7 Free Steam Games Better Than Expensive Blockbusters

7. SNOW

Play Instead Of: STEEP

December saw the release of Ubisoft's Steep; an online open-world extreme snow sports game that sees you ski, board, glide or even wingsuit yourself down a massive, explorable mountain.

However, before you part with your money, jump on another ski lift and ride it free of charge up another mountain - Sialia of SNOW.

Okay, so you can't pull on a wingsuit or strap onto a paraglider, but SNOW offers almost everything else, with superb graphics and a realistic physics engine. The mountain is huge, fully explorable, and full of hidden ruins and towns to discover, as well as a multitude of routes to master on skis or snowboard.

There is a huge catalogue of items on offer to customise your rider, but even better, you can customise the mountain! Set up new routes for you and your friends to challenge each other, or strategically place props and jumps so you can uncover previously inaccessible areas of the mountain.

The game is Early Access, so some of the animations are still a work in progress, but game support is high and the multiplayer community is growing. Whether you want to challenge friends for the fastest time to the finish line or free roam to discover new playgrounds, SNOW offers a ski-resort holiday without having to spend a penny.
