The humble Humble Bundle is celebrating its 15th anniversary this year, and this brand-new deal might just be one of the best deals of PC games we’ve seen in a hot minute.
$15 for 15 games. That’s right, $1 each. And no, these aren’t your typical shovelware slop. All these games retail for £118.46/$157.41.
There’s an absolute gem with 95% Positive on Steam, and the lowest is 72% Positive on Steam, which is still an incredible score.
Best of all, every purchase supports Comic Relief, a major UK charity that fights for a just world free from poverty. Here are all the games you can get your hands on!

First up, we’ve got Rocket Rat, a ridiculously cheesy survivors-like game where you defeat cheese-based astral bodies in space - as a rat! Guns, waves of enemies and moon-based hijinks - sounds like a gouda time to me. It reTAILS (hah) for £4.99, so a decent CHUNK of change to be saved there. That last one might’ve been a bit of a stretch.
Next up, we’ve got Necroking, a dark strategy roguelike with 84% Positive on Steam, with a sublime soundtrack that really gets you into the rhythm of the game. It’s a turn-based tactics roguelite with vast deckbuilding, where you play as a Master of Necromancy who raises armies of the dead. Build your skulls deck, raise skeletons and other scum to defeat settlements desecrated by life.
Kingsgrave is a 72% Positive dark fantasy adventure RPG with a stripped back, gorgeous pixel art style. You’re a monarch who has been sleeping for an age, and a dreadful disease has struck your kingdom. Unite the fractured lands, vanquish the darkness, and lead your people to prosperity like old times.
These indie games are perfect for a handheld shorter gaming session, optimised for Steam Deck.
Janosik is a 96% Positive etro-style action platformer with Metroidvania-lite elements. Its fast-paced, screen-by-screen gameplay is incredibly satisfying on a handheld. Since the levels are broken into distinct challenges, it’s easy to clear a few rooms during a quick 15-minute break, with about 6 hours total play time.
If that’s not your cup of tea, what about Pile Up! Box by Box? It’s a 95% Positive chilled-out 3D puzzle platformer. Colourful, low-stress, and the "box-stacking" mechanics work flawlessly on the Steam Deck. Plus, it only takes about 3 hours.
If you’re a fan of classic cinematic platformers like Prince of Persia or Flashback, Lunark is a must-play. The pixel art looks stunning on the Deck’s screen, and the precise, grid-based movement feels right at home on a D-pad. It’s divided into clear stages, making it perfect for episodic play. Plus - 86% on Steam! Not bad at all.
Now, you can buy them separately, but Distraint Deluxe Edition and Distraint 2, with 93% / 96% Positive respectively, are side-scrolling psychological horrors that are short, but oh so memorable. Definitely check out both at this price, as the stories are linked.
Told you, this Humble Bundle is excellent value for money.
What about the highest rated game on this list - Orten Was The Case. With a massive 98% Positive on Steam, a lot of reviews liken it to Deathloop. This is a free movement puzzle/adventure game where you play as a youngster stuck in a time loop with the simple task of saving the world from literal destruction.
Ever wanted to be the Wolf of Wall Street without the legal fees? The Invisible Hand is a satirical stock market simulator where you manipulate currencies and "lobby" your way to the top, where your wildest dreams of wealth can come true… at the cost of everything else. Usually retailing for $12.99, getting this for $1 is an ironic bargain that makes the game’s cynical take on "getting rich quick" feel appropriate.
A brilliant mashup of city-builder and deck-builder, Technotopia plays like a futuristic, more complex version of Reigns. Guess what! $1!
Number 13 on this list is Dropsy: Warm Damp Hug Edition. Ew. It retails for $9.99.
Ignore the slightly creepy exterior; Dropsy is one of the most heartwarming, non-verbal point-and-click adventures ever made. As a misunderstood clown, your goal is to spread kindness through hugs in a world that fears you. The Warm Damp Hug Edition includes the soundtrack and a digital book, making your $1 go further.
If you’re not into clowns, how about a high-speed sci-fi action? ION Shift is a sleek FPS usually priced at $5.99. It’s all about fast movement and quick reflexes.
If you like Enter the Gungeon but wish it had more tumbleweeds and grit, Undead West is a dollar well spent. It’s a top-down, bullet-hell roguelike where you play as a gunslinger brought back by Death to hunt down a supernatural enemy. Retailing for $7.99, it offers snappy combat and a clever whiskey-based power-up system that sounds like my ideal weekend.
Janosik 2 is a real love letter to retro action-platformers, dripping with Slovakian folklore and tight, 8-bit-inspired graphics. It’s a massive sequel that adds character-swapping and sprawling maps to the"slash-and-dash combat of the original. Usually $8.99, this is a high-quality indie gem that feels like a premium handheld experience for a literal fraction of its usual cost.
And finally, last but certainly not least with 77% Positive on Steam, is Glitchhikers: The Spaces Between. This is a meditative, liminal experience designed for those late-night sessions when you just want to be alone with your thoughts. price of $12.99, paying $1 for this atmospheric journey is the best way to disappear into a dreamy, lo-fi world for a few hours.
And there you have it! An excellent collection of highly-rated games, with all donations going to a good cause. But be quick! This Humble Bundle deal is only around until 15 April, so don’t miss out. One flag - all these keys expire. So if you do decide to buy, all titles should be redeemed before April 15th, 2027.
