FLOSS games that are solid:
Shattered Pixel Dungeon
Luanti (aka Minetest)
sgt-puzzles
SuperTuxKart is a cool one
Sure is! It's had so much work done since the early days.
The single player campaign is huge and hilarious. Very satisfying to complete.
Glaring omission: OpenTTD, still in contention for the greatest train (and other transport) game ever made.
Looks so good. I haven't tried city-sims in 30yrs.
I just watched this drokkin excellent overview of what is possible in OpenTTD. Very polished.
I am sure it can be played as a serious endeavor too.
Xonotic
I tried for a day or 2 to get strafe-running, could not do it.
Would love to play Xonotic though, it has lots of old-school FPS flavour.
Strafing and moving mouse will make you turn faster, strafing with forward and moving mouse will accelerate you faster. You can see it on strafing bar.
Also read the guide: https://xonotic.org/guide/#bunny-hopping
And I recommend you to join xonotic-relax.ru discord server. It is most active xonotic community, and we do speak English when needed.
This has been the only version of the game I've ever gotten close to beating. For that reason alone it's worth mentioning.
Yes, I also tried the original Pixel Dungeon one time. Crazy hard mode.
For tips, hide behind doors for as many strikes as possible.
Try to enhance a Glaive with speed, from the Stone of Augmentation(stay with staff for mage). Then upgrade and add a glyph. Plate armour up to +4-6.
I've definitely 'abused' the hell out of that. But at a certain point with the original, it seems like all the little tricks I learned hit an upper limit to their usefulness.
The original was just brutal.
I'll definitely have to give that a try next time.
