    OpenTTD is certainly a good open-source game

    My top 3 best would be Widelands, Battle for Wesnoth and FreeOrion. But the ones that I play most of the time ae the simple quick games from KDE Games collection :)

    0 A.D., Beyond All Reason, SuperTuxKart, and The Dark Mod are the four FOSS gaming projects that I find to be most impressive.

      Oh my god, thank you for reminding me about SuperTuxKart. What an absolutely incredible game (it helps that I’m pretty good at it, whereas I’m awful at Mario Kart).

    I can’t figure out if there’s a way to bookmark threads in Lemmy. So I’m gonna be that guy and leave a comment so I can come back to this thread later to install all these 😄

        That is what I meant. Now I see the star button but I swear it wasn’t showing for me on mobile before. Thanks!

          While the mobile version isn’t flawless, the development is going very well. If you encounter any issues, feel free to open an issue on their GitHub repository, and they will try to fix it

    Super Tux Kart

    Better than Mario Kart

    Open spades is an underrated gem if you like multiplayer fps. It’s like the old ace of spades beta with the 3 weapons, and destructible voxel terrain.

    Open sky is pretty nice.

    MIndustry is open source and free if you want to play single player.

    Battle for wesnoth is pretty great!

    We have a OpenSourceGames community.

    I think Xonotic and Unvanquished are pretty cool. Mindustry is very popular. Unciv and Thrive are probably lesser known but also very cool.

    Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup if you’re into rogue-likes with a lot of depth, replayability and a healthy community.

    Cataclysm: Dark Days Ahead. Persistent procedural open world zombie survival sandbox roguelike, and the inspiration for Project Zomboid. SsethTzeentach did a review/ primer a few years ago, though the game changed quite a bit since then.
