I've have the other titles on my radar but at the moment seem to be more in a Hades/Cult Of The Lamb vibe.
While I can't speak to the entire catalog I've played `War-hammer: Inquisitor - Martyr` and it is a FANTASTIC title. My biggest complaint was the lack of online community due to the age of the game.
Space Marine, Vermintide 1+2, and Mechanicus are phenomenal titles as well and are well worth the price of the bundle alone. Never played Inquisitor though, looks like a Warhammer themed Diablo clone? Might need to check that out soon.
Mechanicus: holy shit so much fun. The end game gets a little stale since they didn't limit the power of some of the tech priests, so combat becomes completely meaningless (you wind up being able to wipe entire encounters without the enemy even taking a turn). And for a tacticts game that is pretty much nothing but combat, that's no good. BUT that said, 100% still worth playing. They absolutely NAILED the vibe. The music, visuals, effects, storylines, tech priests, SO well done. Mid-game combat is also crazy fun, it's right where you start to get super powerful but aren't op yet.
Inquisitor: a MUST PLAY for any fans of the genre (arpg diablo-likes) ESPECIALLY with the recent (like a year ago maybe?) add on that included the controllable 4 pack of characters to join you in-game. Man I had so much fun clearing maps with those additional characters. They rebalanced it too to make it a lot more fun and a lot less one-shotty.
I don't do pve/pvp/coop games, so several of the others aren't interesting to me personally, but also, where's Boltgun!??!?!?!
