11 New Free PC Games Coming Out In 2016 That Will Be Awesome

MichaelLogarta — Wed, 16 Dec 2015 13:08:00 +0000

Enjoy your time without spending a dime with 2016’s new free PC games!

As we’ve already covered in previous articles, 2016 is shaping up to be a great year for gaming. But playing games is also a costly hobby, which to be honest, kind of sucks.

Leave it to some game development studios to give us gamers cheaper, yet no less entertaining alternatives. 2016 boasts a solid line-up of new free PC games, one you can’t afford not knowing about. So, in the spirit of public service, we have compiled a list of the 11 New Free PC Games Coming Out In 2016 That Will Be Awesome.

Here they are, in no particular order:

11. Gigantic

Is it a MOBA? Is it a third-person shooter?

Genres evolve with time, and Gigantic is proof of that. While it may seem like your typical MOBA, there’s definitely more to it than just turning defensive structures into rubble and wiping the floor with hundreds of creeps.

In Gigantic, you select one of several unique heroes, then, together with a team of five, ally yourself with a powerful, building-sized guardian. Your job? To work together with your guardian, and your teammates, to destroy the opposing team and their guardian.

There are key points to capture, creatures to summon, skills to unlock with experience, and glorious team combat that culminates in a massive, earth-shaking duel between the two guardians. To top it all off, Gigantic looks super pretty, with crisp, cartoonish visuals and wonderful animation. One of the new free PC games that’s gotten us really excited for 2016!

With a titan at your back, you can do anything.

What big claws you have!

All manner of giant critters!

10. Duelyst

Strategy and tactics are the building blocks that make up Duelyst, an awesome competitive game that locks two players against each other in fast, brutal combat.

Choose from six factions, including the mighty, lumbering behemoths, the Magmar, or the numerous rush-crazy Abyssian. Then, using the cards in your hands, blow the enemy to smithereens using face-melting spells, or obliterate them with powerful artifacts. Did we mention you’ve got more than 300 battle units, artifacts, and spells to customize your squad with?

Don’t let the fact that this game is turn-based fool you into thinking this is a slow game. Duelyst’s furious battles often end in less than 10 minutes. You know what that means: more opportunities for slaughter!

Assemble the troops!

Ready for blood.

Battle formations.

9. Blade & Soul

If you’re a fan of MMORPGs, you’ve probably heard of Blade & Soul.

This MMORPG from South Korea has been wowing Asian gamers with its stunning graphics and its action-packed fantasy martial arts. Its combat, which is in real time, employs a system that allows you to string together attack combos – which makes it very much like a fighting game. The game also features an incredible character customization tool, so you can make your avatar as pretty or as hideous as you wish.

Blade & Soul’s been around in Asia for while, but 2016 marks the first time people in Europe and the USA get their hands on it. Definitely one of the new free PC games we’d love to play come 2016!

A kick to the face ought to bring him down!

All the pretty lights.

Close range archery.

8. The Elder Scrolls: Legends

The Elder Scrolls series is huge. Online card games are huge. So why not combine the two?

That is exactly what Bethesda Softworks did with The Elder Scrolls: Legends. This card game features everything you love from the franchise, from the mythical lore, to the characters and creatures, to the myriad races populating the world.

Roast your enemies with potent magic, or skewer them with your warrior’s blades! The choice is yours. Aside from multiplayer, the game also has a single-player story campaign, so you’ll have plenty of opportunities to hone your skills.

Aim at your opponent for a direct hit!

These cards EXPLODE.

Choose your destiny!

7. Tree of Savior

Remember Ragnarok Online, that charming MMORPG from South Korea that took the whole world by storm in the early 2000s? Well, Tree of Savior is the spiritual successor of that game. You see, the guy behind Tree of Savior is the same guy who was responsible for bringing us Ragnarok Online. That, and Tree of Savior also features cutesy anime sprites and gorgeous visuals.

