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)

    When I played open source games around 15 years ago, these were all the same games mentioned. There doesn’t seem to be a lot of progress

      Veloren is written in Rust and is inspired by Zelda Breath of The Wild. Both of those are relatively recent.
