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)

Oh my goodness, yes! I spent hundreds of hours playing this as a kid. Angband too.

I wish! I can’t even be sure I got past level 50. I was young haha.

I think I only managed to get past the dungeons couple of times and get to the first open space. I tried getting back to it later but learning all the rules about amulets and scrolls wasn't that fun the second time.

I only got so far based on pure RNG and nothing more.
