I personally love Naev and Mindustry

Go / Baduk.
However the white stones are severely overpowered, and the devs refuse to do a rebalance since around the last 4000 years!
But they have done a rebalance, several times. It’s called Komi.
Well, have you played recently? The white stones are still way overpowered! (I hope you notice the invisible sarcasm tag, alluding to the fact that stronger players usually play as white)
Doom, or, gzdoom! You can use it to play the original Doom 1 and 2 games with modern mouse and keyboard controls on HD displays. And there’s an endless number of fan made level packs to try.
As for open source AND free / open resources, there’s Freedoom 1 and 2. I occasionally play them, they’re fun, but a little lacking in stage design.

No thanks I’ll stick to my John Deere tractor drm to run it
I play DDay Normandy, a quake 2 mod
OpenRA d2k
Minetest
Veloren
Fun games
Unciv is a Civ 5 remake with simplified graphics. Its a lot of fun but the AI is brutal.
Tried this just couldn’t get past the tiles I’m probably spoiled from playing civ on pc but yeah I tried quite a few tilesets and nothing worked for me
I suspect the actual game is probably better than the official ones but I just couldn’t get past the graphics.
I play king and lose 9/10 times. still great
CDDA probably. One of the more comprehensive zombie survival experiences
What’s the full title?
Cataclysm: Dark Days Ahead. Zombie survival roguelike, forked from the original cataclysm by whales. Also check out Cataclysm: Bright Nights which is a fork of CDDA that makes it more gamey like the original, and less like you’re playing 2d arma.
Cataclysm dark days ahead
Oh my bad, I forgot to put it in, looks like it’s already got a reply though.
My favorite thing is when I come back after a hiatus and my favorite strat’s been nerfed and I get to struggle to survive like its my first time playing again. I remember when you could make a silent burst fire BB gun that shredded anything that didn’t have armor, and mount them to your deathmobile en masse to just drive through cities untouched by the horde. The Radio Activated Noise Emitter + Caltrops strat’s still good as ever, though the crafting requirements are a lot more complex since the last time I played.
There are a lot of great responses on here! I’ve been playing (at least until my steam deck shit the bed two days ago) around with OpenRA and Minetest.
The responses have been amazing, will certainly be coming back to this thread whenever I want to find a new game
Endless sky. You start off with a single spaceship and fly around the galaxy trading, fighting pirates, and buying/capturing more ships. The devs are still regularly adding new content too.
I love this game too, I was deeply into all three of the Escape velocity games as a kid and Endless Sky scratches that itch perfectly
I used to spend hours on this before playing Naev (which is also meant to be like the Escape Velocity series, infact was originally a acronym: Not Another Escape Velocity).
Have they added any new campaigns lately? Really want to finish the Wanderer campaign, but I’m not sure anyone has picked it up yet after the original developer had to step back.
They’ve been working on the Hai storyline a lot, and last time I played there was a lot more in Coalition space.
Endless Sky is amazing. I’ve put so many hours into it. It’s available on Steam or as an AppImage from https://endless-sky.github.io
CorsixTH is a cool project if you liked Theme Hospital back in the day:
mindustry. I’ve kinda quit playing games. But still play mindustry on my ipad. :)
Super Tux and Super Tux Kart
One of my favorites recently has been playing MineClone2 with some extra mods (can’t remember which) through Minetest.
I’ve been boycotting minecraft since the news of chat reporting potentially coming to Java and MineClone2 is such a good replacement. Biggest gripe I have is not being able to get any of the mods that add sprint to work. Pretty much the only feature not available in MineClone2 (as far as I’m aware) from minecraft that I actively miss.
i havent done anything with mineclone, but have messed with minetest, it’s pretty cool. Whats mineclone like?
Mineclone2 is pretty much a clone of Minecraft, like the name implies. It doesn’t have all the current features Minecraft has, but it tries to make itself appear like a clone by having the same features as the official game. It works good enough as a clone. Also, someone here once told me they added sprint in an old update, but I can’t get it to work if they did add it. So if you like sprinting around your world like I do, you might be out of luck.
In general it has the same things Minecraft has, but they’re plenty of updates behind the official game because (if I recall correctly) I’m pretty sure the people behind it want to make sure everything works before updating the game. Don’t recall if that’s true, so take it with a grain of salt.
I’d have to check about looking into which features they have since it’s been a while since I went into creative to check what they’ve added. I at least know they have the nether and end since there are achievements for them. Don’t know whether they have the end dragon fight, so going to the end might be a bust for anything besides end stone.
Mineclone2 has sprint since the “sprint update” long ago. You get it by pressing “E” (or the “use” key if you remapped it)
I’ll definitely have to look into that! That is an absolute game changer that will definitely make the game a lot more bearable for me.
Thanks for the info! I would have never figured that out on my own.
Edit:
Found it in the package manager. I definitely have that selective male blindness where I can look right at something and it won’t appear in my vision.
Is there any mod you know for making the world larger/infinite?
I was a big fan of just traveling in Minecraft and finding new areas along the way. But minetest space constrains seems not to fit that playstyle unless there’s a mod I don’t know of.
Have no clue. I don’t even know how far out MC2 allows you to go because I’ve never gone to the edges of the world before. Only thing I know about world limits is that you can go thousands of blocks down in just the base game Minetest comes with, which doesn’t apply to MC2.
Someone on lemmy a few months ago mentioned this rts beyond all reason. Since then I’ve easily put 100 hours in. The game is so dam fun.
Another great one is Osu
I just heard about it for the first time in this thread, I think I’m hooked, haven’t managed to beat the AI yet
I was introduced to BAR like 3 months ago and I still have no idea wtf I’m doing.
Only matches typically vary between these 3 experiences:
- Your teams seem evenly matched in skill, 3 people on each team still have no units to speak of 30 minutes in.
- One team has a true 20 openSkill player. They are consuming the other team’s players whole at the 18 minute mark.
- It has been 3 hours, your’s and your allies’ units are a river flowing forth from your bases. They clash with the sea of enemies in a flurry of dazzling sounds. The frontline has held exactly at the middle for the past hour.
It took me about 40 hours to go from Openskill 1 to os 2. I’m now os 5. I mainly play core front and just ball up tanks with a repairing station behind or I use my com to repair. Works great when it works but sometimes I get pushed before I have enough of a mass and then I’m useless and get crushed. It’s definitely a chaotic game
Some of the assets still come from the original game, but OpenRCT2 is wonderful.
Does DOOM count? It’s been officially open sourced recently, even though it was already treated as such for decades.Either way, I can’t stop playing it, there’s 30 years of user created content to go through.
Id Tech 1 (Doom) source has been available since 1997 under a restrictive license and under the GPL since 1999, so not “recently”. But yeah, that’s my answer. Original Doom.
That’s what I’d go with it. Came here to comment it, but I was beaten to it. There are so many great ways to play through it, as the modding community has made so much amazing stuff over the years.
Mine would be Thrive, not so much due to its current gameplay, though it is okay, but moreso due to an unwavering commitment to a vision. It has gone on for years and is essentially a scientifically close to accurate version of spore. They have almost finished the single cell stage and are working some on the transition to multicellular now as I understand it. I find it to be an impressive project as it started from the disappointment with spore and has evolved into something that I would genuinely suggest as a learning tool in middle school biology class.
That’s the amazing thing with most Open Source games. They aren’t restricted by budget - just how much free time people have and how many people are onboard with the vision
