Exciting Gaming Opportunities Await
For those who may have missed the excitement of this year’s Steam summer sale, there remains a golden opportunity to enhance your gaming library without breaking the bank. In a collaborative effort, 2K and Humble have unveiled a 2026 ‘Megahits’ bundle, offering an impressive collection of 15 games for just . While the title might invite a bit of skepticism, the selection certainly boasts several essential titles that deserve a spot in any Steam library, including a personal favorite of mine from the shooter genre.
At the forefront of this bundle are three standout games: Risk of Rain 2, Borderlands 3, and Mafia 2. Risk of Rain 2, although unplayed by me, has garnered a commendable score of 84 from Wes Fenlon in our review, solidifying its status as a fan-favorite. The game’s popularity speaks volumes about its engaging gameplay and community appeal.
Moving on to XCOM: Enemy Unknown, this title brilliantly revitalizes Julian Gollop’s classic tactical strategy game centered on humanity’s defense against alien threats. Interestingly, Gollop’s original XCOM: UFO Defence is also part of the bundle, showcasing its timeless charm. However, for newcomers, I would recommend starting with Firaxis’ version, which offers a more accessible introduction to the game mechanics.
The bundle also features the stunning Homeworld: Remastered Collection, which breathes new life into the visually captivating RTS games of yesteryear. Meanwhile, Bioshock Infinite, despite its occasional narrative convolutions, remains an exhilarating first-person shooter adventure that continues to captivate players.
Among the other notable inclusions are Tales from The Borderlands, regarded as one of Telltale’s finest offerings, and The Quarry, which serves as a spiritual successor to Until Dawn, albeit with slightly less impact. The bundle also presents tactical shooters like Hidden and Dangerous 1 and 2, alongside Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands, Duke Nukem 3D: 20th Anniversary World Tour, Tribes of Midgard, and The Darkness 2.
For those with a penchant for the unconventional, Bulletstorm: Full Clip Edition stands out as a delightfully chaotic FPS. Known for its irreverent humor and innovative skillshot system, it offers a unique gameplay experience that belies its seemingly simplistic premise. Despite its initial commercial struggles, the game remains a personal favorite, and one can only hope for a sequel, even if the odds seem slim.
In total, this bundle presents a delightful mix of timeless classics and commendable sequels, boasting a combined value of 5. The minimum price of entry is set at , though contributors are welcome to pay more if they wish. Notably, a portion of the proceeds will benefit Covenant House, a charity dedicated to supporting homeless and trafficked youth across North and South America.
