enjoyed it for maxing the capabilities of the Source Engine with lots of tweaks and edits done to it to make all of the detailed scenery in the game. It's really just a story that's being told as you move along and has fired up a great deal of discussions asking if it could even be called a game, which is a cool feat in and of itself. Awesomenauts is a entertaining casual 2D-side scrolling MOBA game with lots of style and charm, you still need skills to play it well, but you don't need to worry too much about people getting angry and calling you names just because you didn't use your ability in the fraction of a second where it would have been useful. I've been thinking about getting my hands on Proteus and even though metroidvania games aren't really my thing Capsized is still a neat title to add to the pack, it's go it's fair share of praise.