Tree of Savior boasts numerous classes. The four main archetypes are Swordsman, Wizard, Archer, and Cleric, but under each are a host of other possible classes. For example, the Archer spawns the Rangers, who specialize in fighting multiple opponents, and the Wugushi, a martial arts-type class that relies on poison. From Clerics, we get Sadhu, who can have out-of-body experiences, and Plague Doctors, who specialize in curing abnormalities.

With a huge number of classes to choose from, gorgeous graphics, and fluidly animated sprites, Tree of Savior will be a delight to all those nostalgic for Ragnarok Online. As it’s already beginning to look like one of the best new free PC games of 2016, we’re also pretty sure it’ll attract a new generation of fans.

Join the party!

This world's denizens sure look gorgeous!

"Let me concoct a spell for you."

6. Orcs Must Die! Unchained

You know those tower defense games on mobile devices? Orcs Must Die! Unchained is like those games, except wilder, messier, and way more action-packed.

Choose one of several heroes, then help defend your base from hordes of monsters. And when we say hordes, we mean armies of orcs and other bad guys so numerous it looks like the screen is being flooded by a sea of puke green. And those monsters come in all shapes and sizes, from the tiny and fast to the huge and lumbering.

Lay murderous traps and show off with legendary magic and lethal skills. What’s even better is that you can play cooperatively with friends or against each opponents. Sounds like another great eSports contender to us!

He's looking for someone to sink his teeth into.

A tidal wave of gap-toothed warriors.

Time to cleave some greenskins in two!

5. LawBreakers

Previously called BlueStreak, LawBreakers is a first-person shooter set in a sci-fi world.

LawBreakers features a roster of weird and cool heroes who each boast a unique set of abilities. You’ve got an assassin who can swing between buildings using a rope made of light, a mercenary who can fly, and a melee warrior with a devastating ground pound attack. As you can expect, combat is all about skillful shooting, not knee-jerk gunplay. So check your noob cred at the door.

The game also has you siding with either the Law or the Breakers, so you can expect some excellent team play. Add to this breathtaking environment design, and you’ve got one of the most promising free-to-play games in 2016.

First-person goodness!

Wonderful sights await.

I'm sure he just wants to make friends!

4. Salem

Colonial America is a rarely visited topic in video games. Leave it to Salem, one of the most intriguing new free PC games of 2016, to bring us to a New World of toil, disease, and witchcraft!

Leave Europe for a fresh start in the Americas as a settler. To survive, you’ll need to gather resources, hunt animals, and explore your new environment. There are precious minerals and ores to be found underground, so get filthy and start digging! In time, you’ll build a home, a farm, and maybe even your own village. You can even coordinate with your friends and help each other prosper.

Of course, what’s colonial America without a little bit of witchcraft? Curse your enemies’ fields and watch their crops wither and die! And who knows, there might be even darker secrets to be unraveled in these uncharted lands.

To convey the brutality of the times, this open-world crafting MMO also features permadeath. So make your choices wisely, or it could be your corpse decorating the freshly tilled soil!

Building a home.

Crime and punishment.

Let's hope you have enough food to last the winter.

3. Fortnite

These days, innovation usually means combining different genres to form an exciting and cohesive whole. Fortnite is a survival game set in a sandbox world where you can build defensive structures from scavenged items.

It’s been described as “Left 4 Dead meets Minecraft,” a formula that’s a perfect fit for cooperative multiplayer. By day, you explore a procedurally generated world and build a fortress from the scraps you’ve gathered. By night, you defend yourself against waves of monsters.

Fortnite sounds pretty sweet to us, and we’re eager to play what will likely be one of the new free PC games to watch out for in 2016!

Fireworks display.

Facing danger head-on.

Cast of misfits.

2. Riders of Icarus

Few things are cooler than riding a giant frickin’ dragon. The creators or Riders of Icarus know this, which is why they’ve filled their game with exactly that: enormous flying reptilian mounts that can barbecue entire armies with a single, fiery sneeze.

