Download sites
Congrats. You made it through all the boring shit.
Time for the fun stuff.
Even if it may seem that a game which may not be so popular is only present in an unsafe site, please consult cs.rin.ru.
These files will usually be clean files. Pirated files will be given beneath in the comments of the thread
My personal recommendations for sites will be highlighted and listed at the top.
Every other site listed has been reported to be confirmed safe by the community, however, I can not verify these claims.

Direct Download Sites
Direct Downloads are any normal download. You download the file from a server through a web browser. It is significantly safer to download this way and you will not need a VPN. In some cases, you will need a VPN to access blocked filehost sites. It is recommended to use a Download Manager mentioned earlier in the guide to help manage your downloads and increase download speeds.

Repacks
Repacks are highly compressed games, designed for people with slow/limited internet bandwidth. Once you download them, you must install them on your computer which can take a long time due to file decompression.
While you don't have to have slow or limited internet bandwidth to download repacks, the download time is greatly reduced. I recommend them over most direct download sites.
People with no links attached to them upload in forums / torrent sites.

Torrent Sites
You will likely need a VPN to download torrents to avoid receiving Copyright notices from your internet provider.
Read more in the VPN & Privacy earlier in this guide. Torrents are P2P downloads - you download from other people who have downloaded the file. No servers are involved.
For a list of uploaders to stay away from, refer back to the Uploaders to avoid section.
VR Games
Old/Retro PC Games
While most of the stuff on Archive.org, OldGamesDownload and MyAbandonware are safe, some can be unsafe too since the sources for the games there often have blurry lines! Please be careful when downloading anything these sites.
