[PC] Suggest some dirt cheap games that you think is pretty good

• daggerfall-unity

  302 2,553 9.5 C#

  Open source recreation of Daggerfall in the Unity engine

While we're on older games, Elder Scrolls II: Daggerfall is free. Yes, that Elder Scrolls series. This entry is from 1994 and the Daggerfall Unity project lets you play it on modern Windows with a ton of bugfixes and quality-of-life features.

• Cataclysm-DDA

  1,903 9,667 10.0 C++

  Cataclysm - Dark Days Ahead. A turn-based survival game set in a post-apocalyptic world.

  

Cataclysm: Dark Days Ahead. It's a free and open source apocalypse survival game. Lots of zombies. Difficult to learn to play. It's my favorite game on the computer right now. I suggest playing the experimental build using the Catapult launcher. The game also works for Android, but don't play on any device where you can't use a real keyboard. The game uses your entire keyboard and I suggest you avoid playing with the touch controls unless you have no other choice.

• Mindustry

  272 21,021 9.9 Java

  The automation tower defense RTS

Mindustry. It's pay-what-you-want on itch.io for PC, Mac, Linux, and Android. You can choose to pay nothing. It's $1 USD on the Apple store for iOS. It's a factory builder with more of an emphasis on tower defense than something like Factorio. It's got mod support, cross-platform multiplayer, the works.

• Catapult

  59 328 7.4 GDScript

  A cross-platform launcher for Cataclysm: DDA and BN

Cataclysm: Dark Days Ahead. It's a free and open source apocalypse survival game. Lots of zombies. Difficult to learn to play. It's my favorite game on the computer right now.

• endless-sky

  146 5,344 9.8 C++

  Space exploration, trading, and combat game.

  

Endless Sky More open-source stuff (notice a pattern yet?). This is a free game about making money and enemies in outer space. I don't know if you've played the old Escape Velocity series, but this is kind of like that.

• alephone

  220 592 9.2 C++

  Aleph One is the open source continuation of Bungie’s Marathon 2 game engine.

  

The Marathon series. These games are older (mid 1990s), but they're the shooters that Bungie made before they made Halo. The Aleph One port lets you play the games on modern systems.
