^{The best free PC games}

• Apex Legends. There are a ton of free battle royale games out there, but for my not-money, Apex Legends is still the best.
• The Awesome Adventures of Captain Spirit. Free point-and-click adventure games aren’t that hard to find, but they tend to be either older fare or low-budget labors of love.
• Brawlhalla. Brawlhalla is a great Super Smash Bros. alternative for PC players, but it would be a disservice to imply that's all it is.
• Counter-Strike: Global Offensive. If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it — and Counter-Strike: Global Offensive ain’t broke. ...
• Gwent. Did you play The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt? If so, then Gwent needs no introduction. ...
• League of Legends. League of Legends didn’t invent the multiplayer online battle arena (MOBA) genre, but this game arguably perfected it.
• Path of Exile. Suppose Diablo were free to play, and that its main story campaign were incredibly long. ...
• StarCraft and StarCraft: Brood War. (Image credit: Blizzard Entertainment Inc.) A few years ago, Blizzard released StarCraft: Remastered.
• Star Trek Online. Have you already blown your way through Star Trek: Discovery and Star Trek: Picard? Does yet another Next Generation marathon hold no appeal for you?
• Star Wars: The Old Republic. I couldn’t include the Star Trek MMO in this story and not discuss its equally good Star Wars counterpart.

Smite. Smite is a third-person MOBA that pulls its champions straight out of classic myths and ancient pantheons. Matches are team-based, 5-on-5 ordeals that task you with destroying your opponent's base and towers.

Another online game you can play on your PC, Fortnite is a massive survival co-op game that includes a great battle royale mode. If you love battle royales and want to play with other people on a vast open-world where everyone is out to get each other then Fortnite is definitely the best game for you.
