Who among us doesn't love a free game? I know I do, and I'm sure if you look deep into your heart and really think about it, you do too.

I think what's perhaps most magical about the existence of free games is that they don't cost you anything. Deep, right? Sure, you could dive into Final Fantasy VII Rebirth or Balatro, but the idea of playing a game you didn't have to pay for? That's living, my friend.

As such, it's time to draw your attention to a whopping 18 free games currently available to download and keep on Steam. They might not be the biggest or most well-known names out there, but they're perfect if you're gaming on a budget.

Let's take a look, shall we?

The Showdown Effect: Reloaded - A fast-paced 2D shooter that actually looks like it could be a ton of fun.
Genopanic: Prologue - A really gorgeous looking pixel-art metroidvania.
Final Dash - Some kind of 2D endless runner/platformer. Seems pretty cute.
CastingPlz - An adorable two-player adventure game about lil' wizards.
Kingdom: The Blood - "I got this for free and still feel scammed," reads the top review. Make of that what you will.
Pipe Escape - A 2D puzzle platformer that lets you live out your dream of being a pipe.
Special Force Legion Of Monsters - I'm not going to lie to you, this one has mostly negative reviews. Avoid unless you're really interested.
RaceTrap - A cute looking arcade racer.
Duel Revolution - Doesn't look a thing like Pokémon. Nope. Nothing to see here, Nintendo lawyers.
Meta-Ghost: Prologue - A really stunning looking cyberpunk rougelike.
Bolt 'N' Punch - A fun, stylish beat 'em up set in a food factory.
Guano - You play as an asshole seagull. That's the entire premise, but it's a strong one.
Night Runners - Looks an awful lot like a Need For Speed game set in Japan, which is definitely not a bad thing.
World War Next - A free-to-play low poly FPS that looks like it could be a good amount of silly fun.
Operation Space Force - Another free-to-play shooter, though this one is set in space. I'm sure you probably could've worked that out from the title, though.
World of Shooting - A first-person shooting sports sim that aims to offer a more realistic experience. Instead of running around shooting bad guys in the face, you try being a responsible gun owner and shoot targets.
Moon Rider - A really rather striking looking adventure game that claims to be all about soul searching. Sounds like it could be an interesting experience.
The Tipping Point - A free educational game designed to teach kids about climate science. Whip it out in your classroom and become the coolest teacher ever.
