From the start, free-to-play games rubbed just about everyone the wrong way with ugly paywalls and micro-transactions that were all but required to make any progress or stand a chance at winning. Like all things in life, free to play games have evolved to the point that you don’t need bottomless pockets or a trust fund to have fun or stand a chance at winning. Micro-transactions still exists but are far from required, and the following list of free action games are more than enough to keep you entertained without breaking the bank.

If you enjoy racing games, and you’re looking for something new, maybe you should give The Crew 2 a chance. Now, I don’t say that Ubisoft is the best at making racing games - in fact, they aren't very good at it at all, but it did a decent job with The Crew 2. What’s interesting about the game is the ability to change your mode of transportation. For example, you can start driving a car, but if you feel like flying, you can easily change to an airplane and enjoy the view, which is always gorgeous. Besides flying on various resources or run freely around the city, you can try the motocross racecourses, whic are muddy and sometimes challenging.
You can choose from a large variety of cars, too. There are plenty to choose from, so you should find something you like. Maybe you’re...

We’re going back to 2014 when we first meet the 2D RPG know as Child of Light from Ubisoft. The game is set in a world of fantasy, where everything is trying to kill you. It is not as tricky as more modern RPGs, where dodging attacks can be a pain most of the time. If your expectations are too high, don’t bother downloading the game, but if you’re looking for a good, free time, then this game is for you.
Patrick Plourde directed the game, and he also left his mark on the Assasin’s Creed 2 and the immortal Far Cry 3, so you can expect the best. He hasn’t failed to entertain us so far.

Endless Legend, the popular strategy game with an intriguing story, is free to play this week on Steam. Developed by Fantasy 4X, the game brings us back to 2014, but don’t let the age hold you back. The game is up to date and adventure awaits.
The story may seem like any other but that's mostly because of the narrations - they tend to brings chills to the spine with every word. The world is filled with mindless creatures that know nothing about mercy. You need to lead your people to prosperity and defend against these powerful enemies. To rule, you will need more than power, a society you build must be able to sustain itself, or if the resources aren’t enough, trade with others to achieve success.
The decision to make the game free for a week is due to the
high number of people...
With isolation becoming a mandated thing to combat the
coronavirus, Square Enix is taking a different route to help encourage and reward
people for staying at home – it’s offering up Tomb Raider (2013 reboot) for
free along with that weird co-op spin-off Lara Croft and the Temple of Osiris.
If you follow the instructions on the Square Enix Store, you’ll probably say it’s not worth it, but if you jump onto Steam, you can just add them to your library and call it a day. And, the best part is that you get to keep both games forever, unlike most free-to-play offerings these days.
We’re warmed by stories of communities banding together during these uncertain times and are offering a gift to keep friends & family connected through play. Read more: https://t.co/wWeWWuZ7Bv pic.twitter.com/9Ww2ZE7AJ8— Tomb Raider (@tombraider) March 20, 2020
