For example veloren

Do you play open-source games? If yes, which games do you enjoy?

    Battle for Wesnoth is a personal favorite of mine that I haven’t seen mentioned elsewhere in the thread. It’s a pixel art, hex-grid turn based strategy game with fantasy armies. It’s mixed with mild RPG elements, and there’s tons and tons of campaigns and fanmade content accessible directly through a mod browser in game.
    The other games I enjoy that I see being mentioned here are in the same vein. BAR, Warzone 2100, OpenTTD. And the open mods based on the STALKER engine, like Anomaly. I love those.

    For me it’s CDDA, a quite realistic and deep apocalyptic survival game with very frequent updates(on the experimental branch)

        Thank you for this! I have already logged hours playing with my kid since seeing your suggestion. We have only played mineclone2 so far. I will look into veloren next.

    Beyond All Reason is AMAZING. I can’t say enough about it. Its my favourite game, and totally annihilates (!) the competition.

    Though I guess the competition is pretty small for large scale RTS. Maybe:

    • Total Annihilation
    • Supreme Commander
    • Ashes of the Singularity
    • Sins of the Solar Empire (sorta)

    BAR has fixed all the UI/UX problem, scales well, has a big community, is free, fun, and super deep and complex.

    Teeworlds. There are some great community made modes for it like FNG and DDrace. Be sure to download it from ddnet.tw to access to extra features created by the community.

      I didn’t know DDrace was open source, that’s cool. It’s a really cool game highly recommend it!

    Cataclysm Dark Days Ahead has been mentioned so I’ll add OpenMW to the thread. It’s a open source engine rewrite of Morrowind and requires the base game to run Morrowind but it has the potential to be used to create new games and the devs are looking to expand it to allow the creation of ARPGs as well.

    Another worthy mention is Endless Sky, it’s an open source game inspired by the classic space trading and combat game Escape Velocity.

    Mindustry is an awesome strategy game that combines Factorio with tower defense.

    Sonic Robo Blast 2 Kart (ridiculous name I know) is one of the most underrated games ever. It’s a super polished, high quality Kart game with an insane amount of mods and maps. The online isn’t that populated but the singleplayer time trial is TONS of fun. If you like hunting for medals, it can be a pretty deep rabbit hole. There’s a sequel in development but no release date.

    GzDoom is the most popular Doom source port and there’s a practically infinite amount of user generated content. If you don’t know where to start I highly recommend Doom: The Golden Souls Remastered and Castlevania: Simon’s Destiny. They’re good enough to be premium games.
