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 brain tickler bundle

Humble's latest bundle is mixing an interesting lineup of indie games together. It has a collection of 12 titles split into three tiers.

The bundle begins with copies of Super Mutant Alien Assault and The Count Lucanor as the starters, available in the $1 tier. Going up a tier gets you Western Press, We Should Talk, Desert Child, Hiveswap Friendsim, and Elden: Path of the Forgotten for the current average price of the bundle.

The third and final tier costs $9 and adds GONNER2, Etherborn, Mosaic, Beasts of Maravilla Island, and Jack Axe to the collection.

Continuing the bundle streak, Humble also brought in its new Brain Tickler collection this week offering several puzzle, sim, and adventure games.

There are only six games included in the bundle, and paying $1 gets you one of them, a copy of Heal. Stepping up to the second-tier costs as much as the final tier with all games, so let's jump to that one. For $10 you get copies of Lumines Remastered, Mars Horizon, Retro Machina, while True: learn() Chief Technology Officer Edition, and The Signifier Director's Cut.

Epic Games Store didn't forget its free game this week. Sticking to the schedule, Relicta became the latest freebie available, taking the place of Galactic Civilizations III from last week.

The title offers a physics-based puzzle experience that has you taking control of a physicist stranded on the Moon. The gameplay involves manipulating gravity and magnetism to go past and solve issues.

The giveaway is slated to run through Thursday, January 27. It is a copy of DAEMON X MACHINA that's coming up next on the freebie train.
