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)

    Possible unfree licenses for artwork

    I’d still consider the game open source, even if the art is copyrighted.

    Dwarf Fortress

    Is there an open source version? It’s a great game (also try the steam edition if you check it out), but I thought it was closed-source.

      Dwarf Fortress is not open source. You are correct.
