#12 The First Descendant
Platforms: PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X and Series S, Xbox One, Microsoft Windows
PlayStation | Xbox | Steam
The First Descendant is a looter shooter where you’ll play a “Descendant,” a special being with abilities fighting for the freedom of their world. This title has both co-op and single-player missions to do, and you can customize your Descendant to your liking such as their weapons and skills.
The problem? It’s not the most balanced or fun game out there. It might show you a good time if you can get past its flaws, but we’ll have to see just how well this game holds up.
#11 Nightmare Kart
Platforms: Windows
Yeah, this isn’t the karting experience you’re expecting, but it’s one that you might want to try out if you’re looking for something new. You play a Beast Hunter, which is already pretty cool, but this one gets roped into a racing “custom” within a town and has to try and survive it so they can escape. No pressure, at all.
The good news is that you’ll be able to use your hunting skills as you race, because you’re not just trying to get to the finish line first, but you’re trying to take out the other drivers and their rides so they can’t mess with you! Fun times…
#10 Dark and Darker
Platforms: Windows
So, you don’t mind danger, and you want to get rich as quickly as possible, huh? Good news: Dark and Darker is a game that helps you embrace that “get rich quick” mentality, and all it asks you to do is descend into a dungeon full of monsters and dangers and get out alive! Nothing challenging in that, right?
Obviously, there are plenty of challenges here. The good news, though, is that you’ll be able to team up with friends to get as much loot as you can before you make a break for the entrance!
Just be wary, there are other teams going for the loot, too, and they might just try and steal yours!
#9 Delta Force
Platforms: PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, Windows
If you’re looking for something a bit more basic, something along the lines of a fun and tactical shooter, then you’ll want to get Delta Force. The game does everything you’d expect from a shooter, including having a good single-player campaign and numerous multiplayer modes. In fact, there are multiple single-player campaigns. One of which is a classic Delta Force mission, and the other takes you into the future!
Regardless of which mode you play, you’ll find plenty of ways to cause havoc and destruction for your enemies, including being able to jump into tanks and drive them around for maximum carnage!
#8 Once Human
Platforms: Windows
In Once Human, you’ll find yourself on a version of Earth that has been infected at every level by an alien invasion. To that end, even the ground, food, and water are contaminated.
That poses a problem for you, one of the few who are able to fight back. You must keep your body going to fight against the aliens, but the more you eat and drink, the more you lose your mind, and unlock special powers.
The game is a true balancing act, and survival very much depends on how you choose to make it through the world.
#7 Throne and Liberty
Platforms: Windows, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S
Steam | PlayStation | Xbox
Oh, you want a MMORPG to dive into? Sure, we can show you another one via Throne and Liberty! This game is about a massive fantasy world where you have one goal, but many options on how to obtain it.
In this case, you’re going after the villainous Kazar, and want to take his throne from him. However, how you do that is up to you. You can build up your forces and attempt to take it straight away. Or, you can travel the realm and see what other things attract your attention.
Just know that once you take the throne, others will come for it. So, be ready!
#6 Stormgate
Platforms: Windows
Stormgate is an RTS that features an Earth that is in peril thanks to two warring alien factions. Each one wants dominance over the other, and you’re caught in the middle trying to beat them both back!
One of the fun twists of the title is that you’ll have the option to play as one of those invading forces and attempt to take over Earth for your kind!
So, if you’re looking for your next RTS adventure, this might be one to check out.
#5 Ocean World: Eden Crafters
Platforms: Windows
So, you want to try a game that’ll have you doing some serious building? We got one that fits the bill. Ocean World: Eden Crafters has a prologue out right now that features a world that needs your “guiding hand.” Specifically, the planet you’re put upon has a “wave problem.” No, not as in its citizens wave too much, but that the moon above causes massive waves that wipe out anything in its path.
So, you’ll need to travel around and make a new home for the other citizens. Grow food, make buildings, and build up protections so that the wave can’t harm you.
It may just be a prologue, but it’s a true taste of what’s to come.
#4 Sheepy: A Short Adventure
Platforms: Windows
Sometimes, the best games are the ones that just let you experience them without giving you ideas on what to expect. Sheepy: A Short Adventure is one such title. If you go to its Steam page, you’ll see that there’s not much to describe the title, which makes it all the more enticing.
You’ll play Sheepy, who’s a plush toy that was mysterious brought to life. However, they weren’t brought to life in our world, per se. Instead, they were brought to life in a world that you might not recognize. Now, you’ll travel around as Sheepy to see where you are, and why you are alive.
#3 Sky: Children of Light
Platforms: Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Windows
Nintendo | PlayStation | Steam
Sometimes, you don’t just want a free game on your PC; you want one that allows you to have fun while also doing something meaningful. If you’re that type of person, you should check out sky: Children of Light.
You’ll be set within “The Realm,” a truly expansive space that is one with the sky and stars above. Yet, darkness has pierced this sacred place, and you are the only one who can help those in need. With the “light” you bear, you’ll seek out your ancestors and others from times long past and send them to the stars where they belong.
Along the way, you’ll see beautiful landscapes, meet incredible characters, and have a “cozy time” while saving the day.
#2 Marvel Rivals
Platforms: PlayStation 5, Windows, Xbox Series X/S
Steam | PlayStation | Xbox
Marvel Rivals is the comic icons take on the team shooter genre, and as you might expect, it plays up the skills of its various heroes and villains. In this case, Galactca, yes, that’s an actual comic character, is bringing together all these characters, and you’ll need to work together with other players to get the win.
The good news is that there are plenty of options to choose from. Loki, Scarlet Witch, Spider-man, Magik, Magneto, and so many more are already available, with even more on the way!
It’ll be a Marvel-ous game, for sure.
#1 Fallout London
Platforms: Windows
Sometimes, free games come in the form of mods. Sure, you can get mods for smaller things like skins and weapons, but sometimes, when the right game comes along, you get an entire DLC title that will blow your mind. Fallout London is that title.
The game is a full-on DLC mod of the series’ fourth entry that moves things from America to London, England. That means that things will be much different here, and that includes new factions to fight alongside or against, having all manner of weapons to use, and experiencing the “London Landscape” with a post-apocalyptic twist!
Please clap your hands for the gamers who worked hard to make this happen.
