The Resident Evil series has become the first in Capcom's 40-year history to exceed 100 million sales, the publisher has announced, infesting the world with zombies and mutants.

It's more lively than ever, and in just the last few years we've had the excellent Resident Evil 7, which returned to the series' slow-burning survival horror roots, but with a first-person perspective, and remakes of Resident Evil 2 and 3, the first of which we hailed as the best remake of 2019.

The new Humble Bundle features F1 2019, Dirt Rally 2.0, and an Operation Flashpoint game
https://www.pcgamer.com/the-new-humble-bundle-features-f1-2019-dirt-rally-20-and-an-operation-flashpoint-game/
You might expect that the Humble Codemasters Bundle 2020 would be all about cars. Racing games of various sorts is what the company is known for, after all. And you'd be close to correct—but not quite spot-on.
The entry-level $1 tier gets you Grid Autosport and Toybox Turbos, both racing games. But you'll also get Overlord 2, the game of being evil, and Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising, the game that sparked a trademark beef with Bohemia Intearctive in 2009.
Beat the average price, and you'll add F1 2018 and the Headline Content DLC Pack, Dirt Rally, Dirt 4, and the Hyundai R5 Rally Car and Team Booster DLC packs. And at the top tier of $15 or more, you'll tack on the excellent racing games F1 2019 and Dirt Rally 2.0. (Seriously, check out those review scores.)
>> And at the Humble Store there's a Monster Hunter World weekend sale , with up to 34% discounts for the next 3 days; https://www.humblebundle.com/store/promo/monster-hunter-world-franchise-weekend/