But why stop at dragons? Riders of Icarus offers other fantastical beasts to pursue, tame, and ride. There are gargantuan monsters that look like a cross between a lion and a bull, winged horses with flaming hooves, and birds with talons sharp enough to rip through armor. And of course, you can own more than one creature. It’s like Pokemon, only more badass. Gotta catch ‘em all!

This MMO is going to be huge, which is why we’re included it in our list of new free PC games to play in 2016.

Dragon, meet mountain giant. Mountain giant, meet dragon.

Is he about to chop his own horse's head off?

Definitely not the Khaleesi.

1. Paragon

Like any popular video game genre, the MOBA continues to evolve. And if Paragon is any indication of the direction MOBAs are headed, we can’t be more excited for the future.

Paragon is a third-person MOBA with awesome graphics, explosive gameplay, and a rich sci-fi theme. It’s got an exciting hero roster which includes what looks like a rabbit driving a giant mech, a humanoid rhino, and even the Grim Reaper himself.

What’s even more intriguing is its cards system. You can collect cards, build your own deck, then attach them to your heroes to give them all sorts of abilities. Some of them provide a passive bonus, such as making your strikes stronger, or give you an extra skill, such as the ability to heal yourself. With a plethora of cards available, there are literally hundreds upon hundreds of ways to customize said heroes.

We here at Gamers Decide loves MOBAs, and Paragon is one of the new free PC games we’re particularly excited about!

"One well-timed heal, coming up!"

"Your time is up."

These minions mean business.

The beautiful world of Paragon.

Honrable Mention: Hunt: Horrors of the Gilded Age

With a new age comes new horrors. In multiplayer third-person action game Hunt: Horrors of the Gilded Age, you and three other heroes must slay the undead hordes and other bloodthirsty monstrosities putting the world in peril in the 1800s. Procedurally generated maps, enemies, and items means no two encounters are ever the same, so make sure you’re ready before you go out into the night!

This butcher's looking for fresh meat!

Gun vs. hammer.

11 Great PC Games Coming Out in 2016

MichaelLogarta — Wed, 11 Nov 2015 18:57:30 +0000

Is the wait killing you? Here are the great PC games of 2016 that we’re just dying to play!

If you’re into PC games, then you already know what a great year 2016 is going to be. So many quality titles have already been announced – with more being announced each week – that the wait is becoming almost unbearable.

In this article, we list the great PC games of 2016 that we’re most excited about. From RPGs to first-person shooters, from fantasy to sci-fi, there’s at least one game for every kind of gamer. So let’s start with our first entry…

11. World of Warcraft: Legion

World of Warcraft is the most successful MMORPG in gaming history, and we can thank Blizzard’s devotion to its fans for that. For years, they’ve been making sure their most popular brand never goes stale; thanks to regular gameplay and story updates, Azeroth is a living, breathing world.

World of Warcraft: Legion is the game’s sixth expansion, and it’s going to be huge. For starters, the Burning Legion are coming back to raise hell on Azeroth. Who are the Burning Legion? Oh, just an army of world-conquering demons who invaded Azeroth several times in the path. They were primary antagonists in Warcraft III, if you can recall. It looks like the Alliance and the Horde will have to put aside their differences (again) to fight off this threat.

And, oh, did we mention Illidan Stormrage, “the Betrayer” himself, is making a comeback, as well? Goes to show that no one stays dead for long in the World of Warcraft!

An enormous new continent called The Broken Isles, a new Demon Hunter class, customizable artifact weapons, a level cap increase, and loads of other goodies await in what will be one of the great PC games of 2016!

10. BattleCry

Set in an alternate timeline at the dawn of the 20th century, BattleCry introduces a new face of war. In this strange version of our world, countries settle all disagreements by having teams of elite warriors fight each other in deadly matches.

