Free-to-play games have become increasingly popular over the years, and it's easy to understand why. They're excellent time sinks, and are now so robust that you never feel handcuffed for not plunking down real cash.
If you have some time to kill, you can't go wrong with a free title—especially if you're playing on PC, which has many free-to-play options. But with so many games to sample, it can be daunting to find a game worth downloading. You could stick to free Steam games, but if you don't mind venturing outside the comfy convenience of Valve's online video game store, you'll find a lot of good stuff.
We've got some obvious picks in our list, like the massively popular battle royale game Fortnite, which combines third-person shooting, resource gathering, and building to create a highly addicting multiplayer experience. Of course, no free-to-play PC list would be complete without Riot Games' highly popular MOBA League of Legends. That said, there are numerous other free-to-play games on PC, many of which may have flown under your gaming radar.
