The end is nigh in these games currently on sale in the Humble Bundle store.
Having an objective in your video game is a pretty crucial component, with the stakes being anything from making a sandwich to murdering God; everyone’s got something that suits their style and rhythm.
One thing that’s regularly used as an objective is simply surviving, and often an apocalyptic or post-apocalyptic setting goes hand-in-hand with that.
The doom and gloom of end-times despair is a fine test of endurance for players, and it’s an unsurprisingly popular niche in gaming. That comes in all shapes and sizes, so there’s plenty of apocalyptic variety out there, some of which you can pick up on the cheap right now via the Humble Bundle store.
Let’s go through a few highlights and find some joy at the end of the world.
The End is Nigh - Humble’s Apocalyptic Discounts

- STALKER Franchise Sale
- METRO Franchise Sale
- Resident Evil Franchise Sale
- Dead Rising Franchise Sale
- Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 - £33.59
- Cronos: The New Dawn - £34.99
I said joy, didn’t I? Well, it’s maybe a bit of a stretch to say STALKER 2’s hostile, anomaly-riddled wasteland is in any way joyous, but it sure is captivating. You can currently pick up the Ultimate Edition for 30% off, giving you the whopping survival shooter and its extra gubbins for £62.99. You can also pick up the Standard Edition for £34.99.
Keeping things Eastern European and irradiated, why not indulge in Metro Exodus ahead of the release of Metro 2039? The Gold Edition is a whopping 85% off at the moment. You can also pick up the 2033 and Last Light Redux bundle for a frankly ridiculous £2.49.
If you want your apocalypse moment to be a touch more entertaining and pulpy, then the Resident Evil Remake Trilogy has oodles of Raccoon City outbreak chaos to indulge in with Resident Evil 2 and 3 Remake, but you also get the Resident Evil 4 Remake in there. All for 60% off.
Or there’s that other great zombie-smashing Capcom gem. Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster is 50% off, which means you can do some goofy zombie slaying for under twenty pounds.
If you’ve had your fill of Resident Evil and zombie outbreaks recently and want a different, new flavour of survival horror with an apocalyptic twist, then look no further than Bloober Team’s time-bending sci-fi horror Cronos: The New Dawn, which is 30% off.
Sometimes the end times aren’t as straightforward as nukes and viral outbreaks. Sometimes it’s a more personal, surreal apocalypse like it is for the party of Expedition 33 in Clair Obscur. If you’ve yet to sample the multi-award-winning RPG, it’s just £33.59 right now.
That’s a whole lot of apocalyptic adventures at very reasonable prices, so best get them while they’re going cheap.
