Steam free games: download and keep 12 titles right now

Welcome to a new week. Feeling fresh? Ready to take on the world? Or would you rather ease the pain of a Monday morning by downloading a bunch of free games from Steam? Yeah? Understandable, let’s get into it.

Here at GAMINGbible, we cover plenty of Steam freebies all the time - you can find a load more here, here, and even here. Today, we’ve got 12 more free titles to jump into. Will you have heard of any of them? Probably not! But that doesn’t mean that they’re not worth a shot. Let’s get into it.

Take a look at the trailer for the free Pokémon-like battle simulator, Temtem Showdown, below.

First up is the prologue for Citizens: On Mars. The turn-based colony building game, as you might have guessed, challenges players to build a thriving Martian settlement, juggling the impact of random events, and maintaining harmony within the colony. The full game is set to release later this year, but thanks to the prologue, you can try it out right now.

Try Again is a unique indie platformer which puts players into the shoes of Benny - a test character trapped in an unfinished game. You must help Benny navigate through the final day of game testing with the hopes of ending up as the main character.

Shattered Legacy is an adventure puzzle game set in a “mystical world”. With 50 levels to complete over seven different areas, boasting increasingly complex puzzles, players will have to put their problem-solving heads on if they want to uncover all the mysteries of this world.

Mini Golf Aeons is a golfing game. Who’d have thought? More specifically, however, it’s a VR golfing game - a VR headset is required to play it. If you do own a headset, you can get ready to experience both multiplayer and single-player golf action across four exciting locations, including a prehistoric jungle and a frozen wonderland.

SeaFeud is an underwater racing game, in which players jump on the backs of various fish and swim around the colourful courses. You can swap fish as you race, which adds a really interesting strategic element to the game.

Mystery Society 2: Hidden Puzzles is, as you might expect, a puzzle game which tasks players with spotting objects hidden around different locations. Basically, it sounds a bit like a collection of ‘find the difference’ puzzles with a detective story behind it.

Gangster Coin Pusher is, unsurprisingly, a coin pusher game. Players must earn as many prizes from the machine as possible. Sounds simple enough.

Soul Detective is an action-adventure game which follows the adventures of a detective trying to get to the bottom of why pure souls are being trapped in limbo. Using his spectral powers, the detective must fight against demons and work his way though three realms to work out what’s going on.

Calamity Creatures is 2D action game which sees players take on giant mecha enemies in a chaotic boss rush format, using gadgets and weaponry to overcome them.

War For Galaxy is a real-time strategy game set in space. Players must explore the galaxy, form colonies, design spaceships, and build their own fleet to both attack other players and defend themselves with.

Tay Son Dynasty is a multiplayer action game set in Vietnam, “in the period of Dai Viet under the rule of the Tay Son dynasty”. Players can fight solo or team up together. Currently, the game only has servers in the Southeast Asia region, so others will have to watch this space for now.

Finally, Tales of: Sena is a story-focused exploration game set in an 8-bit world. Based on the game’s description, it sounds like it has some heavy Undertale vibes, which in itself is tantalising.

Are you still with me? Again, all of those games are totally free to download and keep, so get stuck in.
