I buy all of mine from Fanatical, and late last year I ended up getting Doom, Doom 64, and Doom 2016 across a few very cheap bundles, and across those same bundles and a few others I also got Dead End Job, Dustforce DX, GRIP: Combat Racing, Rebel Galaxy Outlaw, Turok: Dinosaur Hunter, Unrailed, and XIII (Classic).
In the same three-game mystery-bundle where I got Turok I also got a game called Biped, which when redeemed also automatically gave me another multiplayer game from the same developer for free, Screaming Chicken: Ultimate Showdown, making mine a four-game bundle instead!
And in the current Action Mystery Bundle, my best pulls were American Fugitive, Dishonoured, and The Flame in the Flood.
There've been a bunch more games besides, but I feel that these are definitely the highlights!
I've only had my Steam account for less than two years (and I'm admittedly a bit of a sucker for blind-bags and the like ), so this has proven to be a really cost-effective way of grabbing a bunch of well-regarded older stuff as well as newer indie titles that I missed before returning to PC-gaming after decades of absence, and also to encourage me to step out of my comfort-zone every now and then. Even when I've gotten games that simply aren't my sort of thing, the price paid for the bundles (only ever a few pounds) is eclipsed by the going price of the ones I want to keep, and I've had no difficulty finding new homes for the other keys. It's all worked out very well - I've gotten a lot of good games for peanuts, which has been a bit of a culture-shock having been on the console side of things for decades.
I'm curious to know what others' best finds have been in these sorts of blind-bundles.

I got Dog Sled Saga in one of mine, too! I need to give it a try sometime soon - might be a good one to ring in the winter?

Sounds like something for an Advent Gaming Calendar........

There was also a Dead Island Definitive in the bundle but I'd already played that to death (no pun intended) on the Linux native version, so someone on here got the key.
