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

OpenTTD is certainly a good open-source game

[–] christophski 2 points 2 years ago

So incredibly addictive

[–] neytjs@lemmy.ml 4 points 2 years ago

0 A.D., Beyond All Reason, SuperTuxKart, and The Dark Mod are the four FOSS gaming projects that I find to be most impressive.

[–] JRepin@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 years ago

My top 3 best would be Widelands, Battle for Wesnoth and FreeOrion. But the ones that I play most of the time ae the simple quick games from KDE Games collection :)

[–] poVoq@slrpnk.net 2 points 2 years ago

We have a OpenSourceGames community.

I think Xonotic and Unvanquished are pretty cool. Mindustry is very popular. Unciv and Thrive are probably lesser known but also very cool.

Cataclysm: Dark Days Ahead. Persistent procedural open world zombie survival sandbox roguelike, and the inspiration for Project Zomboid. SsethTzeentach did a review/ primer a few years ago, though the game changed quite a bit since then.

I can’t figure out if there’s a way to bookmark threads in Lemmy. So I’m gonna be that guy and leave a comment so I can come back to this thread later to install all these 😄

You can save this thread if you mean that

That is what I meant. Now I see the star button but I swear it wasn't showing for me on mobile before. Thanks!

[–] Vitaly 1 points 2 years ago

While the mobile version isn't flawless, the development is going very well. If you encounter any issues, feel free to open an issue on their GitHub repository, and they will try to fix it

0ad Is both good looking, modern and fun. I would also second wesnoth.

[–] lebout2canap@lemmy.tedomum.net 2 points 2 years ago

Apart from those already mentioned, I am thinking of Minetest, Hedgewars or The Dark Mod. On the retrogaming side, there is also OpenTTD. They're not really open source games because you need the original game data, but I've spent quite a bit of time on OpenRCT2, and regularly run ScummVM.

Openra & Supertuxkart :)

[–] radicalpikachu@vlemmy.net 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

I'm not sure if it's exactly FOSS in the conventional sense but Daggerfall Unity and OpenMW are good shouts for those Elder Scrolls fans out here.

[–] mr_MADAFAKA@lemmy.fmhy.ml 1 points 2 years ago

I like playing Minetest (mineclone) sometimes

[–] AdminWorker@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Open sky is pretty nice.

MIndustry is open source and free if you want to play single player.

Battle for wesnoth is pretty great!

[–] copacetic@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 2 years ago

Purely open-source (no non-free data), then Widelands might be what he spent the most time on.

[–] Lonsfor@c.im 1 points 2 years ago

@Vitaly Don't sleep on SRB2Kart best kart racer

https://hyuu.cc/

[–] 0xCAFE@feddit.de 1 points 2 years ago

I love Mindustry. It's a Factorio-like builder/defence game with stronger emphasis on the RTS/battle aspect.

[–] KindaABigDyl@programming.dev 1 points 2 years ago

Super Tux Kart

Better than Mario Kart

[–] boo@beehaw.org 1 points 2 years ago
[–] bigmanjezza@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Open spades is an underrated gem if you like multiplayer fps. It's like the old ace of spades beta with the 3 weapons, and destructible voxel terrain.

[–] Vitaly 1 points 2 years ago

Didn't hear about that game but looks very nice on screenshots

[–] pkru@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 years ago

Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup if you're into rogue-likes with a lot of depth, replayability and a healthy community.
