Ever wonder why nobody makes free stuff that is good?
Well....they do! Now you may have heard of some games here. But were skeptical about malware or having them eat your pets while you slept. But worry not! They do!! No...wait....they don't.
Feel free to add to the list if you want. But this list is for quality. Demos or throw away bargain bin stuff not welcome.
1-Cataclysm Dark Days Ahead (Linux, Windows and Mac) zombie survival sandbox
2-Stalker Anomaly (Windows, Linux using Lutris) Standalone game "mod" FPS based in the stalker game series
3-UnReal World (Windows, Linux and Mac) Ancient wilderness survival....and yes he is wearing a dead critter on his head!
4-FreeOrion (Windows, Mac and Linix) Master of Orion project
5-FreeCiv (Windows, Linux) Civilization project
6-Endless Sky (Windows, Mac and Linux) Space game similar to Star Control + Space Rangers(minus battle mechs)
7-Minetest + MineClone5(Windows) Minecraft clone and accepts mods. Pretty darn close to vanilla MineCraft
8-Thief The Dark mod (Windows) Similar to the Thief franchise games, except fanmade content

10-Kings Quest 1-3 Remade by AGD Interactive (Windows and Mac; maybe linux via Lutris)
11-Quest for Glory 2 Remade by AGD Interactive (Windows and Mac) Adventure remakes. Very well made!
12-The Elderscrolls: Daggerfall
13-The Elderscroll: Arena
Checkout DFWorkshop to spice up these elderscrolls titles for modern machines. Just read everyhing. It is a loooooinnnnngggg rabbit hole of modding.
14-Battle for Wesnoth! (Windows, Mac, Linux and Android) Turn based fantasy strategy.
15-Seven Kingdoms(7kfans) (Windows and Linux) Empire building like Civilization
16-FlareRPG (Windows Mac and Linux) Homebrew in the vein of Diablo
17-Stranded 2 (Windows) An island survival sim made to be played on potatoes!
18-0 AD (Windows, Linux and Mac) open-source real-time strategy game of ancient warfare. Think of ancient rome.
19-Unknown Horizons (Windows and Linux) Old world colony building. As in pirates of the high sea, not space.
20-UFO: Alien Invasion (Windows and Linux) UFO/Xcom game that is 3Dish and plays as you would be familiar with.
21-Assault Cube (Windows, Linux and Mac) Arena FPS gameplay. Single and multi-player modes.
22-Super Fighters (Windows, Linux via Lutris) Freebie action arena with pixel side scroll graphics. Cute time waster.
23-SimuTrans (Windows, Linux and Mac) Train, Simcity clone
24-OpenTransportTycoonDeluxe(Windows and Linux) Another city build simulation, but for transportation.
25-WideLands (Windows, Linux and Mac) Settler 2 clone.
26-FreeCol (Windows and Linux requires java) Colonization remake to look better than DOS.

30-Dwarf Fortress Classic (Windows, Linux and Mac) Fantasy world simulator/builder with bad graphics and dwarves!
31-UnCiv (Windows and Linux) A civilization 5 clone. Can find whats new on github and get it via itch.io.
32-Birth of Empires (Windows and Linux) Bit of a Star Trek and Master of Orion 4x mashup. Also itch.io.
33-Marathon Trilogy (Windows, Linux and Mac) 3 fps games set in a different universe, yet similar to Halo. Looks and plays like Doom and Shadow Warrior. Can find them at Alephone.
34-Space Quest 2 VGA Remake (Windows, Linux and Mac) Nice fan made remake of an old point & click adventure. The Download button on Itch.io leads to a optional donation, but the game is free if you keep going.
35-Veloren (Windows and Linux) Single and multi player RPG game. Looks like MineCraft but has Single player WASD Neverwinter vibe...only cuter. Still being developed, yet functional with nightly builds and bug fixing frequently. Join their discord and help make the game or bring new ideas to it.
36-Dink Smallwood (Windows and Linux) Old DOS days kind of RPG, that looks like a strange lovechild between Ultima 8 and The Horde.
37-Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup (Windows, Linux and Mac) Straight forward Rogue with optional old school and tiles artwork similar to the early Ultima games.
These games can be run on most intel HD or low end amd CPUs. Free wont let you down! Remember to read their sites for bugs and see what each game is about. Search engines are your friend. So, no links?? Use google
A friendly shout out to StarTrail and the list compiled of free games here on GOG as follows:
https://www.gog.com/forum/general/list_of_free_games_on_gog/page1
Though the games listed in my list can be found openly, any game on GOG requires an account to access.
But it is still a nice list so go check it out. Enjoy!
