Most game download sites share a common feature: Not offering full-featured games and not completely free. On these websites, you mostly find trial games (demo games) and have to register for newly downloaded members. The 5 websites below are no exception but they do have some free but "worthwhile" things.
1. Myabandonware.com
My Abandonware is an old repository of games (mainly for PC computers) that have been abandoned by developers. This site has a range of easy-to-recognize titles from the 'first sight' from shooters like Doom to real-time strategy games like WarCraft II. With more than 14,000 games spanning 1987 to 2017, it is proud to say that there are games that suit the needs of each person.
It is important to note that the legitimacy of websites that host 'abandoned' software. Abandonware contains software that is no longer developed and copyright is no longer enforced. However, this does not mean that games are in the public domain. Sometimes, "abandoned" software posted by copyright holders or companies that created the software no longer exists.
2. Good Old Games (GOG)
Most GOG games are priced, however, there are still many free games. Just go to the homepage, in the search filter select Price as Free to find these free games. In addition, all GOG games have no DRM, which allows users to buy games once and install them on other devices.
3. Itch.io
Previously, independently developed games were considered low-quality games, not polished by amateurs. Thankfully, gamers have said goodbye to that stigma. If you are a fan of independent games with unique story and gameplay, these games are a great choice. Itch.io stores over 100,000 free games from RPG to puzzle games.
Although the site has many free games to choose from, there are still paid games. In addition, Itch.io also connects players with developers. Users can follow their favorite developers and get quick project updates.
4. Internet Arcade / Console Living Room
Archive.org is a regularly updated digital cultural archive. Luckily for gamers, it also stores games. Archive.org has a vast collection of games, appearing on various gaming machines. These games are organized into the Console Living Room and Internet Arcade libraries.
Console Living Room is where you will find the old game console games from Atari 2600 to the original Playstation. Internet Arcade has a series of coin-operated arcade games like Out-Run and Space Invaders. Many of the games found in the Archive.org collection are free, so you can download and play them on your computer. (Note: to play games on game consoles or arcade games using coins you will need an appropriate emulator.) With games that do not download, you can play directly in the browser.
5. Steam
Steam is the leading online game retailer. This is where a lot of games and its libraries are constantly being updated. Steam can be known as a portal for AAA, but it also has many free games to choose from.
Previously, Steam had some quality control issues, however you could filter the titles available according to the most common ones to avoid scammers.
