0 A.D.. It is even open source.
StarSector (whoops, not two words) https://fractalsoftworks.com/
Awesome game
Fantastic game! After playing for a lot of hours I realized there were some mods which made me play even more lol.
Btw, Sseth had a video on it https://youtu.be/acqpulP1hLo
That looks similar like Endless Sky
I think it’s the other way around, Starsector released in 2013
With a vibrant modding ecosystem!
I’ve been playing it non-stop for two weeks. It’s so good
Voices of the Void on Itch.io. it’s sort of like xfiles: the rpg. you live in a satellite field and you use old equipment to track suspicious signals from space and sell them off for upgrades and supply money. Things… happen. while you’re carrying out this peaceful existence. suspicious, freaky things. 🛸
it’s been out for a couple years now and it’s very far in development but they are saving the steam listing for a more full release.
edit: go into this game blind
Whoa that sounds really fun.
I wouldn’t call it one of the “best games” anymore… maybe not ever, but “Escape from Tarkov”.
While I’m digging my own grave here let me also mention “Star Citizen”.

Minecraft
Unciv is a civilization clone for mobile platforms and its great if those games are your thing
Shattered Pixel Dungeon - roguelike
Luanti (previously known as Minetest) - voxel builder
lichess - chess
Minecraft java edition, but that feels like cheating
There are a lot of cool free games playable on your browser made for game jams on itch.io
Old school RuneScape
True, but you have to play via standard client as far as I know, which sucks in my opinion. RuneLite is much, much better.
I wanna say it gives you the option to use RuneLite… But I’ve never done it through Steam so I can’t say for sure.
I haven’t played it in a long time, but I always enjoyed Super Tux Kart. It reminded me more of the Moorhuhn / Crazy Chicken Kart games than Mario Kart. In general, before Steam Proton made Gaming on Linux almost free of any hassle, I spent more time with free and open source games like Nethack or Battle for Wesnoth that are available in many Linux package managers.
With everything going on behind the scenes with development and add-ons, 100% can vouch for SuperTuxKart. On my desktop I have way too many add-ons for extra tracks and karts that it’s not even funny.
I wish STK was on Steam :(
Guild Wars 2
It normally is not a steam game. You can buy it through steam if you want, but you can buy it straight through the maker of the game. just search for Guild wars two on Google. That will show you the actual homepage for the game.

Just recently figured out Aux1 key is sprint, so VoxeLibre on Luanti has been much more playable for me to the point I can recommend it. Though Luanti in general is something I would suggest because they have some great games. I personally finished a short little puzzle like game called Eyeballs and it was pretty good.
Also, because I am very biased towards this game, Pokemon Uranium. Have to include it in my list of the best of the best. Same with Sonic Robo Blast 2 w/ the reveries mod.
Though if all of those don’t catch your fancy, there’s the still very WIP game open source SuperTux Advance is a lot of fun and in my opinion so much better than standard SuperTux. I absolutely approve it and list it as one of the best currently in its current incomplete state.
