Good Free to play games non pay to win?

[Cloakedwand72]

Do you have any recommendations on good free to play mmo/Action/FPS or sandbox open would games?Not interested in MOBA games.

[Theysen]

Robocraft? You already have a huge advantage as KSP veteran when it comes to building at least I guess

[megatiger78]

Planetside 2? also spiral knights looks like a MOBA a bit but it is not one. great game.

[TARDISES]

TF2 does have a few paid advantages but they do not directly effect gameplay - it has premium but is NOT pay to win.

[RainDreamer]

Uhhh...I haven't been playing online game recently, but I can recommend Firefall and Warframe.

[Yukon0009]

There's a little TF2 demake called Gang Garrison 2 if you like 2D.

[Woopert]

War Thunder. You can pay to level up faster but it's not pay to win really.

Gotta shamelessly plug Planetside 2. There's nothing out there that does what it does (and if it tries, it doesnt do it well). While it has plenty of downsides, it's managed to pull me back for almost 550 hours combat time.

I ended up quitting robocraft because the devs are trying to push it as a MOBA/E-sports game even though because of the way it works, the Esports scene won't ever pick it up. That and they refuse to address the glaring balance problem that is the SMGs, so take that for what you will.

As people have already said, Planetside 2 is up there. It's a massive FPS with some paid elements but nothing you can't get by playing the game for free (save aesthetics).

[RocketScientist00]

Hearthstone: Heroes of Warcraft? If you're interested in trading card games. Well, I dunno if some people like trading card games at all, but this is the only one I'll recommend, since you don't like MOBA, I could have suggested Heroes of the Storm or Robocraft.

Well, whatever you choose, anyway.

Mech Warrior Online is getting better and better I hear!

It used to be quite unbalanced, but that's practically over now.

Most of the things you can pay for are obtainable for free as well, the other things are vanity stuff or experience-boosters. None are game-breaking.

TF2 ! totally free on steam ! You just pay for hats, hats and hats again

[rtxoff]

Fallout Shelter if you like to play on tablets

DDO.

Basic quest areas are free, and there is a lot of them.

Most things you need to buy from store is new quest areas.

One thing you definitely need to buy, and it's smells like Pay-to-Win is Epic Destinies unlock, but you only need it at level 20 of total 28, and leveling up is sloooow.

Premium currency are given for free for any faction reputation gains, and, you can, theoretically, buy new areas, farm reputation here, repeat.

Warning: This is not modern Click-To-Win MMO, you need to THINK there.

Pretty steep learning curve, tho.

I play War Thunder.

Doesn't have the silly 'gold ammo' issues and excessively hostile community of World of Tanks, much better 3D engine and absurd fun blasting things across the map once you learned to keep hull down, front towards enemy and don't do silly things after a hundred hours learning from the University of Hard Knocks.

Multiplayer gameplay is quite interesting in Realistic and Simulator modes - target spotting is manual so cover, concealment and knowledge of rangefinding and optics is crucial to hit anything beyond spitting range.

Can confirm, you can buy weapons but you can get them through playing anyway
