Fistful of Frags is actually so good!

[–]FrankToast 79 points80 points  (3 children)

My favorite part of FOF is that it balances fun with feel. The game ain't realistic for sure, but the UI menu and music all feel distinctively wild west-y and most of the guns are appropriately garbage. Compare this to games like BF1 which has the menu and UI of bloody Destiny which seriously hurts the WWI feel.

[–]Gonzo_goo 21 points22 points  (2 children)

I don't feel the menus take you out of the game. I prefer clear, well made, and not confusing menus. Never played the fistful game, but bf1's menus where nice and clear. I would rather have it functional rather than confusing and era-appropriate. If it has both, then great, but one is more important than the other

[–]FrankToast 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Of course a clear and easy to use menu is important, but people confuse "Destiny font", over-sized text, and a ton of white with a good, easy to use menu. Take Half-Life's menu, for example. It's very easy to wrap your head around but it's not what many people these days would consider sleek or modern.

Who is pendragon and why do dota players always talk about him

[–]Aealohttps://steam.pm/ktjk 32 points33 points  (3 children)

Scumbag dev from Riot. He closed DotA forums and redirected users to league site and stole bunch of user hero ideas for lol chimps. Source

[–]Rengas 320 points321 points  (118 children)

It also really triggers r/dota2 when you refer to their game as a MOBA.

[–]OldManWiggy 87 points88 points  (50 children)

Wait what. What do they call the genre?

[–]Osumsumo 91 points92 points  (3 children)


I'm not even joking

Aeon of Strife Styled Fortress Assault Game Going On Two Sides

[–]Krossfireo18 18 points19 points  (2 children)

Yeah, but that's a backronym

[–]DotA__2 362 points363 points  (29 children)

it's the accepted general term for the genre. Plenty of people in the sub still use the term "moba".

I'm partial to the term "assfaggots" myself, if only for the novelty and to keep people from taking themselves too seriously.

People do get annoyed if you referred to heroes as champions, though.

edit: due to the fascinating totesmessengerbot I felt the need to add a definition of the acronym for the unenlightened. Could have sworn that sub had been shutdown by now.

[–]Darkterror99 69 points70 points  (2 children)

They are called heroes because in the original WC3 mod, most of the characters were(or variations of) hero units from Warcraft

[–]ComradeAri 37 points38 points  (0 children)

Well, they were flat-out heroes. Even if they used non-default-WC3 models or non-default-WC3 hero spells, they were heroes as in the name of the actual game mechanic.

[–]djnap 50 points51 points  (11 children)

Correcting people about the heroes-champions thing makes sense to me as a dota player. They are only ever referred to as heroes in game, and champions is unique to LoL. Every other game in this genre, calls them heroes (smite is gods I guess).

Edit: although I guess I'm just perpetuating the stereotype

[–]imnonoob99 20 points21 points  (5 children)

I'm a smite player and I call every set of characters "Gods"

[–]djnap 10 points11 points  (4 children)

At least with dota and league it isn't in the name. With HotS and HoN the name literally says heroes (although as long as people know what you're talking about, it doesn't matter).

[–]BaneOfLoL 31 points32 points  (3 children)

I'm a league player and I use heroes and champions interchangeably when talking about league, I don't know why though since I've barely played any DotA. It could be because that's what streamers in the early days of league would call them since they came from DotA.

I frequent /r/dota2 quite a lot and have never seen anyone mad at that...

[–]tehbeh 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The only thing people point out is the difference in terminology, heroes not champions, creeps instead of minions, jungler is not a position but just something a hero might do if their lane sucks, that kinda thing.

Play moirai. Right now. It takes about 8 minutes and is worth it. 30 Mb install size.

[–]Toobis 16 points17 points  (1 child)

I took you advice and am glad I did! What an interesting ending!

[–]vicarofyanks 9 points10 points  (2 children)

Well worth the 8 minutes, really cool concept, thanks for the recommendation.

For those reading this, don't look it up, just play it. Takes 14 seconds to install, 8 minutes to beat, and has a neat concept

[–]moofree 50 points51 points  (10 children)

The classic 90s multiplayer 2d spaceship shooter game Subspace Continuum is on Steam. Granted Continuum's been free for more than a decade, just not on Steam.

Team Fortress 2 is free as long as you don't blow all of your money on pointless hats.

[–]JewJewJubes 266 points267 points  (73 children)

I've spent $60 on TF2. I don't even know what on. All my hats suck.

You should link your inventory.

[–]Brewster_The_Pigeon 132 points133 points  (47 children)

I don't want to know how much money I've spent on TF2.


