    Cataclysm DDA Is THE open world zombie survival experience. So long as you like obtuse roguelikes with nearly no graphics.

    Although Im obviously biased what with being a dev and all.

    Battle for Wesnoth is a personal favorite of mine that I haven’t seen mentioned elsewhere in the thread. It’s a pixel art, hex-grid turn based strategy game with fantasy armies. It’s mixed with mild RPG elements, and there’s tons and tons of campaigns and fanmade content accessible directly through a mod browser in game.
    The other games I enjoy that I see being mentioned here are in the same vein. BAR, Warzone 2100, OpenTTD. And the open mods based on the STALKER engine, like Anomaly. I love those.

    Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup for me. A classic roguelike with active community and regular updates as well as several forks. It also has a good amount of playable races. From classics like elfs or orcs and dwarves (RIP Mountain Dwarves you were too good for this game) to funky races like Vine Stalkers (sentient parasitic plants) and Armataurs (centaurs but with armadillo parts instead the horse ones) to cats and octopuses.

    And the gods you can worship in the game are also very diverse. How about a slime god? Or someone who wants you to wear as much cursed equipment as possible in exchange for knowledge? Or maybe the one who wants everything to move veeery slooow and rewards you for killing mobs that are faster than you?

    CataclysmDDA is an amazing open source roguelike. Has a bunch of tilesets if you don’t like ASCII

        Thank you for this! I have already logged hours playing with my kid since seeing your suggestion. We have only played mineclone2 so far. I will look into veloren next.

          Nice to hear it! Mineclone is actually very good mod and you definitely should try veloren, good luck

    I haven’t seen any incremental games get posted. They aren’t exactly traditional games, but so many of them are open source like Antimatter Dimensions or Synergism. Bitburner is a unique one as an incremental hacking sim, since it relies on actual scripting to grow and automate tasks.

    Shapez is a fairly relaxing factory game. Pretty minimalistic style but easy to lose tons of time to if you aren’t careful.

    For me it’s CDDA, a quite realistic and deep apocalyptic survival game with very frequent updates(on the experimental branch)

    Classic roguelikes have the most longetivity for me. Crawl, Brogue, Nethack.

      ADOM was always my favourite, but Dungeon Crawl: Stone Soup is my go-to these days.

      Shattered Pixel Dungeon on android is also fantastic and has wonderful touch screen controls.

    OpenTTD is a great open source clone of the transport tycoon game. And boohu is an awesome ASCII coffeebreak roguelike.
