BEFORE READING THIS GUIDE
Please do not read this guide using the Steam app, because all game links do not work properly.
I strongly advise you to use a web browser to read this guide.
INTRODUCTION
When I was playing some of these games, every time they made me ask one question:
"Why the hell are these games free?"
That is the main reason I wanted to make this guide, and to let a lot of people know how much these developers love their games, even to release them for free.

In brief, here you will find all the free-of-charge games I played in the last years, and ranked depending on the quality of the game and how much I enjoyed it.


The games are ranked as follows:

Must Play [★★★★★]
Highly Recommended [★★★★]
Recommended [★★★]
Decent Free Games [★★]
Bad Free Games [★]


This ranking is based on my personal preferences, so there are some games that you may not like, but at the same time you can find your next favourite game.

Demos and prologues are marked with the * symbol at the end of the game name.



Requirements in which free games must have to be in this ranking:
- games that are free not for a limited time;
- free-to-play games that don't have microtransactions or in-game purchases;
- free games may have paid DLCs, but they must not to be required to beat a game, therefore they just have to offer extra content.
