What are some great open source games?
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)

osu! is an amazing rhythm game. Try osu!lazer, it's the new client: https://osu.ppy.sh/home/download
I also like Pioneers and Endless Sky, both space sims.
This might not count, but both Lichess, a chess website, and OGS, a Go website are open source.
There is also Mindustry, but I haven't played it.
Not only is Endlessly open source, it has been crowd developed for years and years. It's still actively adding user content (stories, outfits, ships, races, etc) and has the only actually functional launcher I've ever seen (like if you want to play a stable release, or play in your own sandbox development area, etc). It's really great community of folks.
Really nice recommendation, thank you!
I play chess on lichess and go on OGS and I had no idea before opening this thread that they were open source.
Open source software is just better I guess
