Hi, my name is ColdBeer and this is my list of FREE Open World games available on Steam
right now!
I have found about a hundred of them and from this pile I had to make a list of the best
there is.
Feel free to share your favorites in the comments section below.
Maybe I’ve missed your game, share the name with us.
Let’s start with
Runescape
Legendary game has returned with brand new looks, but the feels are still the same!
Some of us had started to play Runescape back in 2001 with dial-up internet and the game
is still alive since then.
Although it has changed visually a lot as we all did in that period, but differently
from us Runescape got prettier and we got... well, you know.
Fatter.
I can actually hear you getting fatter.
Here you will visit hundreds of unique locations, from the medieval castles to the dangerous
barren expanses of the Wilderness or the tropical forests.
Here you can even have your own port!
Run your own farm and make a pretty money by selling useless stuff for other players,
and keep your less useless stuff safe in the bank.
Explore the world with friends, or seek your fame and fortune as a lone adventurer.
Yes, there are a lot of bosses that you can beat in solo mode without any help from other
players.
Creativerse
At first it was called a Minecraft clone nobody asked for, but later people just fell in love
with it and very positive reviews on Steam confirms that statement quite well.
As people say - this is a bit prettier Minecraft, where obviously a more powerful machine to
run in it is required.
Although the world looks like a famous game of cubes, the player models and monsters are
created using different technique.
Game keeps the core gameplay free, although if you want really cool things, such as glider,
you will have to pay about 20 euros for the Pro version of the game, but don’t worry,
there is plenty of stuff to do without spending a dime.
Here you will begin your journey in your own private world, with a horizon stretching for
days in every direction.
Survival will not be easy... at first.
And later you will start to feel like Jason Stathem when killing innocent endangered cave
dwellers with your awesomeness alone.
Who the hell are you?
I’m what you may call a Champagne problem.
{loud screams}
Also you can visit hundreds of public worlds, take on the journey with other players and
build giant dicks together.
Because if you never built a skyscraper pp - have you even played at all?
Warframe
This is parkour slashing running shooting trading farming space ninja simulator with
a ridiculous amount of stuff to do.
Here you can choose from over 300 different weapons and modify them as you want in those
short breaks from killing stuff left and right.
The weapons and Warframes you have are extremely powerful and you oneshot pretty much everything.
There is some harder content in this game, but it doesn't even matter.
Here you will feel like a truly powerful hero, just like your cat feels when it casually
eats a giant spider... just seconds before you decide to burn your house down along with
it.
In Warframe it's very fun to blow stuff up, and also to participate in the economy, as
the premium currency is tradeable.
Game is kinda difficult for the beginners, you will have to frequently google various
things to grasp on games mechanics, builds and so on.
Of course, nothing so serious like in Eve Online, where the learning curve is steeper
than your chances to get laid.
You nerd.
Warframe’s story revolves around grotesque clones and capitalist machines that dominate
our solar system and you have to fight back against greed and corruption.
I know that this all sounds like a wet comunist dream of Lenin or something, but you will
feel like a good guy here, I promise.
Just like Lenin did back in the days.
And of course you don’t have to work alone - you can Invite three friends.
Although if you are a loner with no buddies to play with, you probably want to know if
you can play Warframe alone.
And yes you can, almost everything can be done solo here, but you will probably find
a friend or two in a process anyway.
Although keep in mind that Warframe needs your internet connection all the time.
It’s like your umbilical cord that feeds you, except this time the mother is you and
you feed this game and its creators with your wasted time.
And sometimes money.
Conquerors Blade
In this tactical action MMO you will command your armies to secure dominion over a vast
open world.
Use devastating siege weapons to attack enemy castles where two teams of 15 players fight
to defend their fortifications.
Yeah, here your sabers will hack and slash through human flesh in real time massive battles
and that is amazing.
You can also create your own House to join forces with other players - forging powerful
alliances can be the key to victory, but beware, alliances can be broken too.
