Steam game deals are everywhere all the time which can make it hard to pick out some of the best promos, but if you’re looking for a new Steam game or two to play this weekend and beyond, you could do much worse than one 17-game bundle that’s live now. It’s actually supposed to be an 18-game bundle where you can pick whatever Steam games you want from it to save more as you pick more, but at least one of the games was so popular that it’s already sold out, so some of the others will likely follow suit soon.

The Steam game bundle in question is hosted over on Fanatical’s site and is focused on indies, but it’s certainly got some games in it that Steam users will have already heard of. Several games from the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. series, for example, are in the bundle to hold people over while they wait for S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chernobyl to release. If survival-horror shooters aren’t your speed, you have much lighter options, too, like Tinykin and Slap City.
Like other Fanatical bundles, this one works by saving more if you pick more. Choose 2two games and they’re $2.50 apiece, four games and they’re only $2.25 apiece, and seven or more games and they’re $2.14 apiece. If you choose all the games, you can get them for exactly $36.41 which is far better than the normal price of $366.81 for all those Steam games.
You can check out the Fanatical bundle of indie Steam games right here, but each of the games is also previewed below so you can see if they’re worth your time.
S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl
“Mercenaries and bounty hunters compete to recover these artifacts, which command extortionate prices on the black market. Others seek to find the truth behind the Zone, while some merely revel in the desolate lawlessness of the place. Whatever their motivation, over time these individuals โ Scavengers, Trespassers, Adventurers, Loners, Killers, Explorers and Robbers โ have become known as S.T.A.L.K.E.R.s. Awakening in the Zone, you are one such S.T.A.L.K.E.R., fighting for survival in this man-made Hell, while trying to discover the truth behind Chernobyl’s sinister past and ominous future.”
Not For Broadcast
“Not For Broadcast is an immersive, narrative-driven propaganda sim that lets you set the agenda. Mix four camera feeds, choose the headlines, bleep the bad language โ all under the pressure of a live broadcast. Will you censor the news and be rewarded, or expose the truth and live with the consequences?”
Graveyard Keeper
“It’s dead good fun… experience the most inaccurate medieval cemetery management sim with Graveyard Keeper.

S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Call of Pripyat
“S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Call of Pripyat takes PC gamers once again into the vicinity of the Chernobyl nuclear reactor that exploded in 1986. This so-called “Zone” is a highly contaminated area cordoned off by the military and now is combed through by the so-called stalkers, modern fortune hunters, in search of unique artifacts. In the role of Agent Alexander Degtyarev, who is dressed up as stalker, the player has to investigate the mysterious disappearance of five military helicopters and thereby stand one’s ground against the various stalker groups.”
Streets of Rogue
“Streets of Rogue is a rogue-lite about player choice, freedom, and anarchic fun. The game takes inspiration from fast-paced top-down rogue-lites like Binding of Isaac and Nuclear Throne, and adds free-form, experimentation-driven, emergent gameplay elements of RPGs like Deus Ex.”
S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Clear Sky
“What new challenges await stalkers within the depths of the new zone? Why do anomalous outbursts continue to rattle the Zone, and what can be done to stop them? Which faction will take the upper hand in the Factions War? These and many other questions will be answered in the official prequel โ S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Clear Sky.”
This War Of Mine: Complete Edition
“In This War Of Mine you do not play as an elite soldier, but rather as a group of civilians trying to survive in a besieged city; struggling with a lack of food, medicine, and constant danger from snipers and hostile scavengers. The game provides an experience of war seen from an entirely new angle.”
Pathologic 2

Verdun
“Experience one of the bloodiest conflicts in world history. Verdun is the first multiplayer FPS set in a realistic World War One setting, the game which started the WW1 Game series. The vicious close-quarters nature of trench warfare means that skill with a bayonet can be as vital as good aim with a rifle.”
Lost Castle
“Lost Castle is a super cute, super hard action RPG with roguelike elements and randomized dungeons. Brimming with a host of hand drawn, humorous characters and environments that embrace retro action with modern twists.”
