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)

Beyond All Reason if you're looking for an RTS similar to Supreme Commander. I haven't tried playing it in a few years though. I'm sure it's gotten some updates since then.

Great game, although someone recently told me not all graphics were licensed free licenses.

Supreme Commander & SupCom Forged Alliance are super cheap on discount on GOG. Forged Alliance Forever is incredible with the amount of work they've done to patch the game and keep the community going.
