The best free games are games that come at no base price. Instead, these games either cost you nothing at all, or they make their money via regular subscriptions or the sale of cosmetic items.

The point is that you can voluntarily decide whether you'll spend money on the game at all, and how much of it. The best free games offer a fun gaming experience that doesn't restrict players who don't pay - these games let you earn items it offers for money in other ways, or even better, they include no microtransactions at all. Of course the games itself have to be enjoyable enough to have you keep coming back for more.
The games on our list cover a variety of genres - from multiplayer shooter to online RPG or sci-fi adventure, there's a whole lot of games to enjoy for free, no matter your taste.
