Steam drops 10 free downloads to get stuck into

Video games are pretty damn expensive and as much as I hate to be the bearer of bad news, things are only going to get worse from here.

Luckily, Steam understands this by regularly dropping hundreds of free releases that PC gamers can try out at any time.

So to celebrate this, I have put together a list of ten free games you can try right now and this selection has something for everyone.

First up is Dynasty Warriors: Origins, a hack-and-slash war-based game which is set to release fully on 17 January.

However, players can try it out right now courtesy of Steam and the demo gives access to the Battle of Sishui Gate.

Here you will experience your first battle as you take on large forces and powerful enemies on exhilarating battlegrounds.

More amazingly, you will get to experience combat as 1v1000.

Next is Harvest Village if you are looking for something a bit more chilled out.

This resource management game is set during Medieval times and tasks the player with gathering resources and crafting a paradise.

Fans of Among Us and Lethal Company should check out Black Pine: Incident Response.

This 4-player online co-op horror survival game where you and your friends take on the role of hired contractors tasked with exploring the Appalachian Mountains.

However, taking on much-needed repairs is a lot more dangerous when monstrous creatures lurk in the dark.

If you are in the mood for a RPG, then I have you covered with Philna Fantasy.

Fan of 2021’s Lake? Then you would love Brass.

This interactive adventure will see you take on the role of Brass who must deliver letters and packages to nearby villagers.

However, Brass’ journey begins for real when he receives a letter from his grandmother which sets him off on an exciting and heartwarming adventure.

There is another adventure to be had in Isle of Reveries, a pixel-art fantasy story which will see you take on a pilgrimage skybound to the mysterious isle.

On your journey, you will battle through mysterious dungeons, solve tough puzzles and fight dangerous enemies and all whilst appreciating a retro-style title.

Last but not least is Acts of Blood, a beat ‘em up title which focuses on fast-paced, brutal hand-to-hand combat in the dystopian city of Bandung, Indonesia.
