Best free games like Ultima

If you miss the days when playing an RPG meant getting lost for hours, talking to suspicious villagers and carrying enough food to feed a small army, you're probably looking for games like Ultima. This collection focuses on free RPGs that share some of the series' old-school spirit: exploration, character development, tactical combat, sprawling worlds and plenty of freedom to make questionable decisions. Some are heavily inspired by the classic Ultima games, while others take the formula in completely different directions, from dungeon crawling to open-world adventures and turn-based battles. Don't expect modern RPGs to hold your hand here. These games are more likely to give you a mysterious map, a vague hint from a stranger and absolutely no idea what you're supposed to do next. In other words, exactly the kind of experience that made old RPGs so wonderfully addictive.
