What bundled games have you been trying to win lately? - Christmas 2024 Edition

at this point any game to fill the void of this holiday season and the next 4 years. keep up the good work

View attached image.

It's a wonderful thing to receive a gift like this. I remember I've got Antichamber for Christmas years ago in an event like this. Since then I was lucky to receive more gifts like this, even for no occasion at all. It has always meant a lot to me and at the same time I couldn't comprehend why on Earth a complete stranger would be so nice to me. I don't know why I'm writing this. I guess I'm slightly emotional these days.

I've looked at the giveaways I've entered and I think I'm stuffed. I have some older leftovers though, probably dated a couple years back. I haven't had energy to create giveaways for them but I'd be glad to give them away. Last time nobody was mentioning older leftovers, that's why I'm adding this little note.

Oddworld New 'n' Tasty x50 and Call of Juarez x58. No luck so far. I have all the others in both series.

Both games received. Thank you to all generous SGers.

I had to reinstall the script :x

Doom, Star Wars The Force Unleashed and Cassette Beasts would be my top choices.

Astrea
Had this one on my wishlist ever since I played the demo during a steam next fest. Really got my hopes up when it was bundled, but no luck so far.

Was able to check.
High on Life
Doom 64
Dusk
Sable
Toem
Bookwalker
Citizen Sleeper (Thank you UnknownEAK)

MindSeize
Pseudoregalia
Eastern Exorcist
Venba

runs script for 500 pages

so much of this I either won, traded for, or got in some bundle since entering a ton for, got access via family sharing, or changed my mind on and have since hidden
had to scroll wayyy down... heres my top 4... top 2 were freebies from those giveaway sites that require tasks and such that I refused to do.
Experimentation at 75 entries
Through Abandoned The Refuge at 35 entries
some other unbundled game(not naming to prevent it being gifted to me as it can find a better home for sure) at 35 entries(don't think was ever bundled, AWA or something I think)
only naming to show how rare some bundled stuff is... Dave the Diver at 23 entries(clearly unbundled... all the bundled stuff I aim to enter for these days is rarer than unbundled game giveaways apparently)

throws script results away

as for bundled games I know I am entering pretty much every GA I see for(which... is not many... there are some older bundled games that have had 0 giveaways in the past couple years)
Yakuza 0... I want to get into the series, but its constantly shrinking discount(like seriously SEGA... make the entry point cheap!)... and me being unsure makes it hard to pull the trigger
OPUS: The Day We Found Earth, actually have the rest of the series on hold since this is the first one >>
Eden*, I missed some VN bundles in the past and it makes me sad, missing 3 games from this bundle overall... but only this one seems to have keys out in the wild still as the other two were in the highest tier so best bet is just grabbing them from steam store itself. Managed to grab this in a trade
GRIS - Definitely one I debated on grabbing when it was 90% off... probably should have like I did with Journey.
Eastern Exorcist - I guess everyone wanted to keep this when it was added to the bundle it was in since it wasn't there at the very start... basically nobody was trading it since it got added, few giveaways to
adding this in on the 23rd(who is checking page 1 anyways :P), will likely just buy off gray market Heaven will be mine, more of attempting to trade for it since the number of giveaways isn't that many of them in the first place(of the 11, I was in 7... of those 4 I didn't enter... I couldn't(region locks/groups/wasn't active on SG at the time(pre bundle ones)) was able to snag a trade last minute :)

Time to check my Santa bags contents, as I will monitor this year for gifting just like last year... my tactics to avoid santas last year failed so... not attempting to hide from the list this year.

Finally got the new script working... for the longest time it would only scan page 1 but changing year from === 2024 to >= 2022(making sure it didn't skip 2023 for whatever reason) fixed it, I missed a few things in the scan amongst the pile of old stuff cluttering it up.
with all the old junk gone from the scan I can see I missed the Kojimas interpretation of a Fedex/UPS driver at 37 entries, I am above the law as a truck driver in europe simulator 2 at 38 entries, Bandai Namco hates the USA in giveaways Strikers at 41 entries (don't gift these to me, make a GA or give them a different home)

Alright! The three games that have eluded me lately are: Frog Detective Ep. 1, Dreamscaper and DOOM (2016). All three games I have also coincidentally entered around 140 giveaways each... XD

among reasonably priced games, it's Pathfinder: Kingmaker — Enhanced Plus Edition
overall, it's Death Stranding Director's Cut

This year, the most attempts were surprisingly on Gotham Knights - 170 entries
Apparently, no one really wants this game, since there are so many giveaways

Thanks to Humble (I guess), mine was Jack Move. At one point it was the only game on my front page, because of hidden games.
Beautiful isn't it? :)

Not sure if these are the ones I've entered most, but a few I've been chasing this past year are:

Superliminal - 77 entries
Fae Tactics - 60 entries (Thank you very much ev)
Lost in play - 23 entries (Thank you very much BanjoBearLV)

Happy holiday season/month everyone!

