It's a weird bundle.
Looking at SteamCharts... they're all more or less dead, pardon the pun on these predominantly zombie games.
The Anacruis is effectively dead, zero playerbase, a whopping 5 Steam forum posts in 2026.
Back 4 Blood is practically dead, averaging ~1k players and it has never been much better since the initial 2 months after release saw nearly all players abandon it. They are still trying to scam you for 60€ for this 2021 flop! A subpar clone of Left 4 Dead 2, get that instead and be much better off.
Zombie Army 4, a few hundred players. Dead.
Vermintide 2, ~2k players average. At least some people still play, there was a massive spike in November which faded fast back down to that 2k again. They did fix EAC about a year ago so we can play it now, check GOL anticheat information for making it work on Linux!
Zombie Army Trilogy, a few dozen players. Dead.
Killing Floor 2 is a classic with a stable 3k+ recurring players average, likely your best bet of the bunch. A well loved title with an active community and tons of Steam Workshop mods. Just happens to be on 90% sale on Steam currently, Digital Deluxe edition for less than 4€ or the Ultimate edition with tons of skins for 10€.
Honest opinion, get KF2 on Steam and leave the rest behind. Of course supporting Humbles charity work is a good choice in itself so there's that. Using the links in the article helps support GOL so either way, kudos.

Serious Sam: Shatterverse announced as a new co-op roguelite FPS

I have doubts this concept survives meeting the player base. Servers gone within a year?
It'll be a challenge to keep the gameplay fresh for more than a few hours, if it's just going to be Serious Sams blasting away endless hordes on perpetual repeat. Then again, hardpenguin enjoyed the first two games in co-op... although they released more than two decades ago and the 'roguelite co-op shooter' scene has grown exponentially since then and the competition is fierce, not to mention players expect different things today. 🤔
If they cram non-cosmetic monetization into this, or even too much of those - RIP.

Flatpak Steam is crap, but I'm OK with people thinking otherwise.

Deep Rock Galactic: Survivor - Heavy Duty Expansion announced for April

FWIW DRG x DRG: Survivor bundle on Steam is currently ~64% off, two excellent games well worth it. 15€ instead of the regular 43 with both on sale and a bundle discount on top.
These games are worth full price anyway, both quite reasonably priced.

Quoting: g000hwaiting for it to be reduced in price, maybe 50%+ ideally 75%+ discountShould have bought DRG:S before the price increase in January 2025 ;)
