What free2play game are you currently hooked on?

I know older titles are usually the topic in this community but a lot of the popular f2p games are getting pretty old now too, and if you’re like me you’ve been curious about some of them and even pleasantly surprised now and again.

There are many examples like League of Legends, Apex Legends, Raid: Shadow Legends etc and I usually get hooked on one and play it for some months or more. I’m not really trying to get into the “business” side of things, I personally very rarely purchase anything but if you do that’s absolutely fine too.

The current ones I play regularly:

  • PC - Enlisted - A WW2 shooter with vehicles like the Battlefield games. Same publisher and game engine as War Thunder and has been in open beta for over 2 years now. Kinda janky still but regularly updated and enjoyable.
  • Android - CUE cards universe everything (I forget exactly lol) - Fun deck builder but very grindy if you don’t buy shit. Pretty unique concept for a deck builder what I’ve come across. Short games too so good for a smoke break or the bus or whatever.

So, what do you play?

Free Infantry. I wouldn't say I'm hooked, but it would be great if this really took off again. Was a great game back in the day. I've completely forgotten how to play it or do anything and mostly fumble around.

Various incremental/idle browser games that are truly free. Kittens Game is pretty good. It also has a mobile app (Android link) (iOS link) which you pay once upfront for. The Shark Game is also pretty cute.

Just found @incremental_games

Honkai Star Rail just passed the one-year mark and I’m massively impressed with it. I don’t often play games on mobile and this is only the second gacha I’ve put significant time into (the first being Final Fantasy Record Keeper). I honestly didn’t know my four year old, not-flagship phone could run something like this. I guess there’s a reason Hoyo has enough money to buy a small country.

The battle system is crazy good. Turn based without rounds is my favorite RPG battle system, and this might be the best version of it I’ve seen. The presentation’s great. The story and the writing is a little weird.

I wish it didn’t throw a million currencies and play modes at me, but I guess that’s the genre (or just F2P in general these days). Looking forward to when I can sort all that stuff out in my head so I’m not wasting time on it when I get a chance to open it.

I always circle back around to SRB2. It has been beautiful to watch it grow over the decades.

PC - Path of Exile - This is an ARPG similar to Diablo 2. It has very well defined terms (outside of a few edge cases) that help guide your build creation. Lots of community support. They release a new league with content and updates every 3-4 months. While F2P, stash tabs are a useful purchase if you enjoy it long-term. I’ve been playing since 1.0 (over 10 years ago now)

Android - Idle Obelisk Miner - There is some initial manual mining, but then you’ll unlock drones and bombs for mining. It’s better as a screen-on idler, but can be played screen off, but much slower. In terms of an idler, I feel the pacing is done very well. (30 days of play time in game as of now)

Warframe ever since 2012!

hell yeah warframe. I accidentally spent all of my arcane juice on steel path arcanes instead of eidolon arcanes in the sanctum, so I’m taking a break until the despair leaves my body, but I love that game

Predecessor is the best MOBA I’ve ever played, and it’s not even out of early access yet. Right now just grinding Brawl because it’s braindead action but the normal gamemode is also good.

Currently playing The Finals. Quite nice with the destruction of everything.

Recently got back into Dota 2. It’s still incredibly good!

Warframe and Lotro are terminal illnesses for me. I’m never done playing them. It’s an endless cycle of dressing up a hobbit in Middle Earth or dressing up a Warframe in space.

FeelThePower ,

I finally bit the bullet for a friend and got into Warzone, the free to play call of duty mode. And honestly, I’ve become super into it as someone who previously has not enjoyed battle royale games very much. I’m always watching the new best loadout guides, keeping up with a YouTuber even, and thinking of new playstyle ideas to try after getting home from work. I haven’t been this into a game since when I was a teenager playing counter strike.

The only mobile f2p game I’ve played in months is Super Snail. Slow burn gatcha idle rpg.

World of Tanks was the last I was hooked on but burnt out and haven’t played it in forever.

SolOrion ,

I never could get into World of Tanks. It always seemed interesting but didn’t grab me.

I gotta get back into World Of Warships tho that game is neat.

Crashumbc ,

I much preferred the older versions of WoT them the current version which is more arcade first person shooter like.

I’ve played a bunch of warships also.

HubertManne ,

would not say hooked but I have been messing around on isleward.
