Exceptional multiplayer Tetris.
Escape from Tarkov
And I don’t know why they are not on steam
Last information is that they are moving to Steam for their 1.0 launch.
Minecraft java edition, but that feels like cheating
There are a lot of cool free games playable on your browser made for game jams on itch.io
Wargus
DevilutionX
Doom2
ScummVM
OpenMW
Daggerfall Unity
UnCiv
Shattered Pixel Dungeon - roguelike
Luanti (previously known as Minetest) - voxel builder
lichess - chess
Beyond All Reason. Outstanding RTS thats independant and free. Not F2P but actually free.
That reminds me a lot of Supreme Commander and Planetary Annihilation
Unciv is a civilization clone for mobile platforms and its great if those games are your thing
Vintage Story, a Minecraft alternative that’s much more focused on survival and primitive technology. It’s sold only on its website.
Got this recently for my wife and I to play together and we are loving it so far. Just about reached bronze but don’t have a reliable supply of tin and winter is setting in so we are looking forward to getting our base set up and exploring some caves and ruins. We’ve got plenty of food, just hoping to squeeze another set of flax out of the farm before it’s too cold.
We watched Rubix Raptors YouTube series on it and loved the mix of chill crafting with more hardcore survival mechanics and a little dusting of cosmic horror.
It’s also pretty cheap for what you’re getting at about £20 it’s still in early access but is totally functional. We’ve played over 20 hours and haven’t hit a single bug which broke anything (just had our player models not display properly a couple of times). It’s also got really excellent built in modding support and what looks like a shed load of excellent mods.
VS is great. It’s what Terrafirmacraft would have been as a game instead of a mod, and it has a fairly vibrant modding community of its own. I’d still like to see some more development on it but it’s great so far.
0 A.D.. It is even open source.
Old school RuneScape
I wouldn’t call it one of the “best games” anymore… maybe not ever, but “Escape from Tarkov”.
While I’m digging my own grave here let me also mention “Star Citizen”.
I sure hope my grandkids will get to play star citizen
StarSector (whoops, not two words) https://fractalsoftworks.com/
Awesome game
Fantastic game! After playing for a lot of hours I realized there were some mods which made me play even more lol.
Btw, Sseth had a video on it https://youtu.be/acqpulP1hLo
That looks similar like Endless Sky
I think it’s the other way around, Starsector released in 2013
Similar but much deeper and lots of mods.
With a vibrant modding ecosystem!
I’ve been playing it non-stop for two weeks. It’s so good
Voices of the Void on Itch.io. it’s sort of like xfiles: the rpg. you live in a satellite field and you use old equipment to track suspicious signals from space and sell them off for upgrades and supply money. Things… happen. while you’re carrying out this peaceful existence. suspicious, freaky things. 🛸
it’s been out for a couple years now and it’s very far in development but they are saving the steam listing for a more full release.
edit: go into this game blind
Whoa that sounds really fun.
Minecraft
The only one with current popularity I know of is Escape from Tarkov. And most others from the past are now on Steam or other big stores (Toribash, Minecraft, Dwarf Fortress).
Unless VNs are your thing. There’s loads of awesome VNs on Itch.io. Though, I wouldn’t say that itch.io is not a big name. It appears more in conversation about games than GOG does.
