FREE Games List [2008-2021]

Day of the Tentacle fan sequel is now available
Some fans have been working on an unofficial sequel to Day of the Tentacle, called Return of the Tentacle, which is available for download. The game’s story is linked to the predecessor. Purple Tentacle is back and tries to conquer the world and enslave humanity once more. In order to save the world, the three friends Bernard, Laverne and Hoagie make their way back to the mansion of the mad scientist Dr. Fred. In Return of the Tentacle, players will hunt down megalomaniacal Tentacles, have bizarre conversations and solve crazy puzzles. Players will control the characters Bernard, Hoagie and Laverne like in good old 2D Adventure times using their mouse and a modern interface, and they will walk through hand-drawn backgrounds with lovingly animated characters, mood music and soundscape.

Quake Champions Goes Free-to-Play

At QuakeCon today id Software announced that Quake Champions is now free-to-play, bringing the multiplayer shooter full circle to its original launch price. Bethesda.net explains they still consider the game to be in Early Access, that they are selling premium packs to help monetize the game, and what F2P players can expect in return for their no money:

WHAT DO I GET WITH F2P ACCESS?
Free-to-play players get access to all Quickplay, Ranked and Arcade game modes and maps currently available in Early Access, plus two free Champions: Ranger and Scalebearer. New players can unlock more Champions by completing the in-game tutorial and by earning Favor — in-game currency used to unlock Champions and Backpacks — just by playing matches!

Additionally, there’s one free Champion on rotation every week. Try them all out and see which ones fit your playstyle. Once you’ve found a new favorite, you can purchase Champions to own using Platinum, Quake Champions’ premium currency.

Free to grab: For Honor

Just a head up, For Honor is free to download and keep. A while ago there was a similar promotion, this round it's simply a matter of adding the game in steam. The war between Knights, Vikings, and Samurai rages on.

Enter the battlefield for free and claim victory! Invite your friends to finally settle the score and prove who reigns supreme. It is compatible with the season pass and DLCs. One difference is the number of heroes available when you start. Starter Edition includes six playable heroes (instead of 12), with three fully unlocked. Other heroes can be unlocked for 8,000 Steel each (8–15 hours of gameplay, depending on how you play, or $8). – source: reddit

Now available on Steam.

Thanks to Guru3d for this. https://www.guru3d.com/news-story/for-honor-for-free-for-the-weekend.html

Already have it, but seeing this makes me want to reinstall it and play it again. Love the Warhammer universe (both fantasy and 40k) and Space Marine was a decent action spectacle shooter.

Does temporarily free count? Zen Studios (Zen Pinball, Pinball FX) got the Williams & Bally license that FarSight Studios (Pinball Arcade) lost, and you can beta test the first (few?) tables for free right now. Well, Fish Tales is free, and you can trial three others (Medieval Madness, etc.). Right click on Pinball FX3 > Properties > Beta tab > choose from the drop-down menu.

BE WARNED, you'll lose access to your previously bought tables while you're on the beta track, and you'll have to redownload them after you disable the beta:

You COULD have mentioned that enabling the beta removes every other table from the game (except for that one free table), as well as your levels and ranks. Opting out again makes the game re-download 5+ GB of data – i sure hope WITH my old profile…

Badjano Entertainment has released a new free isometric arcade shooter, called Miles Infernum. This indie shooter is a mindless arcade shooter, full of action, explosions and special effects And since it’s free, it’s something that may interest some of you. According to the developers, the terrain is procedurally ( virtually ) infinite, animations are procedurally generated using inverse kinematics and equations, and progression is also procedurally set according to player gameplay.
