Free means free to play in the Steam store today. Kinds come from the tags Steam players give each game; reviews are Steam’s own, and “Best reviewed” weighs a game’s share of positive reviews by how many there are, so a small game cannot top it on a handful of votes. The list covers the free games Coilr tracks with a player count history, and refreshes every 30 minutes.

Are free-to-play games on Steam really free?
The game itself is free to download and play. Most free-to-play games make money from optional purchases such as cosmetics, battle passes or boosts; how much those matter differs a lot between games, and the reviews are usually the quickest way to find out.
What is the difference between free to play and free to keep?
Free-to-play games are always free. Free to keep means a paid game is 100% off for a limited time: claim it before the offer ends and it stays in your library for good.
