There seems to be plenty of free PC games out there. Some of those free titles are surprisingly fun and their quality/content surpasses that of those titles that be found on the retail shelves. So, in this thread post any PC games that you think belong in that free-and-great category. Please include a few mini-screenshots and a short description for the sake of our ADHD afflicted members.


Here is a title to get things started:

Ferrari Virtual Race

You get to drive/race several Ferrari vehicles. The game is pretty nice looking, for a free game that is. Can be downloaded from the link below. Approximate size: 75MB

Screenshots:

Me too and being blown away by the graphics. In fact, I installed it from my original CD and it runs just fine on W10.

"this is getting serious!" :D

I just remember how fine it ran on that machine 16 years ago. Just thinking should I build a real retro-pc or a high-end XP gaming pc, hmm..

In the hunt for games/sims that have joystick support and I get to shoot stuff, I came across DCS World which is free to play but the add-on aircraft (you get two free, apparently) are rather expensive.
I'll give it a whirl although the learning curve is said to be a little steep.

I just checked, game is not free.
The search engine Duckduckgo is showing this when you search for the game. Apparently the game was free.

It's not free, go to steam website with the game, there's a price, i just checked again on the steam website.

When I made the post the game was free. Period. You replied five hours later. I'm terribly sorry but giveaways in Steam are time limited. Also, this is "free games" thread, not "I'm late to the party I wanna make a ruckus about that".

Further proofs:

When free with limited time then you should say so like what you are posting here. This will make user(s) response much more quickly into getting a free game with minutes left on the clock. & no, I did check much earlier about two hours after your first posting but did not have the time to comment on your posting. So it looks like when you first posted it was free, but it seems there was not much time left, or it was not free at all when you first posted, ie time had already expired.

The only way to find out is to ask did any TPU user get the game free.

Since people here have started to complain about time-limited offers, here's a page screenshot of September 1, 7:47, UTC.
I know I wasn't complaining. Even tried to argue in your favor that it was free.

Borderlands 2 is required being it's DLC.
It was super short too. I‘ve played everything Borderlands this was a lead up to 3. It was maybe an hour or so worth of content and was originally free on Steam to owners.

Basically everything posted here is free for a limited time.

Correct, but there should be reasonable time left for user(s) to respond. I say if there is three days or less the time period should be posted otherwise you will get user(s) posting "it's not free".
