What are some great open source games? (programming.dev)

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)

Warzone 2100, from the community project website and not Steam. Some douche just took the code and uploaded it to Steam themself and does a poor job maintaining it.

Warzone 2100 was my jam! They hadn't actually got cutscenes working in the Linux port I was using so I was.very confused about the story.

Around the year 2000, I had to make a choice between Battlezone 1 and Warzone 2100. I chose Warzone and have never regretted it.

It's always nice just to run through the campaign every couple of years.
