Free Steam Games You Can Beat In 5 Hours Or Less

Steam’s free library is packed with games you can download and keep, but many are long enough to eat your weekend. Still, several titles clock in at roughly five hours or less, letting players get a complete experience without paying anything. Among the standout short picks is Helltaker, a roughly one-hour puzzle game by vanripper with more than 50,000 reviews and a 97% positive rate, plus Steam Deck support and a 2021 anniversary update that added a new chapter. Another option is Mandagon, an open-world puzzle platformer featuring pixel-art scenery inspired by the Tibetan concept of limbo.
