Look, we get it. Animal Crossing is about as destressifying as any game could possibly be these days. But, c’mon… There are only so many bugs you can put in a museum and so many seashells you can sell while still maintaining any level of gaming edge.

If you’ve already played through everything else in your house and you’ve maxed out on frolicking with anthropomorphic animals, we’ve got a handful of top-shelf games available on Steam at some big discounts to help keep you busy.

The Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic Bundle - $4.99; originally $19.98

In addition to being part of the fabled Star Wars franchise, Knights of the Old Republic and its sequel also stand as two of the most revered, critically-acclaimed games of the past 20 years.

Set 4,000 years before the events of the films, you play the galaxy’s lone surviving Jedi, leading a ragtag band of freedom fighters as the Galactic Republic’s last hope to stop rampaging Sith Lords...but can you hold out from succumbing to the Dark Side? In this collection, you get both blockbuster games, Knights of the Old Republic and Knights of the Old Republic II, for under $5.

Borderlands: The Handsome Collection - $9.99; originally $59.99

Another one of gaming’s biggest hits, Borderlands is all about treasure hunting, lunacy and guns, guns, guns! In this award-winning collection, players shoot and loot as they explore the mayhem-filled world of Pandora in Borderlands 2, then go back and explore how Pandora and main villain Handsome Jack got that way in Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel.
