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)

    Xonotic is a fun spin on the Quake formula. Loved dueling with that guided rocket on aerowalk. Just a shame all the fallout that happened with Nexuiz

    Open arena is just quake 3 with bad art assets, might as well play quake live to find real players.

        It's creator sold the game's rights to a company called IllFonic in 2010 in order to release a proprietary version.

        Like the other poster said, it was an open source project but the rights were sold to illfonic. Xonotic is the fork the community made to keep the open source project going
