If you havent played this already, you are in for a treat:
-
- Battle for Wesnoth is one of my favorite turn-based strategy games.
- Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup makes a whole day disappear when I play it.
- Tales of Maj'Eyal is another, slightly more graphically rich roguelike. I haven't played it too much, but it seems like there's quite a lot of content to it.
- The Ur-Quan Masters... I don't even know how to categorize it. It's tough as nails, but the art style is rich, and the worldbuilding draws you in.
Any others I would have mentioned are already in other comments.

Oh damn! I hadn't heard of Tales of Maj'Eyal. That looks awesome, and it's available on Linux.
-
- Beyond All Reason (Supreme Commander, Total Annihilation clone)
- Warzone 2100
- Liero
- Hedgewars (Worms clone)
- OpenTTD (especially JGRPP fork)
- GZDoom / Woof / DSDA and other DOOM 1 and 2 source ports
And some that require original assets:
- OpenMW (The Elder Scroll: Morrowind engine replacement)
- OpenXcom (especially OXCE and Brutal-OXCE forks, they all have great mods, like XCom Files, Harmony, XPiratez)
Also, check this open source or source available games list: https://osgameclones.com/

My personal top 4 favorites, in no particular order, are:
- SuperTuxKart
- SuperTuxAdvance ( has a windows download and I'm not smart enough to figure out how to set up and run a version for Linux outside of using WINE or Proton and is pretty WIP )
- Luanti ( specifically VoxeLibre )
- Mindustry ( liked it enough to buy it on Steam to.support the devs )
I know OP already mentioned #3, but you know.
Also, if we could include things like OpenGOAL ( which relies on having files from the Jak and Daxter games ), I'd include that since I just got roughly back to where I left off on Jak II before I lost my memory card. Though that's cheating since it relies on copyrighted proprietary files.
-
I've been playing so much Mindustry this Summer. I didn't even realize it was open source when I bought it but that was a fun fact to find out.
-
OpenRCT2 is really great, if you count that
-
OpenRCT2 is great (and so is OpenXCom), but I prefer OpenTTD because you don't need the original game.
-
-
space station 14 and Mindustry are both excellent games.
-
I've been wanting to get into SS14, but I don't know if anyone else would play with me.
-
-
CDDA and Veloren are some that I have played lately.
-
My favorite open source game is by far Ring Racers
-
OpenTTD
-
Bitburner
It's a programming idle/incremental game. Has a bit of a learning curve (not bad if you already know how to code) but it is my favorite programming game. It scratches so many itches and it really invites players to explore. There are even secret achievements you can only get by messing with the source code and rebuilding it!

-
Nethack by an astronomic margin.
-
https://pathos.azurewebsites.net/
Pathos is a really good one as well.
-
Try stratagus and devilutionx and gltron/armagetron and unciv
-
osu

Pekka Kana 2

My favorites:
I keep wanting to get into Pioneers / FreeCol, but it just doesn't work for me. I know a lot of people love TuxKart and Rigs of Rods, but I can't jive with driving games. And I feel that there need to be honorable mentions to Nethack, Dwarf Fortress, and Liberal Crime Squad.
...all of them excellent. Dwarf Fortress, while being the bee's knees, is not open source.
Also try out Cataclysm: DDA. It's open source, and possibly approaches Dwarf Fortress in scope and fun.
Woah, thanks for the list of games! I basically knew only about Tux Kart.
You're welcome! There's a lot of great FOSS games - and I have to admit that having started from Windows, most of my knowledge originated from PortableApps.com. The games they list there are mostly FOSS, so it's a decent launchpad into the world of FOSS gaming.
While YGO Omega is great, only some components are open source and so not FOSS. It also runs on Unity, that is not FOSS
Shattered Pixel Dungeon is FOSS? I've never seen a paid FOSS app
Shattered is a fork. The original Pixel Dungeon has a permissive license and allows selling modifications with source available
you can download it from github for free - missing the PC improvements like more quickslots and a larger inventory screen that can stay open while dungeoneering, but it's the full game: https://github.com/00-Evan/shattered-pixel-dungeon/releases
specifically those improvements are for the paid steam release.
I've seen some apps free on F-droid and paid in Play Store. Best of both worlds!
Here's an example: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=at.bitfire.davdroid
