fafff,

Great suggestions in this discussion! Rather than adding my favourites, I will add some resources that list more games.

  • Libregamewiki: it is really comprehensive (sometimes too much, including even not-so-good-games). They care about licencing and is is very easy to browse, top-notch for me.
  • Open source games: a more relaxed repository, with lots of material.
  • bobeff open source list: this is curated, which means that there are not so many games but each and every one is stable, good, maintained.
  • Arcane Cache: a fantastic blog with reviews of libre games — or more precisely, underground games, there is a lot of discussion on how gamedevving philosophy too. The reviews are always in-depth and allow you to experience the games on another level, and each game is a small jewel in its category. Strongly recommended!

Looks like some very useful sites there. Thank you

dandi8,

Colobot was made open source a while ago and is still great! The game assets (and original binaries) can also be downloaded for free from the dev's site.

A lot of good tips here, but you should have a look at Endless Sky! Really cool space game

wiki_me,

I liked oolite and doomrl .

naoseiquemsou,

I’m surprised that no one mentioned super tux kart yet

Havent seen endless sky mentioned here, it is an old school space trader sim (think scape velocity or a 2d freelancer)

laenurd,

Unciv is a decent Civilization clone

RavelsBolero,

Cataclysm: Dark Days Ahead, or if you like something a little less complex, Cataclysm: Bright Nights, are fantastic roguelike games. Proper traditional, turn based, tileset ones.

Imagine a mix of Fallout and The Walking Dead, that's what it's like. It's superb. The possibilities are endless

snoopa,

If you like Zero-K you’re going to love Beyond All Reason

tuxed,

For mobile games there is Shattered Pixel Dungeon, great time sink

Forge, a Magic: The Gathering rules engine available both for Windows and Android. Various formats, good AI, offline and online play, and now even has a Shandalar-like mode.

Similar to OpenRA, OpenMW is also an open recreation of the engine for The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind

Nice!

I spent so many hours on wesnoth…

That one is perhaps the most polished open source game out there.

wmassingham,

I used to play Sauerbraten, a Quake-like FPS, way back in the day. Doesn't look like it's very active any more.

Karmmah,

Oh, that's a name I haven't heard in a long time. I also used to play that years ago and I think even spent some time trying to create some maps.

bionicjoey,

0 AD is a solid AOE2 clone