I checked what I spent and regretted it instantly

[–]headpool182 13 points14 points  (13 children)

Me either. But I'm thinking about clearing my inventory to buy a pipboy for my engie

[–]Brewster_The_Pigeon 18 points19 points  (7 children)

How much is your inventory worth? A pip boy is only 6.11 ref

[–]offmychest_is_cancer 29 points30 points  (4 children)


Damn I miss the time where 1 ref was actually worth something

[–]Brewster_The_Pigeon 16 points17 points  (3 children)

One ref can get you most hats in the game.

[–]donttellmymomwhatido 9 points10 points  (8 children)

[–]Smashman2004 4 points5 points  (4 children)

Aye, me too. I've made more money from TF2 than I've ever spent on Steam in 8 years. It's insane.

[–]Mechdra 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I need they hat how much

[–]Vipitishttps://steam.pm/1ks2o8 13 points14 points  (2 children)

Spend 0.78€ on tf2 and traded to a 450 bucks inventory.

[–]JewJewJubes 11 points12 points  (1 child)

That's a mildly adequate turn around i guess

[–]Capn_Cornflake 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I've spent nearly $1,000 on TF2. I look fabulous, but I can't shoot for shit.

[–]jensenj2 401 points402 points  (3 children)

a war-themed hat simulator without hats... such sacrilege

[–]Mugilicious 94 points95 points  (0 children)

Soldier didn't kill all those innocent people for the right to be BALD!

[–]Catkillerfive 39 points40 points  (3 children)

Not really tho...

If you are a "F2P" user, then you have a limited inventory space (50, not enough for all the unique weapons, as opposed to 300+ slots for "Premium accounts") as well as a limited amount of Crafting recipes, can't trade items away and can only receive gifts.

Although, upgrading to a premium account is dirt cheep, just go to the Mann.Co store and buy the cheapest thing (0.39€ IIRC) and bam, 300 inventory slots and full access to crafting recipes, and no restrictions to trading and gifting (Thats not already limited by the Escrow system ofc)


What about pointy hats?

[–]iTouchTheSky 55 points56 points  (31 children)

It is not completly free as on the terms on the main post states, because it has micro transactions that you can buy some items to change your character stats

[–]SuicidalPiggeh 26 points27 points  (2 children)

Except if you've played the game for a bit you would realize that the stock weapons are way better than any other weapon

[–]muzgmen 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That's true, but you can also get all 155 stat-changing weapons for $0.50 if you trade for them.

[–]PatBartonhttps://steam.pm/1gu4rl 36 points37 points  (23 children)

You can get all of the same items that you can buy, as drops while playing. The game is also mostly balanced making other weapons unnecessary.

Although I do agree that the fact that it does have microtransactions makes it not completely free to play.

[–]hooliganmike 24 points25 points  (18 children)


You get a max of something like 12 drops per week assuming you're playing a full 10 hours. With over 100 weapons you have to play for months before you can drop all the weapons, and that's assuming you don't keep getting the same weapons repeatedly. It took me years to drop a Tomislav.



psh as if. My hat is the new hip style of the battlements! Learn your place pleb!

[–]brock029 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Unless you bought it with the orange box a long time ago, then all you got was a veteran's hat.

[–]jimeowan[S] 302 points303 points  (86 children)

Among those I played, I liked in particular Dr. Langeskov (30', Stanley Parable feel) and Emily is Away (30' text adventure, for people approaching their 30s I guess). I found a lot of intriguing games from making this list though.

EDIT: Also, not exactly fitting the list because of a small DLC, I've tried a bit Spooky's Jump Scare Mansion in which a cute ice cream actually gave me a f-ing jump scare. Neat

[–]domo1037 148 points149 points  (51 children)

Dr Langeskov is literally made by the people who made the Stanley Parable except narrated by a famous British comedian. That probably explains a lot

[–]jimeowan[S] 78 points79 points  (45 children)

Yep, more exactly by one of the Stanley Parable guys. The other designer went to make The Beginner's Guide (don't get me started on that game...).

[–][deleted] 20 points21 points  (42 children)

You have my curiosity, do you hate Beginner's Guide? I love hearing people's opinion on it

[–]Saki_JPC 12 points13 points  (14 children)

I didn't mind Beginner's Guide. It was... interesting. Not the best game, but not bad.

[–]jimeowan[S] 38 points39 points  (23 children)

Well for most of the game I actually really liked it, maybe not as much as the Stanley Parable but it was a really interesting experience. I started doing game dev professionally last year so some parts really striked a chord.

