Weekend PC Game Deals is where the hottest gaming deals from all over the internet are gathered into one place, every week, for your consumption. So kick back, relax, and hold on to your wallets.

Humble is out in full force this weekend with several gaming bundles surfacing. The new Humble Tales of Love & Adventure Bundle is what we are starting with, a four-tiered, seven-item collection.

Picking up the $1 tier lets you claim Tales of Monkey Island Complete Pack, followed by Telltale Batman Shadows Edition, Reventure, Neo Cab, and Half Past Fate in the average price tier, which is currently around $8.30. The $12 third tier adds on HIVESWAP: Act 2 and Blacksad: Under the Skin, while putting down $15 tops up the bundle with a copy of Indivisble.

Next up is the Humble Stardock Wayfarers Bundle, and it offers Sins of a Solar Empire: Rebellion and Fallen Enchantress: Legendary Heroes in its $1 starting tier. Bumping up to the current average price (around $8.60) adds three more games to the pile, them being Siege of Centauri, Ashes of the Singularity: Escalation, and The Political Machine 2020. Lastly, Star Control: Origins Galactic Edition, Offworld Trading Company as well as its Jupiter"s Forge and Limited Supply DLC packs arrive with the $12 tier.

The store did not stop there, as a build-your-own-bundle promotion is also now active for quite a few Paradox Interactive games and expansions. Games you can grab include Surviving Mars, Age of Wonders Planetfall, Cities: Skylines, Battletech, Shadowrun Trilogy, Imperator Rome, and much more. The overall discount goes up the more games you add to the cart. Don"t forget that last weeks" BundleFest promotions from Fanatical are still online too.

The freebie slot of the Epic Games Store was refreshed right on schedule, and to replace Absolute Drift and Rage 2 arrived Sunless Sea.

This is a top-down survival RPG with a focus on storytelling and exploration where you are in control of a steamship journeying across a dangerous and vast underground ocean. Alongside combatting sea monsters, you get to make vital decisions in your travels to progress the story.

You may add Sunless Sea to your Epic Games Store library for free until March 4, and coming in as the next freebie on that same date is the RTS title Wargame: Red Dragon.
