Ive been playing zero-k recently, and wondering what other great open source video games are out there?

Veloren is based on Cube World and it's an RPG with server builds and everything
-
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
-
Gonna try it!

Unciv if you enjoy sacrificing hours of your life :)
-
Are we talking about serious business civ 2 style, or something more relax like the 5th one ?
-
I believe it's based on Civ4 by default but can be modded to be more like 3 or 5

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

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

I liked oolite and doomrl .
-
Havent seen endless sky mentioned here, it is an old school space trader sim (think scape velocity or a 2d freelancer)
-
Ive been playing a lot of MineClone2 which is a modpack for Minetest!
-

And I can't remember right now the stealth game I used to play, it was the dark something, gonna search it later.

Amnesia: The Dark Descent and Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs got open sourced if that counts.

Holy f— really? I used to love Amnesia back in the day. This is such a strange and unexpected, but really cool news!

- Xonotic is a great old school, Quake style FPS with an active community
- 0 A.D. is a pretty polished historical RTS
- The Battle for Wesnoth is a classic turn based strategy
- OpenRA is an open implementation of the Red Alert engine that's got an active community
- Openhv is an OpenRA based sci-fi RTS
-
Similar to OpenRA, OpenMW is also an open recreation of the engine for The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind
-
Nice!
