When it comes to PC gaming, there's so many great games out there that you can play, but most of them cost money. With many people under self-quarantine right now, many are turning to gaming as a means to pass the time. Some people are financially struggling right now so I decided to throw together a list of five great PC games that are completely free to download and play.
Let's get into it!
Halo 5: Forge Bundle
Believe it or not, you can download and play Halo 5 completely for free. This is the Forge Bundle however which doesn't come with a campaign, but does have online multiplayer which many would enjoy. I downloaded this last night and played it for around half an hour before I realized that I'm horrible at this game. It's a fun game though for someone looking for something a bit different to play. You can download it for free from the Microsoft Store.
Pac-Man Championship Edition 2
While there's plenty of shooters out there for free right now, maybe you're looking for something a bit more old-school. If so, Pac-Man Championship Edition 2 might just be what you're looking for. It's a more modern take on a well-beloved classic. At least for now, you can add this one to your Steam library for free!
Ironsight
Did you enjoy Call of Duty: Warzone, but got tired of running into hackers? If so then let me introduce you to Ironsight. This free-to-play shooter is as close to a Call of Duty game as you'll get without it actually being Call of Duty. If you don't believe me, just look at gameplay footage of it yourself. Even better, download it and try it yourself! It's free so what do you have to lose?
Runescape
I'm a bit biased towards Runescape as it was the first PC game that I really ever got into when I was a teen. I remember that I used to always bug my sweet elderly neighbor to use her computer to play it and play it I did! I'm personally more of a fan of old-school Runescape, but for new players, the updated version may just be their cup of tea. Whether you're a fan from back in the day or someone new looking for a good free-to-play MMORPG, then Runescape is certainly worth checking out!
Gods Unchained/Hearthstone
I'm including both Gods Unchained and Hearthstone as the final spot on this list. I haven't been much into cards games myself lately, but Hearthstone is very addictive and I personally played it for close to three years. On the otherhand, Gods Unchained takes a lot of inspiration from Hearthstone but with less RNG and the fact that you actually own the cards that you get. You can even sell them for real money (ETH) if you'd like. Build a deck, make friends along the way, and try your hardest to get to the top!
