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)

    Games rarely work with an open source business model, so that’s why there aren’t any really great ones.

      Tell me you have no clue about video games without telling me you have no clue about video games.

        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
