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)
Endless Sky.
It's an open world 2D spacefaring game, with a good core story and more being added by the surprisingly-active dev community.
Not without its flaws, but anyway I think it's a fantastic game in its own right. And it's both "finishable" and under continued development & expansion.
It’s surprisingly well written. Both major story arcs had me on the edge of my seat.
Endless Sky is great. It was inspired by the old Escape Velocity games by Ambrosia Software.
