Save Big On These Excellent Steam PC Games

The Humble Store is running a sale on PC games from Aspyr this week. Aspyr specializes in Mac and Linux ports, which means you don't even need a Windows machine to take advantage of the sale. The Windows versions are also discounted, because Humble distributes these games in the form of Steam codes, which are unlocked across all relevant PC operating systems. Here are some of the standout titles discounted between now and October 1 at the Humble Store.

The world-conquering sim Civilization VI is on sale for $24 this week. As with previous entries in the series (several of which are also on sale), it has you start a settlement and guide it over the centuries to become a major world power. You can do this in a variety of ways, including military dominance, cultural influence, and technological superiority. The sci-fi real-time strategy game Homeworld Remastered Collection is also on sale for $10.50.
