This Weekend's PC Game Deals: Steam's annual Anime Sale is on, cheap deals abound

This Weekend's PC Game Deals is a roundup of games - old, new, or soon to be released - that are available at a great price and can be activated on Steam, Origin, or Uplay - sometimes even good old games that are DRM-free.

First, we have to remind you that the Humble Store currently has a deal for the passionate gamers who want to subscribe to their monthly package of gems for just $12/month. The subscription is called “Humble Monthly”, and if you subscribe before May 5, you'll get a copy of Mad Max (currently $16.79 on IndieGala) as part of the first bundle, as well as a 10% discount on all purchases for as long as you stay subscribed.

Another deal from the Humble Store is “the Devolver Bundle”, which will only last three more days. For just $1, you can get a copy of A Fistful of Gun, RONIN, and Gods Will Be Watching, as well as a 10% discount off the “Humble Monthly” subscription that we mentioned above. Pay more than the average ($5.02 as of the moment of writing this article), and you'll unlock the excellent Shadow Warrior Special Edition and 50% off the critically-aclaimed The Talos Principle at the Humble Store (currently $45), among other things.

If you're willing to spend $10 or more, know that you'd be helping the GamesAid and CareBox charities, and you'd be treated with a copy of Titan Souls and Hatoful Boyfriend: Holiday Star on top of everything you get at the lower tiers.

Steam has recently kicked off its annual "Anime Sale", and if you've been following the news, you might be tempted to think that you'll find video content like anime movies and shows. However, that is not the case, and the sale actually includes a list of over 200 anime-styled games, ranging from puzzle adventure to RPGs.

There are also plenty of other PC game deals available this week, and we've made a selection of titles that are either available at the lowest price since release, or somewhat close to the lowest price point. Some of them are flash sales - so act quickly.
