Smite is a third person MOBA developed by Hi-Rez Studios where you fight as one of the ancient gods of world mythologies, taking out enemy Gods, towers, minions and bases, all while playing in the refreshing new third person perspective.
It wouldn’t be a MOBA without a classic 3 lane map, but Smite has lots of other play options that are actually good fun – something that is sadly missing among MOBAs. Whether it’s the speedy Arena mode, the battle heavy Assault mode or one of the crazier Match of the Day scenarios, there’s plenty to do in this game.
Add to this an unobtrusive cash shop, decent graphics and well developed gameplay and you have a winner. Smite is highly recommended, a free to play title that is as enjoyable and challenging as you want it to be.

Restrictive free trial

Star Stable Online is a free to play MMORPG that's all about horses and female heroines.
Players create their characters and horses, and are taken to Jorvic, a fantasy island in which you'll quest, raise and train horses, and grow your heroine and stable while making new online friends.
The game has been around since 2011 and contains thousands of quests, but quantity doesn't mean quality as most of the questing mechanics are old-school in nature and mundane.
Gameplay mechanics are rather clunky when it comes to horse control, but key systems like racing are fun to participate in.
The game while free does have a limited trial up until level 5, when a payment becomes necessary to continue playing.
Overall, it's a unique MMORPG for younger audiences and horse lovers alike.

With over 50 ship designs and strategic base-building mechanics, the game offers depth and immersion for both Trekkies and strategy enthusiasts alike.

Some repetitive quest types
Unworthy animation
Star Trek Online is an MMO developed by Cryptic Studios and inspired the eponymous television series.
Chronologically, it is set thirty years after the conclusion of the events of Star Trek: Nemesis and drops us in the middle of the rekindled conflict between the Federation and the Klingons, without forgetting about the Borg, always lurking in the background.
Character customization is very good and allows you to choose between three different factions, with numerous races for each, and three distinct classes between them.
Customization also extends to physical appearance and choice of skills.
During the game we will have the opportunity to complete assignments on foot or aboard our personal spaceship.
On foot, the game seems like an action/RPG hybrid where we directly control our character through a third-person view.
Aboard the ship, however, we will have the opportunity to fight and to explore the surrounding area.
Graphically the game is very good but is lacking in some technical fields, one of which is the animation in the third-person sections.
All in all, it's a good game for fans of the genre and a great game for avid fans of Star Trek.

Steel Hunters drops you into a war-torn futuristic battlefield where towering mechs and elite pilots engage in fast-paced tactical skirmishes. Combining elements of battle royales, MOBA, and third-person shooters, it challenges players to outwit, outgun, and outmaneuver each other in chaotic, yet strategic encounters.
Developed by Kingsoft and driven by Unreal Engine 4, the game stands out for its crisp visuals, highly customizable mechs, and the delicate balance between survival mechanics and deep progression systems. Players select from a roster of distinctive steel titans, each equipped with its own weapons, abilities, and playstyle, and then jump into large, open arenas riddled with environmental hazards, loot zones, and rival hunters.
The core gameplay revolves around PvEvP (Player vs Environment vs Player), where AI-controlled enemies and real opponents create a constant layer of danger. As you eliminate targets and complete objectives, you gain upgrades on the fly—enhancing your mech’s firepower, armor, and mobility.
Resource gathering, stealth ambushes, and tactical positioning are key components, offering a more methodical pace than your standard run-and-gun shooter.
The mix of tactical decision-making, mech customization, and intense firefights helps Steel Hunters to carve its niche in the increasingly crowded PvP market. It's not for everyone, but for those who enjoy Titanfall’s mechs with a hint of Escape from Tarkov’s tension, it just might be a hidden gem worth exploring.

Taonga: The Island Farm is a browser and mobile-based farming simulation game that blends the classic appeal of farm builders with tropical island exploration and casual adventure. Developed by Volka Entertainment, the game throws players into the role of a shipwreck survivor who finds himself on a mysterious archipelago, where farming is just the beginning of his island life.
At its core, Taonga is about building a vibrant, self-sustaining farm, harvesting crops, raising animals, crafting goods, and trading with other islanders. But unlike many farming sims, Taonga spices things up with a semi-narrative structure. As you level up, you unlock new islands filled with secrets, quests, and characters that give a little bit of flavor to your otherwise zen gameplay loop.
What makes Taonga stand out is its exploration system, which adds layers of progression beyond the traditional “plant, harvest, upgrade” cycle. While energy management limits how much you can do in one session (a common mechanic in freemium games), there’s enough to keep you coming back for your daily island fix.
A bright, colorful art style keeps things visually pleasant, with intuitive UI and relaxing sound design making it a comfy experience.

Tree of Savior is a Korean isometric MMORPG from IMC Games that wears its old-school sensibilities—and its Ragnarok Online heritage—on an embroidered sleeve.
The first thing that hits you is the look: painterly backdrops, chibi-but-detailed character sprites, and particle effects that bloom like magic confetti.
The second thing is the class system. You don’t just pick a role; you stitch one together from multiple class advancements, mixing archetypes (Wizard, Swordsman, Archer, Cleric, Scout) with a smorgasbord of subclasses to create a build that’s either brilliantly synergized… or hilariously cursed. That freedom is the game’s identity: it’s a sandbox for build-tinkerers.
Combat is quick and flashy—an action-oriented click/keyboard/controller affair where positioning, cooldowns, and mob herding matter. The PvE loop leans hard into grinding, with quest hubs, instanced dungeons, raids, challenge modes, and field farming that feels cozy when you’re in the groove. Gear progression, attributes, enchants, and ichors layer on long-term goals, while the soundtrack—light, whimsical, and nostalgic—keeps the mood buoyant.
It’s not all cotton-candy clouds. Tree of Savior has historically struggled with a clunky UI, uneven onboarding, and performance hiccups during busy scenes. Some systems are opaque until you live in them, and the meta can feel like a moving target. Monetization and event cadence have waxed and waned over the years, and the population varies by region and season.
Still, when Tree of Savior clicks, it really clicks. It’s that rare MMO where experimentation is the point, where you load into a sunny field, turn monsters into fireworks, and tweak your build for “just one more” percent. If you crave expressive character building, cozy mob mowing, and throwback vibes with modern sparkle, this quirky canopy of a game is worth climbing.

Vikings: War of Clans is a strategy browser game set in the thematic world of Vikings, where as Jarls, players must build their kingdoms, armies and heroes to wage war against each other.
The game offers the traditional, addictive kingdom-building gameplay that we've learnt to appreciate in many games of the same genre, on top of an in-depth progression system and an interesting hero system to provide some much-appreciated variety and additional complexity.
The game also features truly excellent 3D animations that give Vikings: War of Clans terrific scores for graphics and presentation. Our town is alive, and you can see the townsfolk bustling around your buildings, working the forges, mines and farms...
This, paired with the pleasant and thematic soundtrack, really does a great job in letting the player enjoy and "live" the atmosphere of the game.
It comes with some cons though, such as pretty high loading times.
Overall, Vikings: War of Clans is a great browser strategy game that, despite not being able to offer anything new to the veterans of this genre, does provide a top-notch and addictive war game experience to all those looking for an old-school, traditional gameplay.
