Favorite Games

Below I gathered lists of games in two types: FOSS (free and open source) and commecial.

🎮FOSS Games

The FOSS term means not only no cost, but also Freedom, so:
– ability to learn, mod, fork, change or develop, copy, redistribute it – as much as you like or can (following License).
This not only deserves an own category but also needs to be above the commercial type, as it serves humanity, not companies’ profits.

Videos from few FOSS games are in my FOSS Games Playlists.
In below list I gather most genres and most notable games in each (IMO biggest in bold). There are many games here which I didn’t play.
For all games I am also adding link to its sources repository (repo).
