Game Recommendations (midwest.social)

I’m looking for recommendations on high quality open source games to try. Some of my favorite games I’ve played recently are Factorio, Kerbal Space Program, and Outer Wilds, but I’m willing to try many kinds of games (besides FPS).

My favourites are:

  • Endless Sky (2D space sim, singleplayer)
  • FlightGear (3D flight sim, singleplayer and multiplayer)
  • OpenTTD (transport management game, singleplayer and multiplayer)
  • Torcs (racing game, singleplayer)

Each of these are quite polished (especially for open source games!), widely packaged, not too complicated to start playing (except perhaps FlightGear) and have been around for a long time. Endless Sky, FlightGear and OpenTTD have quite active development, while Torcs is much quieter nowadays (although there is an actively developed fork called Speed Dreams which is awesome, just not widely packaged yet).

I've been meaning to try out FreeOrion and Minetest for a while now, looking forward to seeing what else pops up on the thread!
