I'm usually a fan of open source games but rarely do they manage to be actually great. People like giving recommendations like Super Tux Kart that haven't aged well and don't play well. What are some open source games that are legitimately good that I've missed?

My favorites are:

Mindustry

Sonic Robo Blast 2 Kart

Powder Toy

GZDoom (and all the amazing mods for it)

Veloren (even though it's still in alpha)

Yes*

It's got all the cards with art, a good deck builder, and it supports multiple game modes, including Commander. It's also got bot players that are good to test decks against and it forces game rules, so it's good for learning.

*I've never gotten the multiplayer to work. My friends use Cockatrice for that. (Also FOSS) Cockatrice is clunkier and much more manual to use but, the multiplayer works.