So, why wait, after a great victory be the one who puts your trusty knife into your friends
back without any hesitation.
There is no fair play in politics and especially in medieval politics.
Once you understand the game a little, you’ll realize it's not just a button smasher, but
takes a bit of skill for success so you can outwit your opponents.
Yes you will have to use your brain in here.
I know it can hurt, because it’s a new activity for all of us, but you will get used to it,
I promise.
Although many are complaining about grinding - you have to put in a lot of effort if you
want to have the same units as paying customers have, but hey, it’s the process of every
free game and for me it’s always relaxing and fun.
Unturned
I’m not kidding, this is another game with cubes and sharp edges.
Although this time it is a zombie apocalypse - I know, not as bad as reality was in 2020,
but still a terrifying experience.
Here you're one of the few not yet turned into zombies.
Keeping it that way will be a challenge, so you can just go in guns blazing and attract
the attention of everything, living and dead or take a subtle approach sneaking around
and making use of distractions.
Here you can wield a vast arsenal of abilities ranging from invisibility to fire breathing
and lightning attacks.
Yeah, this is not a very realistic game, but who needs that.
It reminds me of my recent nightmare: I was dreaming that I was going to buy the strongest
vodka in Lidl, because vodka could save me from becoming a zombie, but every bottle in
there contained only non-alcoholic vodka.
That was the most terrifying experience I had in years.
So, keep in mind that this is a survival game, meaning that you have to forage wild fruits
and vegetables, fish for food and various trash, because you know, one man’s trash
is another man’s treasure and you are that person who sees treasure in every garbage.
Like your mother in law sees garbage in you, while your wife can see a treasure.
Does that make you a Schroedingers garbage?
Hmm....
You will also hunt animals for pelts and meat, or in some hostile environments become the
prey.
Well, I repeat - survival game.
You probably die a lot.
Also you can play along with other players, combat the environment with peaceful cooperation
or go into arena mode in a last man standing battle to the death.
You can also play game solo or even offline, so you can meet, talk and trade with NPCs,
complete quests and progress the story.
The developer is definitely caring for this game and puts out constant updates.
So, differently from zombies it features, Unturned is very much alive.
Rift
An easiest way to describe the game is a free World of Warcraft and many players who played
both games are even saying that the Rift is better.
Well, allegedly it was better, because now, according to the old players, it has changed
and it is not as good as in early years.
So if you never played the game before, you will probably like it.
Here you will start by choosing from six races and although you cannot customize your choochie
hair colour like in Cyberpunk it still has dozens of unique traits and abilities.
The world of Rift is living and dynamic where chaos can erupt at any moment.
So gather your imaginary friends and delve into dozens of dungeons and raids for groups
of 2, 5, 10, and 20 players.
Sadly there are no plans for future expansions, as lately it has struggled to keep up with
World of Warcraft and Final Fantasy’s subscriber base.
Game is free to play, although you will never look as good as paying customers, but that's
kinda it, if you play enough, you will become as powerful as the one who pays for stuff,
just not as beautiful.
You know, just like in real life - if you dress yourself with clothes you just found
lying near a trash container, or in it, you will look a bit worse than a dude who buys
his stuff in a store, although you will be both equally warm.
And in Rift, just like in real life, you can find stuff around and dress your character
with it.
You know it’s free, but functional.
That’s what matters, not some high fashion stuff.
And by grinding for this gear you have nothing to lose except your time anyway.
Timey wimey wibbly wobbly stuff.
Trove
Cubes again.
Battle the forces of Shadow in realms filled with incredible dungeons and items created
by other players.
Play as a Knight, Gunslinger, Ice Sage, Dracolyte, Pirate-with-a-parrot, or any of the other
Classes in Trove while mastering deadly abilities.
Explore fully destructible realms on the backs of various mounts, such as fire-breathing
dragons - of course if you want to get a mount like that you will have to work a lot and
grind for days.
