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)

its funny how wrong they are, like games are probably the best suited case for it - no massive security risks, players could implement features they want.
if Minecraft was open source from the get go, it’d probably be bigger than unreal by now
Big or not, they talked about great games, and there are many incredible open source games, however not always very popular.
I mean, technically even games like morrowind could be called open source now, with Open Morrowind.