You’ll choose one of three factions – the Imperial Marines, the Cossack Empire, and the Han Republic – then a character class, from the technology-focused Gadgeteer to the brutish Brawler. Then you wage war against the other factions in team-based, third-person PVP. Up to 24 players can duke it out onscreen, so you can be sure those battles are going to be a bloody mess.

You’ll have unique weapons at your disposal, such as swords that convert into shields, bows and armor-piercing arrows, and electric blades. The environments are spacious and breathtaking, while the art style itself is gorgeous.

BattleCry definitely looks like it’ll be one of the great PC games of 2016!

9. Divinity: Original Sin 2

Divinity: Original Sin was a breath of fresh air in a gaming landscape choking with first-person RPGs. But the game was more than just an oldschool RPG with lovely updated graphics; it had an epic story, great characters, and gameplay so addictive you could end up forgetting about a thing called sleep.

Larian Studios is making Divinity: Original Sin 2, and we can thank the fans for that. Its Kickstarter reached the $500,000 goal in less than half a day. In fact, the campaign has already overshot its goal by a wide margin.

So what can we expect? A quality RPG, that’s for sure. You’ll have customizable characters and companions you can recruit; a cooperative multiplayer mode supporting up to four players; interactive environments; quests and dialogue options that change depending on your character’s history; exciting combat that comes with a cover system; and even a “Love & Hate” system that allows you to develop your relationship, romantic or otherwise, with other characters.

The great PC games of 2016 can’t come soon enough!

8. Doom

Anyone who’s a fan of first-person shooters knows how the original Doom was largely responsible for the explosion of the genre’s popularity back in the 90s. The genre has changed a lot over the years, but it is just as well-loved as it was back then, when all we had to shoot were ugly pixelated demons out of ugly pixelated guns.

Now the classic Doom is getting a much-needed facelift. The same monsters, the same freaks, only rendered in gorgeously detailed CG. The fighting will be fast-placed and bloody – no hiding around corners here! Just whip out your biggest, baddest gun, and start blasting away at any hellish thing that moves.

As it’ll probably be one of the great PC games of 2016, we’re also expecting the multiplayer to be awesome. Oh, how torturous the wait!

7. Overwatch

Competitive shooters are a huge thing right now, so it’s no surprise that Blizzard wants in on the action. Overwatch, their newest IP since, like, forever, is a first person team shooter filled with charming visuals, amazing characters, and a rich backstory you can really get lost in.

There are 21 heroes to choose from, including the time-travelling adventurer, Tracer; D.Va, a South Korean ex-pro gamer who now rides a giant mech into battle; a robot ninja named Genji who can kill you with one slash from his sword; a super intelligent gorilla called Winston; and the badass cowboy, McCree.

Story-wise, the game is about the now-defunct task force Overwatch, which came into being to fight for humanity during a global robotic uprising known as the Omnic Crisis.

Blizzard knows they’ve got a gem on their hands. So, aside from the game itself, they’re going to be churning out other goodies for the benefit of fans. Expect graphics novels and more animated shorts, just like the excellent cinematic unveiled last year!

6. XCOM 2

Turn-based strategy had its champion in the excellent X-COM: Enemy Unknown. Well, come 2016, you’ll be zapping alien scum once again in XCOM 2.

In this alternate timeline of the XCOM universe, the aliens have conquered Earth. A weakened XCOM now operates from a mobile base called the Avenger.

You’ll be in charge of squads of soldiers as you attempt to take the planet back from the extraterrestrial menace one mission at a time. Soldiers have different classes and can be leveled up to access a variety of special skills. New class types include the Grenadier, who’s happiest when they’re blowing things up; and the Ranger, who’s an expert with swords.

Missions range from extermination jobs to kidnapping tasks. Take an alien home, and you can perform an autopsy to learn a thing or two about their physiology. This will identify their weaknesses and maybe even help you develop new weapons. As a first in the series, some missions will also feature secondary objectives.