But as the end gets closer, I ended up asking myself the big question (link is a spoiler) - maybe I'm just stupid but for most of the game I played naively thinking the answer was "yes of course, he said so". Then I got to finish the game and not only I found it quite unsatisfying, but suddenly it challenged completely my position on "that big thing". And whatever the real answer is, either it has legal implications, or the very premise of the game is a plain lie. So here I am, having paid for, played a game from start to finish, and welcomed thought-provoking discussion only to realize at the end that the whole thing is a lie.

After reading a few things online I'd tend to line up with opinions like this one, but still I can't help feeling betrayed. In short: the game was too meta for its own good.

[–]TheOneRing_ 32 points33 points  (14 children)

Wait, you're upset because the game was fictional?

Are you also upset that The Stanley Parable was a "lie"?


It's a game, of course it isn't real

[–]munchauzen 49 points50 points  (16 children)

30', Stanley Parable feel

30' text adventure

I'm a bit confused. 30 feet what?

[–]Cylosis 35 points36 points  (13 children)

It can also mean 30min

[–]munchauzen 11 points12 points  (1 child)

Oh, ok. I had never seen it used like that outside of survey bearings.

[–]centraleft 22 points23 points  (10 children)

Since when? .-.

[–]CaptainOuzo 13 points14 points  (4 children)

Lat and long is often written in degrees, minutes, and seconds. Like this:

33°34'48", 85°50'59"

And some stopwatches use those symbols for minutes and seconds, too.

I'm not sure of the historical reasons for sharing "minutes" and "seconds" between measurements of time and angular position, but perhaps the fact that sundials, clock faces, and the position of the sun in the sky are all measured by angles has a lot to do with that.

[–]munchauzen 5 points6 points  (3 children)

It's because the curvature of the earth

[–]mysticrudnin 18 points19 points  (0 children)

it is uncommon usage but hundreds of years


You should play a bit further into Spooky. It's...deceptive.

[–]Sylverstone14 4 points5 points  (2 children)

Spooky's Jump Scare Mansion

I thought this was a sequel to Spooky's House of Jump Scares, but it was actually a name change? Weird.

[–]Crazytalkbob 34 points35 points  (8 children)

Don't forget Pirates, Vikings, and Knights II

It's a 100% free multi-player game that has map objectives similar to TF2, but with 3 teams, a robust medieval melee combat system, and a silliness factor that's inspired by Monty Python.

[–]KOM 8 points9 points  (1 child)

I had completely forgotten about this game, but loved the time I put in a few years ago. Is there still an active player base?

[–]skyrimpacman21 426 points427 points  (206 children)

Path of Exile?

[–]rockpapersucker 193 points194 points  (147 children)

Probably the best free to play game ever as far as microtransactions but it's a f2p game nonetheless.

[–]jakery2 77 points78 points  (8 children)

Op's list is only for games that don't have any in app purchases.

[–]Cabeza2000 57 points58 points  (7 children)

Well, he can add Path of Exile with an asterisk as per his own post explanation...Path of Exile mtx are cosmetic, except for the inventory ones which IMO are not really a reason to not include the game in the list.

[–]aaronsherman 23 points24 points  (5 children)

I would agree... prior to the latest round of trading features. There is now a substantial player-to-player trading advantage to having premium stash tabs. They're cheap, and you don't really need more than one (I say, having a couple dozen...) but it changed the game from "there's no in-game advantage to spending money," to, "there's no direct mechanical advantage to spending money."

I think it's a good change, and promotes purchasing without ruining the experience for those who can't or don't want to spend money on the game, but it's definitely worth noting.

For those who don't play the game, here's what you can buy:

  • Cosmetic features (wardrobe, spell variant effects, portal skins, etc.)
  • Non-combat pets
  • Additional slots for characters (you get quite a few by default)
  • Additional storage tabs
  • Premium storage tabs (which double as player-to-player trading listings) and currency tabs
  • Supporter packs which have some of the other goodies and tokens for purchasing more, but are mostly meant to just support the game servers and ongoing development.
    • Through the supporter packs, you can get the opportunity (at a higher price point) to design a unique item, but you gain nor more chance of finding said item, in-game.

[–]SlappytheNinja 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Premium tabs make it easier and quicker to do in-game, but it's nothing people haven't done for free already using programs like Procurement and Acquisition.

[–]jakery2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Looks like OP put that part in after I made my comment.

[–]Cabeza2000 16 points17 points  (4 children)

Very surprised is not there. I played the game for more time than any other game in my library. And I have some.

[–]vierce 9 points10 points  (3 children)

I picked it up (for a second try) at the start of this year. Up to 575 hours... Kinda scary how addicted I am.

The degree of precision in these playtimes is excellent. 32 minutes? Not "0.5 hours" or "~30 min", but precisely 32 minutes? Science is amazing.

