What are your favourite free PC games?

I remember free video games sucked back in the early/mid 2000s. You'd play them for a bit, get really into them, and then realise you have to pay real money to buy in-game items to advance/win. It's always so discouraging. I used to be huge into them, but after a while, I figured "hey, instead of buying these shitty in-game items, I might as well buy a legit game once and never have to pay money again!"

Nowadays, I'm seeing lots of GREAT free games popping up. They are a lot more fair and players do not get an upper hand when they have extra cash to spend.


It's no surprise that League of Legends is one of the most popular games out there. Every week there is a set number of free characters you can play as, but if you have the extra money, you can buy characters that you can play whenever you want. You can also buy skins to make your favourite characters look pretty.

Path of Exile is another good one. It's an online RPG. People say it's the kind of game that Diablo 3 should have been. The only items they sell for real money are strictly for aesthetics. For example, I have a little kiwi bird as a pet. It doesn't attack monsters or anything - it just runs around looking cute.

Steam is also a great place to find pay-games for free. A few years ago, I got a free copy of the first Portal game on Steam (this was around the time that Portal 2 was coming out). I also got Torchlight 1 for free when I purchased a copy of Torchlight 2. And I'm sure by now every steam user has Dota 2.


Anyway, enough rambling from me! Do you have any favourite free games?

Hmm I've never tried LoL but I heard it's a great free game, I <3 my steam account I don't think any of my games were free tho I think I may have gotten worms for free on a promo day, really love that game :P, I used to always play free flash games when I was younger but not anymore.

I was really into Audition for quite some time, but hardly have the time to play online games anymore.

When I do have the time, I usually just go to Kongregate and mess around with a few of their games to waste time.

The Johnny Rocketfingers series from there makes my whole life lol.

I like a lot of the free Flash games that are out these days. My favorite free non-Flash game is Naev. It's an Escape Velocity clone where you fly around the galaxy trading, fighting pirates, and doing all kinds of missions.

Well I'm a huge steam gamer and one of the best free to play games out there is Blacklight: Retribution. It not only is free to play it is fun, LOL.
