Steam drops 10 free downloads to enjoy right now

Not sure what to play next? Want to add even more games to your Steam backlog? Then I have you covered.

It is never easy deciding what to play despite our backlogs being longer than our arms. Do you play a new release or a game you have been meaning to try for ages?

It’s a tough decision.

Luckily, I am here to make things even harder for you by introducing you to 10 new games that have recently arrived on Steam.

Not only that but they are absolutely free to try out as each has a downloadable demo.

First up is a big one - Dead Rising Deluxe Remastered.

As a definitive remaster of the 2006 classic, players can expect a full graphical overhaul of this zombie-slaying action game.

Take on the role of journalist Frank West who finds himself locked inside a zombie-infested mall after it has been put under quarantine by the U.S. army.

Vörös Gergely

Next is 7th Floor, a first-person story-driven horror game.

If you have just finished the Silent Hill 2 Remake and didn’t get your fill of creepy hospitals, then you are in luck as players will need to try and survive in a “hospital of madness”.

It is up to you to find your missing daughter but with the hospital home to all manner of secrets, it won’t just be the dark that you will need to deal with.

We are on a zombie kick right now as Into the Dead: Our Darkest Days is another game you can’t miss out on.

This side-scroller zombie survival game takes place in 1980s Texas where Walton City has fallen to a mass outbreak.

Players will need to lead a band of desperate survivors from refuge to refuge, all whilst scavenging for supplies, crafting and, of course, fighting the undead.

Stick together and plan wisely or else there is no getting out alive.

Fans of soulslike games are also covered, but perhaps not in the way they would expect with Glaciered.

This action-adventure title will see you explore the seas at the end of time, 65 million years into the future when the world has frozen over.

You will take on the role of a Tuai - a species evolved from birds - as they protect the Everwinter from those that threaten it.

Torbellino Games

Kitsune’s Paths is a tower defence 2D strategy title where you must protect the portals and aid the good spirits.

Inspired by Japanese mythology, you must stop demons from invading as the Forest Protector and you will need to use your speed and strategy to keep peace among the realms.

Soon you will find yourself transforming into the legendary nine-tailed fox as you fulfil your destiny.

Those who are in the mood for a puzzle-platformer can check out Eva’s Lab.

This first-person puzzle game is created by a solo developer and sees you take on the role of Eva who finds herself waking up alone in a laboratory.

Guided by AI, Eva must use her force field gun to navigate puzzles in order to leave the lab and find freedom.

Fans of story-driven LGBTQIA+ games can try Ecliptic, a 3D puzzle adventure title set amongst the stars.

Inspired by the mythological characters featured in the Zodiac, players must embark on a journey in order to discover their identity as well as the unfamiliar world they find themselves in.

Doryah Games

Another roguelite and one of my favourite additions to this list is Savara.

This colourful dungeon-crawler will see you participate in the festivities organised for the warrior god.

It is up to you to equip your best weapons and prove your valour against legendary monsters as you fight to carve your name in history.

Horror fans, I have you covered too.

Behind the Veil is a hyper-realistic horror title viewed entirely through a bodycam.

You must navigate various abandoned locations where the line between reality and nightmare blurs, but do you have what it takes to peek behind the veil?

Created in Unreal Engine 5, this horror game is guaranteed to have you jumping at every turn.

Last but certainly not least is Crown Gambit, a story-rich RPG that tells the story of three intrepid paladins during a bloody war for ascension.

With the medieval kingdom overcome with political turmoil, players must pick a side amongst the noble families as they choose the future monarch and crush those who dare stand in their way.
