Between permanent free-to-play titles, limited-time giveaways, free weekends, demos, and frequent publisher promotions, Steam has become one of the best places to discover new games at no cost. That momentum has only continued in recent months as the patlform enjoys record engagement and revenue, with millions of players regularly returning to both new releases and long-standing favorites.
At the same time, Valve appears to be laying the groundwork for its next major hardware push, as rumors surrounding the long-awaited Steam Frame VR headset continue to gain traction. With the platform continuing to grow and new promotions arriving almost every week, there’s rarely been a better time to keep an eye on Steam’s latest free offerings.
And if you’re looking for some high-quality new content to add to your Steam library that doesn’t break the bank, three incredible games with 90% or higher user ratings were just added to grab for free.
Steam users will want to check out the following three titles if you’re looking for something fun and free, all of which officially launched on the platform on July 10:
- Life & Shadow: Celestial Call Prologue — Described as a realistic adventure life sim FPS with 97% user ratings, the prologue is a 1-hour introductory experience to get you pumped for the full release, coming soon.
- TAKE CARE OF THE DOG — Who doesn’t love spending time with a good boi? This brief yet adorable game is all in the title, where players take care of their dog by petting him, playing fetch, etc., and it currently has 94% ratings.
- HYPERFIST — A unique cyberpunk experience described as a “fast-paced punk-rock first-person puncher game” with 97% positive user score and cartoon-style art, well worth checking out if you’re an arcade game enthusiast.
While each of these games offers a completely different sort of experience, they all come highly recommended by users so far.
Life & Shadow: Celestial Call is a unique adventure game that currently hasn’t been fully released, but the prologue is available to play now to give players a free demo of the full version. There’s no specific launch date, but the free demo is absolutely worth checking out considering it won’t cost you a penny and users such as Mıuuba have said the following:
I really enjoyed the game and I am excited to see the rest of it. There were two jumpscares while I was playing, and one of them really got me. The game mechanics are very smooth, and I didn’t see any bugs.
TAKE CARE OF THE DOG, on the other hand, is a complete game that will only take you a couple hours at most to complete, so if you’re looking for a quick and highly enjoyable title with adorable gameplay and are a dog lover to boot, there’s no reason not to give it a go. Finally, HYPERFIST has a lot to offer, with an extremely unique art style and a relatively straightforward yet highly addictive combo-based punching combat system, with stylish, comic book-style artwork and a killer soundtrack if you’re into punk rock.
The above titles are all available completely for free, and are further proof of why Steam has become the go-to platform for PC gamers worldwide.
