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.

It is time for another Humble Choice. The October selection has Arkane"s latest immersive sim as its headliner. In total, the bundle carries eight games that you can grab as a single package.

The included games are Deathloop, Monster Train First Class Edition, The Dark Pictures Anthology: Little Hope, Disciples: Liberation, Maid of Skier, Epic Chef, Railroad Corporation, and Golf Gang.

You receive all eight games if you join Humble Choice"s $11.99 lone subscription tier. You also get additional benefits like access to a selection of DRM-free games in the Humble Games Collection, and an increasing Humble Store discount.

Humble also brought in two new games bundles this week, and first up is the RPG Legends collection.

This carries enhanced editions of Icewind Dale and Planescape for $1, followed by Neverwinter Nights Complete, alongside Baldur"s Gate I, its DLC, and Baldur"s Gate II for $10. The third and final tier costs $20 to pick up and only adds one item, that being a copy of Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous.

Humble also introduced a Warhammer Vermintide Franchise Bundle just yesterday. This offers the first Vermintide for $1, while the second tier at $10 offers Vermintide 2. The higher up on the tiers you go, the more expansions and DLC you receive, with 19 pieces of additional content available in the final tier for $18.

Epic didn"t forget to put up its weekly freebie either, with it bringing Rising Hell and Slain: Back From Hell to replace last week"s Runbow and The Drone Racing League Sim giveaways.

Rising Hell offers a roguelite experience in randomly generated levels filled with vertical platforming and enemies. Slain: Back from Hell also has plenty of enemies and bosses to take down, but with a focus on giving more of a challenge. Both games feature metal soundtracks to keep the action flowing.

The two hell-themed titles are yours to claim through October 13. Coming up next to the store as a freebie is a copy of the classic mash-up collection ToeJam & Earl: Back in the Groove.

You have until October 10 to experience gameplay slices of upcoming indie titles, of which there are hundreds from almost every genre imaginable. Head to the hub page here to sort through the available demos.
