Free Games for Geeks in Isolation

Multiple countries have gone in to complete lockdown in order to stem the spread of the coronavirus (COVID-19). As a result, there are billions of people around the world who have been forced to stay at home in order to maintain social distancing and keep COVID-19 from spreading.

For some people, this is all new, yet for others, staying at home is something they love doing, and do it well. Many geeks spend hours gaming and have this down to a knack. Other geeks might be new to this and are looking for some interesting games to help pass this time in isolation. We have done a bit of research and have come up with a guide to choosing the best games and some suggestions.

Most geeks have decided to look for free games that will keep them entertained and also let them interact with fellow geeks. A number of geek-friendly online gaming sites have reported a surge in traffic during this lockdown and have confirmed a spike in the number of players who are trying out their special games. We decided to list some of the most popular games that geeks can try out for free.

Multiplayer Games On Steam

Geeks usually like a lot of alone time but this extended lockdown has also made them eager to find fellow geeks to interact with. The best way to do this online is to find multiplayer strategy games (MSG) where they can get to game along with fellow geeks.

MSG games will allow players to come out with a strategy of their own and work together in tandem to overcome different challenges and obstacles that are found in these games. The best place for geeks to find free PC games is on STEAM, although the Epic Game Store is also worth a look for some great free games!

Star Trek Online

For those of you that haven’t played Star Trek Online, it is a free-to-play massively multiplayer online game that allows players to explore the Star Trek universe from within. Players can forge their own destiny as Captain of a Federation starship, champion the Empire through the far reaches of the galaxy as a Klingon Warrior, rebuild the Romulan legacy as the commander of a Romulan Republic Warbird or carry out daring missions on behalf of the Dominion as a Jem’Hadar soldier. Captains can also explore iconic locations from the Star Trek universe, make contact with new alien species and battle alongside other players in customizable starships. Star Trek Online is currently available on PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.

War Selection

 

This game was developed by Glyph Worlds and came out only in November 2019. The game can be played on Linux and Windows operating systems. This is an RTS pseudo-historical game where players will have to build their empire starting from the Stone Age to the present. A total of 62 players can have a go at War Selection which is based on Armageddon styled Battle Royale.

This game is available in free to play mode and has got rave reviews on Steam. The graphics and gameplay are top notch and it will not take you long to figure out how this game works. Given the fact that you can play with over 60 different players from all over the world, this game is one of the most popular MSG games during the lockdown.

Epic Game Store

Epic Game Store also has a small selection of free-to-play games, but where it really shines is that it frequently gives away full-price games totally free! They are currently running a massive sale (which has some great deals in itself!), but every Thursday, they are dropping a new major (if a little older) title completely free of charge.

Recent releases have included GTA V, Civilisation VI, and, at time of writing, the free game is Borderlands: The Handsome Collection. Even if you don’t want to buy games on the store, it’s worth installing on your PC just for the regular free games!

Online Slots

Online casinos have also reported a significant increase in the number of new players signing up to play online slot games. Online slots continue to be the most popular games for casino operators because they are easy to play and require no complex strategy.

Geeks who are looking to relax and try out games with different themes will find no shortage when it comes to online slots. Just about every online casino offers free to play games or welcome bonuses in the form of free spins that will allow players to try out these slots for free. You can also play for free at FlashCasino.org.

Some of the most prominent slot developers include Microgaming, NetEnt, Playtech, IGT, Play N Go and iSoftbet. These developers continue to release new slots on a regular basis to cater to the growing demand for online slot games.

Slots are usually categorized based on their themes as each player has their own preference when it comes to which online slots they would like to play. Some of these slot games have jackpots waiting to be won but you will have to use real money to play these games.

Some of the slot categories include animation slots, movie slots, romance slots, adventure slots, thriller slots, music slots, reality TV slots, horror slots, anime slots, 3D slots, adult slots and jackpot slots. If you are new to the online slot gaming market, then we suggest you try out a mix of classic and new slots to see which games suit your style of play. Here are a few free to play slot games that you can try.

Gonzo’s Quest and Starburst by NetEnt, Immortal Romance and Jurassic Park from Microgaming, Paranormal Activity and Platoon by iSoftbet, Pharaoh’s Fortune from IGT and Mystery Joker 6,000 from Play N Go are some of the slots you should check out.

Old But Gold

Some geeks have shown a tendency to go down memory lane during the lockdown and revisit some classic board games just to have fun. Popular board games like Scrabble, Ludo and Monopoly have once again witnessed renewed interest. There are a number of online gaming sites and mobile apps that allow you to play these popular board games for free and interact with other players from different parts of the world.

So take advantage of these free to play games for geeks to keep yourself busy during the lockdown.
