Most of those games are certainly good quality, but have been bundled often, so I were only missing 5 out of 40. Also most of the remaining ones, being so common, have a low exchange value (many are like 20-50 cents on keyshops), and I believe I'll have a hard time bartering them. :|

Oh, I see. I was guessing you already owned a large part. 😅 What about giveaways? :o
Comment has been collapsed.
Just dont. 90% of them are keys they cant sell otherwise. Even if you supposedly get "$19.99 game" its probably sold often below $1 or given away via their "buy with $15 and get free game".
Just browse "below $5" and buy stuff around $1. You get a choice and you might get quality.
That said, I bought one because I cant help myself.
It was "Super Night Riders" ( https://youtu.be/XEl01buKqm0?t=9 ). Yeah, think I learned my lesson there.

Super Night Riders has almost 200 reviews and a "very positive" average evaluation. Doesn't look that bad to me, considering that with 20-games bundles, the average price for a game is usually around 0.75€.
Of course it depends on which kind of gamer/collector/trader you are, but that applies to other bundles too

200 reviews for 9 year old game doesnt really sound that great to me - personally. Maybe im overly rude tho.
HL at 0,99€ so thats "ok i guess".
Just really not for me.
Even at 0.75€ you can pick up decent games without gamble junk. Or just get some 3€ game that can give you AAA experience if you dont mind 10 year old games..I guess

Considerations about game quality are highly subjective, but you don't find a huge amount of games with that amount of reviews and rating. I wouldn't know how to quickly get exact numbers, but I'd say it's probably in the top 3% games on Steam.
Your second observation also is very reasonable, but subjective too. For someone who likes collecting games, and takes the time barter the ones they already own, mystery bundles can be worth it, since some of those games have considerably higher prices on the store or keyshops

Usually you end up with one or two decent games and a bunch of junk. And the decent games are usually already bundled so good chance you already own them if you're library is big enough. Not bad for creating giveaways but money is better spent elsewhere if you are trying to find a game you will enjoy playing. It's a gamble, hence the slot machine in the title of this thread.
The argument against mystery bundle threads is they were way more effort to compile the list of reported games and the list isn't even that useful. People can discuss/brag/complain about what they got in the comments but I'm not going to make a gigantic list of games that somebody might get if they buy this bundle.

I wasn't questioning the choice of not creating threads for mystery bundles, but the widespread opinion that such bundles are "trash" and aren't worth buying.
For one, I believe that what "junk" is, is highly subjective. I find most of the bundled games enjoyable, except maybe a tiny portion which are often the few profile-limited ones. Also for someone who like collecting games, mystery bundles can be useful.
By the way, the other kinds of bundles often include games of the same quality, but sometimes at a considerably higher average price. As an example, consider "Nephilim Resurrection", which was bundled today in the Ruthless Bundle, and goes for at least 2.40€. It has 3 reviews only and is profile-limited. You rarely find AAA-games, or their likes, in other bundles too. Maybe the closest to that are Killer Bundles.
To me, and many other users I know, the main issue with mystery bundle is that many games are often included, and have become very common, so it's hard to find people to barter them with. By the same token, they've become very cheap on keyshops, and their trading value has declined considerably. Notwithstanding this, I still buy at least a couple of mystery bundles when they have a 20-games version.

Hey! Long time no see! :) But to stay on topic, this kind of bundle is only good if you are starting trading, because then you can switch one or more for games that you actually want to play. But people need to remember, that unplayed games no matter the cost are the most expensive ones. 19 games pack is 16.29€ (weirdly there is no 20-pack option for me) For that price, you can buy for example Red Dead Redemption 2. Is it better to own 20 random games that you probably will never play or own 1 game that you'll play over 100 hours?

Hi Hallak, long time no see indeed!
You know that I'm collector-minded, so I'll take quantity over quality. xD Indeed we were able to do some large trades thanks to this difference in perspective. Also I'm planning to try out all the games in my library even if for only 1 hour each, and the hundreds of videos on my channel are witness to that. About Red Dead Redemption 2, I was able to play that too, it was on PS Plus though ;)
