Four free Steam games can be yours right this second for absolutely free, but are any of them worth playing?
Free is free, but your time is priceless, so is it worth actually trying any of these free games on Steam, even if you don’t have to shell out any cash to get your hands on them?
Let’s find out together, because these are just as new to you as they are to me. As always, credit to the Free Steam Games Twitter account for finding these Steam freebies.
First up, the side-scrolling smush-em-up Rocrasher from developer and publisher Rock Head Studio.
Advert
This one sort of looks like a cute but weird combination between Katamari Damacy and Angry Pigs. You play as a giant boulder who, for whatever reason, has been tasked with absolutely demolishing everything in its path.
Perhaps “basic” might be a kind way to describe this one, but I think it has some charm to it. Slightly concerned that the “little figures” you’re forced to crush are actually little people, but hey, it still looks like fun for all the family.
Next up, V.START, a retro-style platformer by developer and publisher OwenOak95.
If you told me this game originally released on the ZX Spectrum in the 80s, I would believe you. It’s a very clear throwback to the bright, garish, and often frustrating platformers that were released as shovelware back in the late 80s to the mid-90s.
This one might only appeal to a specific crowd, but I reckon said crowd will absolutely adore it.
This one looks like it was designed in a lab to appeal just to me: Guns&Sodas, an arcade-inspired roguelite from developer and publisher Marco Biscetti.
Alright, yes, indie devs are going a bit overboard with making roguelikes at the moment, but even I think this one justifies its existence based on the art style alone.
It looks potentially a bit simplistic, sure, and I don't think you'd be able to get more than a couple of hours' worth of playtime out of it, but I still think it's worth a try.
And finally, Sunday School is a psychological horror game by developer and publisher Artur Latkovsky, and it’s also the only game on this list with a Steam review consensus.
Psychological horror games are a dime a dozen on Steam, but even I have to admit that the art style on this one is certainly unique. Plus, 75% of reviewers think this one is worth a try, so I’m not gonna argue with the consensus.
That’s the whole list for now, but don’t worry, because more free games are just on the horizon.
Check back in, say, 24-ish hours, and I have a good feeling that another one of these free Steam game lists will be ready and waiting for you.
