Well, ever since the whole thing where macrohard/mojangles/whichever decided “you know what minecraft needs? CLIENT SIDE CHAT SCANNING AND CENSORSHIP!” I decided to switch over to Minetest and have never looked back.
I don’t mind big servers having censorship because that’s their deal and they can use whatever chat filters/plug-ins they want, but do we really need singleplayer to be censored? Or our chat messages to be scanned for things mc deem inappropriate? Absolutely not!
Any dev’s online game that does not want to support Linux in their AC for whatever reason, even if it is a matter of just flipping a goddam switch.
Online multiplayer and soulslike games
More pvp souls for me weee
All multiplayer games for over a decade
People are assholes and I just wanna have fun
online games.
Anything from EA, Microsoft, or Ubisoft.
Remember when all three of these companies used to be great 20 years ago? Such a shame how far they’ve fallen.
I’m playing Beyond Good & Evil on GameCube for the first time, and this game is an absolute gem. Makes me miss how great Ubisoft used to be. They started turning into hostile trash somewhere around ten years ago.
Microsoft was always cold blooded, you probably just weren’t aware of it. Microsoft lost an anti-trust case and was almost broken up in 1998 for its practices, but appealed and came to an agreement with the government.
Add Sony too
CoD, overwatch, sports games, free to play games, casino games.
Anything Nintendo. Fuck Nintendo.
Anything with a subscription is a no for me. I think subscription games are less popular than they used to be, but I never played WoW because paying every month seemed excessive to me.
Most shooters. Especially like CoD. Not interested. I enjoy the original doom, but that’s cartoony violence fighting demons. Some of the far cry games I’ve enjoyed, with some reservations.
Almost all free to play games. They don’t feel like an honest deal most of the time. Like, Warframe was good somehow. But a lot of them feel predatory or annoying.
Purely pvp games. No mobas or battle royales for me. I don’t want to deal with other people like that. A little pvp in a game, like dark souls, is fine. But I’m not looking for that to he the main thing, typically.
Moba, mmorpg, and COD
Same. Until valve made deadlock. Damn you valve
Games made by Bethesda, EA, Ubisoft, or Paradox.
Roguelikes. The infinite replayability and computer generated design are fatiguing to me. Seems like most of the reasons why people like them are the exact reasons I don’t. 🤷♂️
For me it’s the fact that most of them aren’t actually able to be beaten on any given run.
This. I’m OK with permadeath (and in game), but when a game is setup in such a way that most playthroughs just aren’t winnable, even by someone with perfect knowledge, I hate them.
Multiplayer anything, dating sims, roguelikes. I will play single player games that offer multiplayer but never the multiplayer part. Oh and gatcha games, waifu collectors, etc. and anything p2w. Fuck that noise.
What’s wrong with rougelikes in your opinion? I don’t usually seek them out, but for a good while I was super addicted to Binding of Isaac. I think the gameplay loop is pretty fun.
The rest of your comment I agree with wholeheartedly.
These days damn near anything that costs more than 30. Because the extra money isn’t enough, they want to sell you $5000 in hats, too.
Closed-source games.
Which open source games do you play?
I would rate all of these, as worth a try:
Shattered Pixel Dungeon
Cube2:Sauerbraten
SGT-Puzzles
Andor’s Trail
AssaultCube
Minetest
Neverball/Neverputt
PowderToy
0ad
Fillets-ng
Anuto TD
Xmoto/Bloboats
Flightgear
Kobo Deluxe
Enigma (oxyd)
LiquidWar5
H-Craft Championship
Numpty Physics
Wesnoth
The Dark mod
Have completed SuperTuxKart, BlobWars 1&2, Flare, Frozen Bubble, Hex-a-Hop, Holotz’s Castle, SearchAndRescue II, Alex the Alligator, Project:Starfighter, Stormbaan Coureur, Trigger, etc
Used to enjoy Red Eclipse1.6, before it was retired.
I’m looking for the name of a FLOSS Quake1-mod, puzzle game, that was about placing gravity points to curve a stream of particles around the level, and eventually into the goal target. (May have used irrlicht) If anyone knows the name of this one, please let me know, it is my white-whale of games.
Can find details about most of the above games here:

FLOSS gaming is excellent, thanks to all these devs and asset creators.
Thanks, saving the comment for a deep dive later.
I’d also recommend BZFlag, Xonotic, OpenClonk, and OpenLieroX. A surprising number of people are still playing BZFlag. Xonotic has some of the most fun weapon mechanics I’ve seen in an arena shooter and pretty much all of them can be used for movement shenanigans in different ways. OpenLieroX has a wealth of fun mods to mess around with.
Would you count GZDoom and games that use its engine? Due to its license, devs of even commercial games made with it have to publish source code if they modify the engine and the very nature of the iwad files it uses means that all of iwad’s game code (I guess except compiled ACS scripts, which people don’t use as much anymore) is in plain text.
Also I kinda still enjoy Red Eclipse 2.0 even if I found the balance and gameplay of 1.6 better and you can kinda mess around with the weapon variables until it does feel the same. Used to enjoy doing that a lot with 1.6, even doing stuff like turning the shotgun into a chaingun.
Why do you recommend liquid war 5 over 6?
IIRC, I prefer the physics and AI in LiquidWar 5.
LW6 may have caught up in the last 10 years, I’ve not tried it in a while.
Probably try both and see what you like.
I would recommend Unciv. It’s a Civ5 clone that is surprisingly feature filled. Written in Java so you can play on desktop or Android.
There is also FreeCiv but it tries to clone Civ2 which has dated mechanics by todays standards (but a lot of fans still I guess).
That’s a secret
