Unciv! Remake of civV for desktop and Android.

I'm surprised to not see Flare RPG mentioned. It's nothing groundbreaking on its own, but it's actually got two nicely fleshed out campaigns, and tooling for people to make new ones. It's a nice, fun, FOSS single-player RPG, and it's great if you want that old fashioned Diablo feel.

Another vote for Endless Sky here as well, it's just excellent, and surprisingly expansive.

Endgame: Singularity is a fun (and sometimes very frustrating) small strategy game worth checking out.

The Dark Mod is basically Thief but really well done with a solid amount of (fan) missions to choose from. Speaking of I should play some of it again.

Surprised it's not mentioned here, but Bzflag.

Super fun tank shooter game that doesn't take much to run, and reminds me of a cross between the very old bolo game and Mario kart's battle mode.

OpenTTD is a great open source clone of the transport tycoon game. And boohu is an awesome ASCII coffeebreak roguelike.

There are a few open source game projects I follow. I suppose the most famous one is the Freespace 2 source code project. Although it didn't start open source, the original devs open-sourced it later. It has great support, and a great modding launcher called Knossos. To play the game, even with the source code, you either need the original disks or a copy of the installer from GoG, but it's really cheap. Getting it working on Windows is pretty easy, but Linux is only slightly more complicated. (Fortunately, there's a new launcher that makes it way easier).

If you're interested, let me know.

It's old but I always really liked WARSAW it was/is a quake3 port but with more cartoony outline graphics similar to Borderlands style.

If you're into strategy games, OpenTTD! https://www.openttd.org/

It's an open-sourced Transport Tycoon Deluxe, and it never gets old for me!

Technically not the whole game, but Smash Remix is an open source rom hack of the original Super Smash Bros. for the Nintendo 64. It's been a blast from the past and I'm enjoying the hell out of it.
I also love the fact that a lot of N64 emulators are open source too, like Mupen64 or simple64

Oh~ this game looks like someone was really disappoined by how cube worlds dev killed the release on steam i guess. Thanks for that, i will check it out. tl;dr Game was gutted on steam release but so much more was already done, promised and/or teased.

Does City of Heroes count? It was closed source but was opened...

Pokemon Auto Chess. Literally what the name implies, a Pokemon auto battler game. Honestly it's really well-polished for something only a couple of people are working on (aside from commissioned sprite artists) and has an active community to go with it.

Only one that comes to mind is Lugaru. The creator had this weird legal battle where someone stole the game, ported it to iOS, and the thief claimed because it was open source he was allowed to sell it.

Thanks for the Veloren recommendation, I liked Cube World, it just didn't work out well.

Tremulous - The game was so fun back then (like 10 years ago ?) I guess it's a dead game now.

I've had a ton of fun in Red Eclipse over the years.
