Whatoplay presents the Top 10 Free-To-Play Games On The PC So Far
This ranking is based on a 1 to 10 scoring system that aggregates
critic and gamer reviews into a unique score called a PlayScore.
As
much as new reviews show up, and are added, the PlayScore changes.
Opening our list is Star Wars: The Old Republic
Game's like these give me so much hope for a bigger and more amazing Star Wars online
game.
The Old Republic is known for its branching story arc.
Whether you want to be a Sith or a Jedi, the balance of the Force hangs within it.
This is one of the best games to truly give us a Star Wars experience.
Totalling to almost 5 expansions, this game has soooo much content.
The old republic gains PlayScore of 7.86
Ninth Place is League Of Legends
Inspired by MOBA giant, DotA.
This multiplayer online based arena has similar elements compared to DotA 2 such as Microtransactions
but then again League has a different approach to MOBA.
The game introduces 3 game modes that offer a new challenge to players if they were to
look for it.
With an accumulated prize pool of over 3 million dollars, League of Legends remains a steady
competitor to Dota 2.
League of Legends gets a PlayScore of 7.88
Number Eight is Heroes Of The Storm
While dubbed as MOBA, Blizzard does not want to describe the game as such because it is
a broad field.
They prefer the term "Hero Brawler".
It features characters from Blizzard's Universe such as Warcraft, Diablo, StarCraft and even
the upcoming Overwatch to clash into a 5 v 5 battle.
The game features 3 game modes wherein you can control over 40 heroes with different
roles, different abilities, and different classes.
Heroes of the Storm receives a PlayScore of 8.15
Rank Seventh is Path Of Exile
Yeah, we get you.
"Why does this look like Diablo?!", It's heavily inspired from Blizzard's magnum opus while
also individuating it from its source.
The unique aspect of Path of Exile runs on the millions of possibilities for your character
skill.
The wide array of customization is so rewarding that taking it takes a step by step process.
Path Of Exile receives a PlayScore of 8.16
Sixth on the list is Smite!
This game makes "Deicide" look like a children's party.
Choose from over 70 mythical gods both microtransacted and free, to clash your way through 5 game
modes.
The challenge is evident and the unique third-person mechanic makes the game all the more battle-hardened
instead of the isometric-gameplay approach.
Zeus approves of this game with a PlayScore of 8.19
Fifth place is The Lord Of The Rings Online
Now this.. is an MMORPG Lord of the Rings players are looking for.
Originally subscription based, it is now free-to-play.
The game offers expansion sets, a Lore-oriented character creation system and a story driven
journey to make players feel like they belong in the Middle Earth.
Lord of the Rings Online receives a PlayScore of 8.22
Fourth is PlanetSide 2
This game is a sequel to 2003's PlanetSide and a Guinness Book of Records-holder of the
biggest first-person shooter battle, with more than 1600 players in a single online
battle session.

crap out of players!

Third on our spot is Tribes: Ascend
Yeah, guys.
This game is still alive.
If you completely forgot the fact that this game exists, then lucky you.

Embrace a Halo-esque shooter that feels satisfying to the core and shoot your enemies dry.
Say hello to Tribes: Ascend.
With a PlayScore of 8.33
2nd place is Team Fortress 2
No doubt about it.
Whacky gameplay modes, silly character models and over-the-top weapons that you wouldn't
possibly think exists.
It's a multiplayer first-person shooter that combines quirky fun and a comprehensive class-system
to make players know that this game is for real.
There are over 9 classes to choose from and two teams that creates the challenge in the
game.
This colorful shooter receives a PlayScore of 8.86

pool of 18 million dollars this is the most well-known MOBA game to date.
