Great news, the Castlevania: Dracula's Origin Pack can now be purchased from Nuuvem, no VPN required.
Includes Steam codes for:
Lords of Shadow - Ultimate Edition
Lords of Shadow 2 (plus all DLC)
Lord of Shadows - Mirror of Fate HD
The site states that one of the DLC items is currently out of stock but I did receive a key.

The codes are individual if you happen to own any of them already.

Are most of the games available to purchase and install without a VPN on that site? looking at picking up the alien isolation collection if I can play in the UK

No unfortunately they have clamped down due to pressure from publishers.
Although many keys are not region locked they will check your Paypal address and decline the purchase.
We used to use a VPN in the past but it rarely works these days.

Good find especially since for some reason lord of shadows 2 did not get discounted in Europe in the recent steam sale. Rare to find non VPN requiring stuff on nuuvem these days too.

At least nuuvem are trying to help.. well according to twitter anyways.. from what I've seen them say most things are locked via publishers (obviously) but they're working to get as many unlocked afaik.

The games say "Available Regions for Activation: South America". Even if it works, there may be repercussions. Your choice but worth noting.

These games are international and have no regional coding. The thing to avoid is using a VPN to activate regional keys on your Steam account (e.g. Street Fighter V has specific keys for Russia/Brazil)

Very brief guide for buying on Nuuvem -
Use this to see if a game is region locked - http://vps202375.ovh.net/STLOCKS/#purchType
Nuuvem usually lists games as only being available in Brazil or South America even when there are no region locked versions of the game. If that site says a game is region free from BR -> GB then it probably is, regardless of what Nuuvem claims.
Try to purchase without a VPN. This probably won't work but it's worth a try (it's the exception rather than the rule).
If you get to basket and it says a game isn't available in your region, get a VPN and set it to Brazil and refresh. Personally I've found that the TunnelBear extension for Chrome works really well with Nuuvem. Some people say to turn the VPN off when logging into Paypal but I've never found that necessary - I just leave it on the whole time and I've never had a problem.
If you get through checkout okay but then it fails on verification (when you get the 40 second countdown) then the game is also address locked, which means they've checked your Paypal account and seen you have a UK address. To buy one of those games you'll need a Brazilian Paypal account with a Brazilian address. That's where it starts to become more trouble than it's worth!
