Free, fun games!

[randomling]

Hello! I don't think I've ever posted here properly.

I'm a gamer in a bit of a rut, partly because the recent announcement that Glitch is closing has thrown me for a bit of a loop. I'm looking for free games that I might find enjoyable, and thought it might be fun to make it a bit of a discussion post - what free, fun games do you enjoy?


I'm sticking to browser-based games for now. (Feel free to link downloads in the comments! It'd be great to know what platforms are supported for downloadable games, though, especially since I use a Mac.)

*Kongregate has a few fun games. I've recently been enjoying The Enchanted Cave and Infectionator 2.

*Kingdom of Loathing is quite fun, with stick-figure art and a quirky sense of humour. I'm currently back there after a long break and trying to work out how to naviate all the changes.

*Rings of Orbis I'm new at. It looks interesting, but it's very complex, I'm still trying to figure out what I need to do, and I'm already getting a little tired of all the clicking.

*The End is another one that looks quite interesting, but I haven't figured out yet.



I look forward to hearing suggestions!

PS - Mods, can we have a "free games" tag, or similar, please?

Story Nexus has a bunch of free card-style story games. The first was Echo Bazaar, which is great (I got bored of it eventually, but had fun for ages) I am currently working through Winterstrike, which is also pretty good, though the balance is a bit off so I keep going in circles.

Poor glitch, though, I will miss it sorely.

I will miss Glitch, too. So sad!

Story Nexus look cool, I'll check them out! :D

Are you looking for similarly-toned mmo experiences, or just great free games in general, or free games that aren't coffee-break-length experiences, or something else?

[randomling]

That is a rather excellent question!

In fact, all of the above are great, though I somewhat despair of there being much out there in the way of similarly-toned MMOs (though I would be very pleased to be proved wrong).

Stuff that will keep me engaged for longer than just a coffee break would be particularly awesome!

Maple Story. It's not much, but that's what I've got.
