So this does seem to be the best part of the whole thing. The aggregated, filed, and described collection of games.
I can't use it because "Play now" links lead to server.cpmstar.com ("real-time bidding advertising platform and monetization solution leveraging machine learning and code generation") which is blocked by Blokada - the software/service I trust.

Thanks for replying. I read it but I couldn't find a solution to my problem - "advertising", "monetization", "machine learning" evil standing between me and free games.

Edit: Now I see that some "Play now" links are leading directly to the game's website.
