You want entertainment for free? Okay then. If you’re looking for big budget PvP micro-manipulating games, then take a look at the list of 27 Free to Play Multiplayer Games. The vibe of this list is generally smaller single player games with no micro-transactions built into the gameplay. Mostly little indies. Some are very short, others are surprisingly substantial. There will be innovation. There will be weirdness. There will be retro. There will be art. There will be time killers. There will be whimsy. There may be a little jank. There’s a couple of games from very successful devs. And there’s more out there. This is just my picks of interesting looking games, largely from the last 6 years, with some classics thrown in. Totally free. All for macOS.