Good list. What about unturned? All that really has is the option to buy gold, which seems more like a donate option than anything imo

[–]Charlton_AB 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Drops lots of stuff though. Unturned was the first game I played on Steam (n00b alert) and I absolutely loved it although I did not care for the market until I figured out that I could SELL those pointless costumes and crates.

[–]thefiercefrog 8 points9 points  (3 children)

That's IAP.

[–]Thalmazor 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah but they're all cosmetic, I figured it would be a fit sonce TF2 and Dota were on the list

This, you can have thousands of hours without spending a single penny.

OP Check out /r/warframe, we're a big sub

[–]rinsa 40 points41 points  (3 children)

Then 90% of "F2P" games should be on OP's list. Warframe shouldn't be on it.

[–]zkillerz2000 28 points29 points  (1 child)

Unlike many games with micro-transactions warframe has the ability to trade in game items for the premium currency, if you really want something but are F2P you can still work your way up to it.

[–]mxzf 7 points8 points  (0 children)

And any given item is actually relatively easy to afford from selling a couple items yourself. It's painful to try and buy everything with plat, but you can buy any given thing relatively easily (other than time-limited items that are no longer available, those get expensive but aren't necessary to get).


Altitude is a blast, I remember playing it in college!

[–]ItsNotKenty 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Brawlhalla? It's a pretty popular game that's like super smash bros, but on PC c:

[–]FlameBoss20 23 points24 points  (5 children)

Paladins is a newer free to play game.. also has Crystals you can buy to get skins for Champions.. but overall it's pretty much a F2P overwatch.

Was in development before it though from what I hear. No clue overall, but it's on steam and it's very fun.

[–]Solanstusx 8 points9 points  (1 child)

Developed by Hi-Rez, the people who made Smite. Was in dev before Overwatch but it's obvious hat they made some of the characters as carbon copies of OW heroes

[–]Daktush 4 points5 points  (2 children)

Dirty Bomb is a good FPS that is also free.

[–]redrhyski 17 points18 points  (1 child)

If you are going to include TF2, where you can buy different weapons to have different strategies, then you can definitely include Planetside 2 and Dirty Bomb - both of whom I've played loads and have not paid anything towards.


You're forgetting the best free game: Honey Rose: Underdog Fighter Extraordinaire. It's part fighting game (well, barely.), part visual novel, and part stats management. 100% free with the option to buy pointless DLC as a "thank you" tip to the dev.

Path of Exile is controversial?

Dota 2 is entirely free. You can only pay for cosmetics


Also free lessons in Peruvian, Russian and Tagalog.

Brawlhalla, the very good "Smash" fighting game?

Relic Hunters Zero is pretty good if you're looking for a twin-stick shooter.

Also, OP, it looks like you've got Pink Heaven listed twice.

I'm glad Moirai was on here

Istrolid (88%) is a free RTS where you build your own fleet of spaceships and have them fight either the computer in campaign mode, or other players in multiplayer. The only DLC is cosmetic, allowing rotation of blocks where the facing doesn't matter, naming ships, and placing decals on them. It's fun, pretty simple to learn, and needs more players.

Fistful of Frags is a great game. 10/10 would recommend.

[–]bplboston17 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Alien Swarm is pretty fun to play with friends..

[–]BenjiTheWalrus 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Fractured Space is pretty good. You can earn every ship ingame and most ships are really balanced.

Found Pendragon's reddit account.

You can add Path Of Exile to the list... ARPG.Probably the best out there.

[–]Joshua102097 18 points19 points  (3 children)

I would also recommend Planetside 2.

My friend has played over 3000hrs of Dota 2....never bought anything. Money doesn't improve Dota's gameplay.

[–]Philmriss 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you for the write-up!

e: and I do recommend Emily is Away. If you grew up during the ICQ era, you'll appreciate how it nails that

Huh airbrawl is free? I could swear it wasnt so always.

[–]late2party 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Lots of "short" games on the list which is great. Lately I don't have much time to game so I enjoy a game I can finish in 1-2 sittings. Amazing list, thanks for sharing

404Sight. Networking and net neutrality in the form of a platformer.

[–]modifiedbASS 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just played Moirai... my mind is blown.

[–]gontitifan 2 points3 points  (1 child)

I can't believe I haven't seen some of these games, I'm installing them atm, they look fun, especially that Dr. Langeskov game.

Does anyone who or what is in charge of putting games in Free to Play? Free to Play is so flooded with "Facebook/Mobile"-esque games nowadays or p2w crap that a lot of these cool games are out of the picture, and I think that's tragic.