An eagerly awaited title – one that will likely be one of the great PC games of 2016!

5. Total War: Warhammer

War is hell, but it’s pretty glorious when it’s fictional. And an all-around orgy of virtual murder doesn’t get any better than the Total War. So you can just imagine how bloody things are going to get when Total War is paired up with one of the most violent fantasy franchises of our time, Warhammer.

Total War: Warhammer, is everything you love about both franchises: hundreds upon hundreds of troops on blood-soaked fields, thundering war machines, face-melting magic, and monsters so horrific they’ll make you want to curl up into a ball and die. The four playable factions are the Empire, the Dwarfs, the Greenskins, and the Vampire Counts. You’ll also control special heroes during battle.

Combat is real-time, but, like other Total War games, you’ll also be able to build cities, expand your empire, and engage in diplomacy.

We simply cannot wait for Total War: Warhammer!

4. Dark Souls III

Who’d have known a game so hard that playing it is sometimes akin to punching yourself in the face would become successful enough to warrant numerous sequels?

What started as a PS3-exclusive called Demon’s Souls is now a cross-platform franchise that has been kicking our collective behinds since 2009. Dark Souls III will be the series’ 2016 entry, and from what we’ve seen and heard so far, it’s every bit as punishing as its predecessors.

The combat will be faster, and there’s even a new system which basically gifts you with new abilities depending on the weapon you’re holding. As for the bosses, they’re bigger, uglier, and more dangerous than ever.

Masochists unite, because Dark Souls III is set to become one of the great PC games of 2016!

3. Deus Ex: Mankind Divided

Deus Ex: Mankind Divided is taking the cyberpunk RPG franchise to another level with larger worlds, more augmentations, and even more conspiracies than you can shake a tinfoil hat at.

Adam Jensen is back, and this time, he’ll be dealing with terrorists who are demanding equal treatment for people who have been augmented. Unfortunately, augmented people are now looked on with great suspicion, making it harder for dudes like Jensen to do their groceries without getting knifed in the posterior.

Jensen’s quest will take him to the Czech Republic, where we can expect he’ll have lots of opportunity to try out his new toys. Human Revolution gave us a badass cyborg who could punch through walls, leap dozens of feet in the air, turn invisible, and eject blades from his elbows. We can’t wait to find out what other tricks he’s got up his sleeve!

We have no doubt Mankind Divided will be one of the great PC games of 2016!

2. Mass Effect: Andromeda

We really wish we knew more about this game, but BioWare’s being tight-lipped about Mass Effect: Andromeda, one of the most highly anticipated games in sci-fi gaming history.

What we do know is that it’s set many years after the first Mass Effect trilogy. BioWare’s also taking a bold step – one even Star Trek has never taken – by setting their latest game in an entirely different galaxy. Andromeda Galaxy, to be exact, which is a real galaxy neighboring our own Milky Way. And what could be more exciting than that? It’s basically stepping into the vast unknown.

New worlds. New technologies. New aliens for our hero or heroine to have uncomfortable CG sex with. New adventures and new stories. It’s going to be a blast.

1. No Man's Sky

There’s one dream every sci-fi nerd lives for: the opportunity to sails between the stars, to explore the great void of the cosmos.

If you’re a sci-fi nerd, developer Hello Games is your genie. Their game, No Man’s Sky, promises a virtual universe boasting more than 18 quintillion planets. Our minds can’t even process how big a “quintillion” is, except that it sure sounds way more than a billion.

Planets have ecosystems, so expect plants, animals, and maybe even intelligent life. Once you’ve discovered a planet, you can then submit information about it to a database called The Atlas. This allows players all over the world to share their discoveries with others.

Journey with friends, upgrade your gear, purchase starships, and defend yourself against Sentinels in what will likely be one of the great PC games of 2016!

So what do you think, gamers? What do you think will be the great PC games of 2016? Tell us in the comments section below!
