Steam drops 8 free downloads you can check out now

If you want to check out some fun Steam games that won't cost you a penny, then you’re in the right place.

Platforms such as the Steam and PlayStation Stores, the Xbox Marketplace and Nintendo eShop are packed full of games and DLC that we can access in an instant. There are also tons of free playable demos that we can jump into without spending a penny.

Check out the Dynasty Warriors: Origins trailer below!

The main benefit of a free playable demo is that we can try before we buy which should drastically reduce the chances of wasting our hard-earned cash. After all, how many times have we been duped by a promising trailer only to discover that the game we’ve just bought sucks?

Sure, free playable demos won't completely guarantee us to not waste our money but at the very least, it gives us the best indication of whether we might like a game or not.

With that in mind, I’ve picked out just eight free playable demos from Steam that you can check out today. Those games are:

• Dynasty Warriors: Origins: “Become immersed in exhilarating battles as a nameless hero in the Three Kingdoms. Traverse tension-filled battlefields where you clash against massive armies stretching as far as the eye can see. How will you handle the onslaught of enemies?”
• Mayhemers: “is a multiplayer chaos creation game for up to 8 players with a procedurally generated map. Choose your side: Will you be a Mayhemer or a Guardian? Mayhemers' task is to create chaos. The Guardians' task is to stop them.”
• Cozy Island: “Take a relaxing walk around a surprise-filled island and build your own secret base! Explore the island, meet cute animals, play fun mini-games, and collect cool toys and furniture.”
• Cairn: “Attempt your first ascent with Aava in the Tenzen mountain ridge. Climb anywhere and plan your route carefully, managing pitons and resources as you explore the mountain. Hone your skills before the ascent of unforgiving Mount Kami.”
• Sultan’s Game: ”The Sultan commands you to play a cruel game. Each week, you must draw one of four special cards: the Carnality card requires you to seek carnal pleasures; Extravagance compels you to spend lavishly; Conquer forces you into dangerous expeditions; and Bloodshed demands a human.”
• Foundation: “is a grid-less, laidback medieval city-building game with a focus on organic development, monument construction and resource management.”
• JDM: Rise of the Scorpion: “Experience the automotive culture of Japan with a free prologue to Japanese Drift Master. Learn about the story of the rebellious high schooler Hatori and race through the winding roads at Haikama Lake. Discover the places where drift was born!”
