What are some great open source games?

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)

  • Battle for Wesnoth
  • Tales of Maj'Eyal

Adding to this:

  • Veloren
  • Cataclysm: Dark Days Ahead
  • Mindustry
  • The Dark Mod
  • Oolite
  • Flare: Empyrean Campaign
  • Xonotic
  • Unvanquished
  • Frozen Bubble

Xonotic is my favorite shooter too date. Just start it up and jump into an instaglib game for grapple hook sniper fun. The other game modes are good too though.

Tales of Maj'Eyal is a great little game if you're an rogue-like fan! I played so many hours of that game a few years back, it's seriously great!
