What’s better than a Steam deal? A Steam sale that allows you to support a good cause, such as ongoing relief efforts in Turkey and Syria to help hundreds of thousands of victims recover from the devastating natural disaster. That’s the goal of the new Humble Bundle, giving you over $1000 worth of games on Steam for less than the price of one, including Payday 2, XCOM 2, Gotham Knights and some of the greatest classic FPS games on PC. .
With an immediate and desperate need for food, water, shelter and medical supplies for those affected by major earthquakes, charities such as Direct Relief, International Medical Corps and Save the Children are working hard to come helping victims.
Humble Bundle has partnered with many game publishers to bring you a bundle that offers 72 games worth a total of US$1,101 (or £912.77 GBP) for just $30 / £24.92. 100% of your money goes to the three charities mentioned above and you are of course welcome to contribute more than the minimum if you wish to offer additional support.
All games are redeemable on Steam for Windows, and many offer Mac and Linux compatibility as well. You will also find that most of them can also be played or checked out on the Steam Deck. The bundle includes the recent superhero game Gotham Knights, making it a perfect opportunity to pick it up if you’re not sure you’re buying it at full price. It also includes classic genre-defining FPS games System Shock and System Shock 2.
There’s frenetic FPS action in Payday 2 and sublime strategy in the turn-based tactical gameplay XCOM 2. High-octane Ghostrunner cyberpunk gameplay sits alongside medieval Mount & Blade Warband RPGs. If you love fantasy games, Pathfinder Kingmaker might be your speed, while those who prefer something more leisurely can kick back and relax with Euro Truck Sim 2 and Farming Simulator 17.
Fans of adventure games won’t want to miss Backbone’s post-noir styles or Double Fine’s delightfully goofy Stacking. If you love a digital board game, the dark fairytale world of Armello is a must, and you can play one of the all-time greats online against your friends with the inclusion of Ticket to Ride.
On a personal note, I’d recommend Strange Brigade to those looking for fun co-op games: it’s a classic treasure-hunting adventure with satisfying third-person shooters and a clever multiplayer puzzle design that rewards communication. After all, what better time to jump on board than when everyone in your gaming group can pick it up for next to nothing along with dozens of other great games?
If it’s sold, and for such a worthy cause, who wouldn’t be, you can find the bundle on the Humble Bundle website.
With so many great games, that should be more than enough to lead you to more great games to come, with the Diablo 4 release date and Starfield release date on the horizon. Those of you who still need more to play after this might want to take a look at the best free PC games for our top picks.
