I’m looking for recommendations on high quality open source games to try. Some of my favorite games I’ve played recently are Factorio, Kerbal Space Program, and Outer Wilds, but I’m willing to try many kinds of games (besides FPS).

Games originating in modding communities:
Games that are also sold on app stores, steam etc:
Games that are around for quite some time or gained quite a community around it at some point:
Open sourced commercial games:
Though for those who are more engines (SpringRTS and minetest) the quality really depends on the mods you are playing.
Some stuff I just found and never played myself:
Open sourced commercial games:
Assets are unfree but freely accessible:
I’m not sure about whether these games got 100% FLOSSed or still require bought assets:
A special case because these use CC BY-NC-SA even for source code, which is effectively unfree. They are ports of older Mac games, but most are 3D:
The “problem” with the open source game landscape is, that a lot of games are either focused on multiplayer or have randomly generated worlds, because that developers can play that too. There are games with single player story line, I think open sourced commercial games are doing a bit better with this. Commercial open source games that are open source from the beginning are a newer development.