I've already won my fair share of stuff this year so I don't really need anything, but I'll just say a couple I've really been gunning for. Extension isn't working for me so I'm just eyeballing these. My overall entries also tend to be kind of low since I started using the site earlier this year.
Sable - this one is recent so haven't entered as many thanks insideAfireball!
Fell Seal: Arbiter's Mark - I'm a big FE/tactics fan so interests me, probably entered like 20-30+ GAs thank you Swordoffury!
Lost Eidolons - I must have entered 50+ for this one, same reasoning as above thanks cheeki7!
Telepath Tactics Liberated - same as the above 2 thanks Pebbletool!
Symphony of War - Another tactics game I entered a bunch for

Builder Simulator - 88 entries
American Fugitive - 58 entries (thanks Pebbletool)
112 Operator - 56 entries
Toki - 52 entries (thanks dowsky)
Snowtopia: Ski Resort Builder - 42 entries
West of Dead - 40 entries
Going Under - 38 entries (thanks Moony1986)
Black Book - 36 entries
Arcade Paradise - 33 entries (thanks jiggakills)
Zoeti - 33 entries (thanks M4xEx)
Punch Club -33 entries
Eternal Edge + 32 entries
Dead Age - 32 entries (thanks sobbiebox)
Frog Detective 1: The Haunted Island - 31 entries (thanks ArcanaMaze)

Call of Juarez: Gunslinger (55 entries) - I know it was free just a few weeks before I started looking for free games on Steam
I also won and played the first game, but it was too old and wonky for me. Gunslinger looks obviously more modern.

112 Operator (105) - I already got 911 Operator, but the European 🇪🇺 in me yearns for 112 Operator. 😅

Monster Prom (only 19 entries so far) - I won Monster Prom 2: Monster Camp from icaio. I played it recently and loved it, so now I'm very interested in the first one.

The Inner World (86) - I've already won a few point-and-click adventures on SG and enjoyed some of them, but The Inner World keeps eluding me.

Five Dates (88) - Last year I think I got "Who Pressed Mute on Uncle Marcus" in a thread like this. Then I played it over Christmas with my family and had a lot of fun. This is a similar game from the same dev, so I've had my eye out for it ever since.

At the top of my wishlist are High on Life (11) and The Outer Worlds (11), but I guess that those aren't just something people have lying around.

According to, the script - Counting the number of GA you entered for each game, here's my top 5 most entered games. Among the list, Hi-Fi RUSH and The Callisto Protocol are the only games that I truly regret not buying when they were bundled. Especially Hi-Fi RUSH which has been on my Steam wishlist for over a year. However, I couldn't buy the bundle at the time. I'm also shocked by the fact that it isn't on sale this year

This list contains some big titles and I'm not expecting anyone to give them.

1. Yakuza: Like a Dragon (47x)
2. A Plague Tale: Innocence (45x)
3. Hi-Fi RUSH (42x)
4. The Legend of Tianding (42x) (Thank you insideAfireball)
5. The Callisto Protocol (39x)

I also would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone within the Steamgift community for all your generosity and devoted time. Happy holidays everyone :)

I can't extension, so I'll eyeball it as well. I've been lucky this last week, and have really enjoyed some of the wins I've gotten (so good! Thanks gifters). But the ones I'm aiming for have been elusive.
More common lately:
Coral Island - big fan of cozy farming slice of life games, and curious about this. thanks Oppenh4imer!
Descenders - love snowboarding and motorcycle racing, and this looks like it fits that niche. Fierce competition in these giveaways. Thanks Moony!

Separately: Some kind of tower defense - my kid really loves them, and I'm looking for one we can try. Gemcraft maybe? Or...something TD. I'm not a TD person. I distracted him with Ageis Defenders. But then I might not see him till Christmas break. thanks guys!!

Some rare ones that come thru:
Battle Chef Brigade Deluxe - matching game, cooking, and stabby battles? Nice. I think most people kept their copy.
Tactical Breach Wizards - was this even bundled? I saw a few pass thru. Looks so cool. Try to enter when I see it

Just eyeballing my entries..
