Lots of good games here, especially if you like oddball games or visual novels.
Long Live the Queen recently went on my wishlist. It is a visual novel where your choices and underlying statistics matter. I've heard it can play a little like "Groundhog Day," as you'll be dying a lot. Little Lily Princess is a similar game from the same developers, but in that one everyone isn't trying to kill you (afaik).
For Shoot 'em Ups you have the Henteko Quad Pack, which is 4 games in 1. Seems like all four are highly reviewed shmups on Steam. One of them is Tenta Shooter which is basically a shmup with softcore anime girl...you can guess from the name.
River City Girls and Fight N' Rage are both highly reviewed side-scrolling Beat 'em Ups. Not my cup of tea, but if its yours then I'd say go for it.
Then you have some straight-up visual novels which will depend on your tastes:
"If My Heart Had Wings" is probably the standout in this department because of its length, overall quality, and number of routes. If you want the adult scenes, you'll have to find, download and install the "restoration patch" which gets rid of the censorship (including story-relevant scenes that were cut) and also fixes many translation issues. "Flight Diary" is some kind of fan disc spin-off I believe, and was censored without any available restoration patch. Supposedly, the publishers of this game took what was an adult visual novel with hentai scenes and cut a lot of the content, including whole routes because they wanted to market it to "12 year old french girls."
Night Cascades, Rituals in the Dark and Perfect Gold are all Yuri visual novels (girl/girl romance) and all well-reviewed. Though, some might be a little short in length.
The Letter is a horror visual novels. Apparently, some of the characters can be annoying but it is supposed to be cinematic, spooky, and a good length. Saintmaker is another from the same developers, but it has only one playable path (The Letter has like 7, I think) and no meaningful choices, so it is much shorter. It has a creepy religious theme though.
Of the RPG's, seems like Ara Fell is the most liked. Looks like a well-executed traditional RPG. I could have swore I got it in a bundle before though...but can't seem to find it. It seems to be bundled pretty often.
Good Knight is an indie 3D Shmup that is playable with only one button. Looks pretty wild.
Myself, I'll probably get Long Live the Queen, Ara Fell, and Saintmaker (dunno why, just looks creepy and I don't mind the short length at this price.) If I go for 5, I might get Good Knight (for the weirdness) and either Shmup bundle or Night Cascades, because girls in suits. Already own If My Heart Had Wings and Killer is Dead.
If you're having trouble deciding on a game, you can't go wrong with River City Girls!

Yah its the only game I kindy know on the list since I've played River City Ransom back then...
Most on the list seems to be story anime flip-books types of story games...idk

Another vote for River City Girls--it's probably the best game in this bundle.
Ara Fell is an excellent game too and a must-play.
I recommend Fight N Rage, but not as strongly as River City Girls.
No love here for Dark Deity, which is a great modern take on the older-style Fire Emblem / Shinjng Force strategy RPGs. That one should be right up there if you're stuck on one last game
What timing lol, I almost bought Fight N Rage like a week ago because it was on sale for the same price as getting three games but now seeing this I'm glad I didn't commit. Thx for the post.
