There was some interest in the previous discussion topic, there were some interesting replies, and I heard about some games I did not know about.
So I am doing another one. This time it is about open-source games. Do you play any? Do you have a favorite game?
I often play open-source games and enjoy a few. Freeciv and SuperTux, but I think I enjoy SuperTuxKart the most. It is a Mario Kart clone done very well, it has many courses and characters. All characters are mascots for open-source projects. And you can download additional courses and characters. Also, it supports online multiplayer. So what do you enjoy?

What Dark Scrolls does give you is dark fantasy, lightly absurd tone, and occasional self-awareness. The kind of world where a merchant might be three geese in a trench coat and nobody questions it. That tonal looseness does more heavy lifting than a dozen exposition dumps ever could.

One of the reviews on Steam:

Day 1. Already obsessed. Send help!!!

Look, I'm not going to pretend I knew what I was doing for the first hour. Riftborne threw me into a terminal-based space empire and basically said "figure it out." And you know what? That's the best thing about it. Every time something clicked - a trade route, a raid, a spy mission — it felt amazing because I actually worked it out myself. No hand-holding. Just pure "wait, I think I get it now" energy.

The Discord community is half the fun right now. Everyone's in the same boat, piecing things together, sharing discoveries, hyping each other up. It's got that rare early-game buzz where the whole playerbase is exploring something new together.

And the dev? Absolute legend. Active in the community, great to chat with, and was pushing out fixes on the spot during launch day. That's the kind of passion that tells you this game is going somewhere.

It just launched and it's brilliant! If you like deep strategy games and enjoy actually thinking, buy it!
