PC gamers don't have to spend a bundle to play some great games this week. Steam's regular week-long sale features some fantastic games from the past decade or two of hits. Many of the games are on sale for 75% off, making this the perfect time to jump in on an overlooked modern classic. The sale ends May 13, so grab what you want before then.


You can fight crime in a locked-down Gotham City in Batman: Arkham Knight for just $7/£5. You can micromanage characters of your own creation in The Sims 3 for $5/£6 or go on a sweeping fantasy adventure in Dragon Age: Origins - Ultimate Collection for $7/£3. Perhaps you'd rather learn about fixing up automobiles in Car Mechanic Simulator 2018 for $14/£10.


Several whole series of games are also on sale this week on Steam. For starters, the Far Cry games are on sale for 60% off, bringing the prices down to between $4/£3 and $20/£16 (unfortunately, Far Cry 5 isn't included in the sale). The Mass Effect and Crysis series are also on sale.
