| Site/Source | Verdict | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| OceanofGames, IGG | ❌ Avoid | Pirated, ad-heavy, malware risks |
| GameTop, MyRealGames | ⚠️ Mixed | Mostly ad-supported, older titles |
| Giveaway.su, IndieGala | ✅ Trusted | Safe but occasional region locks |
| Game Jolt | ✅ Good | Like Itch.io, but more browser-based |
Unusual file extensions (.scr, .bat, .rar for installers)
Overloaded ads or pop-ups on every click
Forced sign-up for something unrelated (e.g., “phone contest”)
Requires third-party launcher you’ve never heard of
Too-good-to-be-true titles (“GTA 6 Pre-Release Download”)
⚠️ Golden rule: If it’s not available on a known launcher, don’t risk it.
| Game | Platform | Genre |
|---|---|---|
| Warframe | Steam/Epic | Sci-fi Shooter |
| Dauntless | Epic | Monster-Hunting |
| Lost Ark | Steam | MMO Action-RPG |
| Dota 2 | Steam | MOBA |
| Vampire Survivors (Trial) | Steam/GOG | Arcade/Survival |
