Time to announce more FREE GAMES; do you want to do it? No? Alright.
I'll do it. But these are 'free on Steam', so quality isn't assured
(or even likely); don't expect anything beyond not having to pay.

* War Gun
https://store.steampowered.com/app/2430380/War_Gun_Shooting_Games_Online/
"Shooting Games Online" is this game's subtitle, so you can probably
guess what it's all about. It's "Modern Warfare", except developed
with a much smaller budget. Expect lots of hacks and empty servers.

* Downbass Warriors: Heroes of Maydamn
https://store.steampowered.com/app/2112090/Downbass_Warriors_Heroes_of_Maydamn/
Another online shooter. I think the name is supposed to reference the
Donbass region of Ukraine, currently squatted on by Russia. Is it
good? No idea. Do I want to play it? Nope.

* Home Sweet Home: Online
https://store.steampowered.com/app/2112090/Downbass_Warriors_Heroes_of_Maydamn/
* Home Sweet Home: Survive
https://store.steampowered.com/app/1056600/Home_Sweet_Home__Survive/
Two games from the same series. The first is an online survival
horror; a 4v4 battler of monsters vs. humans. The second is basically
the same thing, but 4v1. Apparently the monsters are based on Thai
myths. Both, unsurprisingly, are early-access.

* Archipelago Promise, The
https://store.steampowered.com/app/2163210/The_Archipelago_Promise/
Your usual first-person action/adventure survival game. You're dumped
in an archipelago and must scramble for gear that let's you survive
long enough to find your missing brother. Early access, so lots of
rough edges.

I know, I know; these are not the greatest free games we've seen in
this newsgroup. Look, I just announce them. Just keep reminding
yourself: they're free. ;-)

Just like the last bunch you posted about, the links do not work. It
just says there was a problem with adding them to your account. So I
just copied from your post and pasted them into Steam to get them
which was quick and worked without issue.

Thanks Spalls!
