Xonotic (arena shooter), 0 A.D. and Beyond All Reason (RTS), OpenTTD and OpenRCT2 (management sim), VVVVVV (platformer).
These are the one I’ve tried, out of all of them VVVVVV is probably the most polished since it was a commercial project that later got open sourced. BAR is pretty good too if you like over the top RTS games. TTD and RCT2 are reimplementations of the original games. I don’t have strong feelings towards Xonotic but arena shooters aren’t my thing so 🤷♂️
I think the easier ones to find are RTSs, or maybe that’s mostly my preferences. Anyway, there’s 0 A.D, which is kinda like an expanded Age of Empires, Beyond All Reason and Zero-K which are more similar to Total Annihilation.
Unciv is a Civ 5 clone and Mindustry is a mix of things - tower defense and factory-style (conveyor belt) resource gathering and transformation.

Curious as I am not aware myself, what are some good open source games out there?
Battle for wesnoth is definitely worth a try
