Looking for FOSS Games (feddit.uk)

Hey there,

I enjoy Linux gaming via WINE/Proton, but I often wonder about Linux-native FOSS games. You often see brilliant titles like 0AD and Mindustry mentioned, but there are also some unspoken gems in the "genre" like Minetest and it makes me wonder what other FOSS games are out there, that people just don't talk about much? I'm looking to discover and play more of these titles.

Language on the broad scope doesn’t matter, but something with a niche—especially not another object-oriented framework as dominates video games but less so elsewhere in the last decade where encapsulation & state have been seen more as anti-patterns in most cases—can make it either a better tool for the job or at least a curiousity on how to construct a full application of the type in said language—which helps fans of this or adjacent languages have a repository of ideas to draw upon.