Trove is hard to get off in the beginning, but once you get the basics and start the
grinding process, you will be hooked.
Really hooked, like a, you know... like a hooker.
Yeah, kinda, because this game and you will surely spend some intimate time together.
Grinding towards newer mounts or even better equipment is fun and doesn't seem so repetitive
like in other similar games.
Although be aware that for some people Steam’s client feels buggy and they prefer to play
on the original game’s client which is available for downloading in the official Trove’s
website.
Crossout
This is the post-apocalyptic Mad Maxish MMO game where you craft your unique battle machines
from dozens of interchangeable parts and destroy your enemies in an open world PvP online battles!
Here you can unleash your creativity like a boss and construct everything from nimble
buggies to heavily tracked off-road vehicles or a real combat pp with wheels.
What?
It’s a real thing.
I’ll cum anywhere I want!
Game uses an advanced damage model - destroy any part of an enemy machine and it will affect
its performance immediately.
Here you will have a huge arsenal of weapons: from chainsaws, power-drills to machine guns
or rocket launchers, flying drones and stealth generators so you can be invisible to your
puny enemies and backstab them with your... machine guns.
Everything can be achieved in your own workshop: here you can create new, advanced parts and
auction them at the in-game marketplace.
Every piece that you have gathered in the battle can be sold to other players.
The game is a proud owner of positive reviews on steam and that is always a good sign.
Albion Online
This is a sandbox MMORPG set in an open medieval fantasy world.
The game features a player-driven economy where nearly every item is player-crafted.
Here you can combine armor and weapons suited to your playstyle in a unique, classless "you
are what you wear" system.
So, I guess, it’s better to look like this, instead of this.
The weapons and armor you use define your skills, and switching playstyles is as easy
as switching gear.
You can also conquer territories, and build a home.
Well, don’t limit yourself with just a home - claim a city plot or private island and
make it your own.
Grow crops to sell or craft into food, raise your own livestock and mounts.
Yeah, you can breed even exotic and rare mounts ingame.
How cool is that?
Albion Online provides vast amount of activities for you to embark on: 2v2 or 5v5 hellgates,
5v5 arenas, 5v5 crystal leagues, 20v20 crystal leagues, solo dungeons, corrupted dungeons,
group dungeons, dick enlargment operations, avalonian dungeons, static dungeons, hardcore
expeditions, open-world roaming, PVPing...
Wait wait... what?
And the game often has very positive reviews on Steam, so it's really worth your attention.
Destiny 2
Game has both recent and overall very positive reviews on Steam and this makes Destiny 2
the most loved game on this list.
Well, officially, we can all have our own preferences.
Here you will dive into the world of Destiny 2 to explore the mysteries of the solar system
and experience great first-person shooter combat.
You are a Guardian, defender of the Last City of humanity in a solar system under siege
by infamous villains.
Look to the stars and stand against the darkness.
Unlock powerful elemental abilities and collect unique gear to customize your Guardian's look
and playstyle.
Here you will enjoy cinematic story, challenging co-op missions, and a variety of PvP modes
alone or with friends.
People in the comment section are saying that Destiny 2 should be classified as a drug.
Not because you have to inject it into your veins, although I’m pretty sure many of
the players would do that, but because it’s addictive.
More addictive than potato salad with marinated herring combined.
And I can think of only one more addictive substance on Earth than that - a concentrated
portion of my humor!
Can you imagine injecting it into your gluteus maximus?
Oh wait, that may make you immune to my jokes.
Forget it.
And now it’s the time when you press like and subscribe to my channel for more epic
videos like that.
And of course, don’t forget that you can help me survive in harsh Eastern European
conditions by becoming my Patreon supporter.
Even one dollar per month is a huge help, I can buy at least 1 beer can for that, and
you will also get instant access to all my supporters-only videos.

Bye.
