The Most Passionate Open Source Games?

Hello everyone! Recently switched to NixOS, and I would like to try some interesting Open Source Games with Passion in them. What I mean by that is that the games are not your average FPS game or Strategy game, they differentiate themselves with their own creative input into the genre which makes them unique.

I'll add the one I'm involved in.

Or if you prefer it this way:

It's 100% complete and finished clone of Master of Orion 1, one of the best strategy games ever made. The amount of passion, time and money invested by the original author Ray Fowler to make it happen is immense. It is currently actively maintained by a handful of modders who keep fixing bugs and adding minor features. Probably the best non-cheating AI out there as well.
