Games like Devil May Cry, Monster Hunter Rise and Bayonetta all combine great story, action-packed combat and interesting gameplay mechanics, but also let you unwind as you run around and cut things down whenever you please. We’ve picked out some of the best titles Humble has on sale this week.

Monster Hunter Rise
The latest entry in Capcom’s biggest series arrived on PC at the start of the year and quickly became one of the best Monster Hunter games to date. Become a hunter, explore brand new maps and use a variety of weapons to take down fearsome monsters as part of an all-new storyline. With 14 different weapon types that offer unique gameplay styles, a gathering and crafting system, and co-op play, Monster Hunter Rise will keep you busy for a long time. With so much content and future expansions to come, getting the game reduced by 34 per cent is a good idea.

Orcs Must Die! 3
Orcs Must Die! 3 is the newest entry into one of the most entertaining series out there. Solo or with a friend, choose a hero with a unique weapon and place down a massive arsenal of traps and weapons to slice, burn, toss and zap hordes of orcs to stop them invading your castle. There is a brand new story set more than 20 years after Orcs Must Die! 2, where the War Mage and Sorceress have rebuilt the order and trained new young apprentices, as well as a new War Scenarios mode for replayable large-scale action.
