Pretty neat little thing.  Earth has ended, and you play as an AI in a spaceship carrying the last 1000 humans, frozen in their cryogenic pods, in search of a new home, as you slowly decay from the rigors of space travel and passing millenia.

That seedship browser game is really nice, the randomness allow for replayability with lots of different outcomes.

I landed on the first planet I scanned and got a score of 5819, with 331 colonists dead.

This is really cool, and would work for making planets for space-based roleplaying games like Traveller or Stars Without Number (granted, both systems have methods for rolling up random planets, and Stars Without Numbers has a pretty good online tool for generating up a whole sector at once, but this is more fun).

Definitely a fascinating little gem.  Here's my own first whirl.  Not an ideal of utopian post-scarcity, but I do like that the settlers didn't go full conquistador...or given the forum and the nature of the planet, I suppose it'd be full "mermaid farm". :P

EDIT:
Interesting.  It seems that with a bit of luck, you can crank your statistics up over 100%...and I didn't even notice that I managed it in my game above as well.  At any rate, for El Dorado, the far side of the singularity awaits.

Seedship sounds great, I'll make a thread for it so we don't clutter the free games area.

Rogue Effect.  A Mass Effect roguelike that is basically just multiplayer, but singleplayer and turn-based.

I've been finding the Soldier super garbage, they start with an Assault Rifle and a Sniper Rifle, which are both also-garbage.

Seedship is on Android too, btw. My high score so far is 10781 for an engaged post-singularity democracy.

There's a remake of the game M.U.L.E. out for free. It's a multiplayer game based around building and managing industries on the planet Irata, competing with other players to see who can make the most money. Activity on the game is pretty much dead, but you can play with bots to get a taste of the main experience. You have to register to play online, or you'll only appear as a guest.
You can find the game's main page here.
A guide on how to play the game can be found here.

World in Conflict is free until the 11th. It's a pretty solid RTS based on a what-if scenario of the cold war going hot.

Downside is, it's Ubisoft and thus attached to uplay. https://www.ubisoft.com/en-gb/event/world-in-conflict-giveaway/
