Here are some of the best online resources and websites dedicated to freeware and free PC games. Some are dedicated to freeware games only and offer downloads to homebrew games, clones, and older commercial games that have been released as freeware. Other sites offer a mix of content, including online browser-based games (HTML5 and Flash) and downloadable games. These are a great place to start if you're looking to find some free PC games online. Lifewire / Kaley McKean

Homebrew Super Mario Bros. games. What We Don't Like Misleading links to other websites.

Restrictive search tool. AllGamesAtoZ.com has a modern and mobile-friendly website with a large database of game information. However, it no longer offers game downloads, only information about where to find games. Visit AllGamesAtoZ

05 of 10 Best for Out-of-Print Games: Home of the Underdogs What We Like Technical information about emulators.

Great source for learning about underrated PC games. What We Don't Like Some outdated game links.

Outdated interface and design. Home of the Underdogs is a freeware and abandonware site offering a vast number of titles for download. It's a virtual gold mine for many classic out-of-print games, with a library of over 5,000 titles. The list is fairly impressive, and the site is updated quarterly. Home of the Underdogs has gone through a number of fan-supported redesigns and relaunches, leading to multiple sites hosting some (but not all) of the games found on the original. Home of the Underdogs doesn't provide game downloads. Instead, it offers details on thousands of games and a search option to find where you can obtain the games. Visit Home of the Underdogs

Thriving user community. What We Don't Like Steam client can't capture gameplay footage.

Customer service and technical support get mixed reviews. While many think of Steam as the primary online platform and store for purchasing PC games, it also offers hundreds of free-to-play games. Some may be free during an early access period while still in development. Others are fully released titles offering in-game microtransactions. That being said, a vast majority of the free-to-play PC games offered on Steam don't require any payment for access to full functionality and gameplay. With more than 500 games listed, there's bound to be something for everyone: RTS games, shooters, or online shooters, to name a few. Popular titles available through Steam free of charge include Dota 2, Team Fortress, Path of Exile, and more. Visit Steam

08 of 10 Take Game What We Like New games every day.

Multilingual support. What We Don't Like Amateurish web design.
