    Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup for me. A classic roguelike with active community and regular updates as well as several forks. It also has a good amount of playable races. From classics like elfs or orcs and dwarves (RIP Mountain Dwarves you were too good for this game) to funky races like Vine Stalkers (sentient parasitic plants) and Armataurs (centaurs but with armadillo parts instead the horse ones) to cats and octopuses.

    And the gods you can worship in the game are also very diverse. How about a slime god? Or someone who wants you to wear as much cursed equipment as possible in exchange for knowledge? Or maybe the one who wants everything to move veeery slooow and rewards you for killing mobs that are faster than you?

    Mindustry is an awesome strategy game that combines Factorio with tower defense.

    Sonic Robo Blast 2 Kart (ridiculous name I know) is one of the most underrated games ever. It’s a super polished, high quality Kart game with an insane amount of mods and maps. The online isn’t that populated but the singleplayer time trial is TONS of fun. If you like hunting for medals, it can be a pretty deep rabbit hole. There’s a sequel in development but no release date.

    GzDoom is the most popular Doom source port and there’s a practically infinite amount of user generated content. If you don’t know where to start I highly recommend Doom: The Golden Souls Remastered and Castlevania: Simon’s Destiny. They’re good enough to be premium games.

    Cataclysm DDA Is THE open world zombie survival experience. So long as you like obtuse roguelikes with nearly no graphics.

    Although Im obviously biased what with being a dev and all.

        Thank you for this! I have already logged hours playing with my kid since seeing your suggestion. We have only played mineclone2 so far. I will look into veloren next.

    Battle for Wesnoth is a personal favorite of mine that I haven’t seen mentioned elsewhere in the thread. It’s a pixel art, hex-grid turn based strategy game with fantasy armies. It’s mixed with mild RPG elements, and there’s tons and tons of campaigns and fanmade content accessible directly through a mod browser in game.
    The other games I enjoy that I see being mentioned here are in the same vein. BAR, Warzone 2100, OpenTTD. And the open mods based on the STALKER engine, like Anomaly. I love those.

    I haven’t seen any incremental games get posted. They aren’t exactly traditional games, but so many of them are open source like Antimatter Dimensions or Synergism. Bitburner is a unique one as an incremental hacking sim, since it relies on actual scripting to grow and automate tasks.

    Teeworlds. There are some great community made modes for it like FNG and DDrace. Be sure to download it from ddnet.tw to access to extra features created by the community.

      I didn’t know DDrace was open source, that’s cool. It’s a really cool game highly recommend it!

    Shapez is a fairly relaxing factory game. Pretty minimalistic style but easy to lose tons of time to if you aren’t careful.

    For me it’s CDDA, a quite realistic and deep apocalyptic survival game with very frequent updates(on the experimental branch)
