I’m usually a fan of open source games but rarely do they manage to be actually great. People like giving recommendations like Super Tux Kart that haven’t aged well and don’t play well. What are some open source games that are legitimately good that I’ve missed?

My favorites are:

  • Mindustry

  • Sonic Robo Blast 2 Kart

  • Powder Toy

  • GZDoom (and all the amazing mods for it)

  • Veloren (even though it’s still in alpha)

  • Gmr Leon@mstdn.social

    @popcar2 Looked over the other variations of this thread and didn’t see Prospector mentioned: http://www.prospector.at/forum/about.php

    It’s a scifi roguelike where you lead a team of prospectors to try to recover valuables from across space to make enough money to retire.

    Kind of in an odd spot source-wise, as the recent source code technically isn’t open/available (last open releases were 10+ years ago), so it may no longer really fit, but seemed worth mentioning nevertheless.
