What are some great open source games? (programming.dev)

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)

OpenRCT (not totally free but a damn impressive project nonetheless)

OpenRCT is free iirc! You can just get the RCT2 demo for the assets OpenRCT needs

Which of these are available on Android?

I have F-droid, and Ive installed Mindustry and Open Transport Tycoon Deluxe.

Mindustry is great for wasting time.

Battle For Wesnoth is on android, the controls are kinda wonky but it's not bad.

Taisei Project for Touhou and other 2D bullet-hell shooter fans (I recommend installing it instead of playing online).

ClassicUO is a nice open source client for Ultima Online. Need to have the game assets.
