Weekend PC Game Deals is where the hottest gaming deals from all over the internet are gathered into one place every week for your consumption. So kick back, relax, and hold on to your wallets.

The Epic Games Store delivered its freebie for PC gamers as usual this week, and this time, it was a comedic game.

Rustler - Grand Theft Horse is a parody of classic action games like the original top-down GTA entries. Playing as a medieval thug, you get to go through bizarre questlines, drift with horse carts, get towed for parking in "no horse zones," engage in cage-fighting tournaments, and dig up dinosaur skeletons. There are even radio bards to punch for changing music (stations).

The latest giveaway is coming to an end on January 29. On the same day, Definitely Not Fried Chicken is becoming the next freebie.

The Humble Store"s latest bundles are focused on giving large chunks of popular franchises. Up first is the RollerCoaster Tycoon Collection, which carries the classic trilogy, a remaster, and the 3D entry from 2016 into a single bundle for $10.

Next, the Sid Meier Collection lands with 13 games from the strategy and tactical game designer, including Civilization III through VI, Civilization Beyond Earth, Starships, Railroads, Pirates, Pacific Skies, and Ace Patrol, all for $15.

Lastly, the Just Cause Complete Collection comes with the original Just Cause, 2, 3, and 4 Reloaded with a $12 price tag. Also included are over 30 pieces of DLC for the titles, including all expansions.
