The experience on Green Man Gaming is similar to popular platforms like Steam and Origin. But, we think it is more relatable to Steam due to assured safety and occasional huge offers.

Green Man Gaming is a British-based online video game retailing platform launched in 2010 by Paul Sulyok, who had been the former CEO of Prize Fight, a platform devoted to online gaming. It currently has over 9000 games selling in 195 countries.

If you’re a PC gamer, Green Man Gaming is the place you should visit to grab a nice deal. This site doesn’t have any niche games but is a collection of various types of games so that every gamer can find something they love. They have a section for only indie games, though.

The Hot Deals tab is our favorite place to visit on Green Man Gaming as it offers huge discounts on the latest games. You will also be given a code by them using which you can strike off an extra 10 or 20 percent on the products in your shopping cart.

Additional features include Playfire that helps you connect with friends (even from Facebook if you wish to). Add games to your connection on Playfire and list your achievements.

The library does not have a wide range of products, but the discounts are impressive. Green Man Gaming may not work as a primary stop to buy online game codes, but it is perfect if you want flexible discounts on the recent releases.

If you’re dissatisfied with any product, you can request a refund within 7 days.

Highlights:

• Find the latest releases.
• Join the Playfire community to know about trending games and share your achievements on your profile.

No matter which site you choose, you should not overlook some basic precautions such as checking about the dealer and verifying if the price range is lower than that in other sites. Beware of fraudsters who pose as celebrities or famous personalities and sell illegal products.

Let me know which of these gaming sites worked the best for you as G2A alternatives.
