Wesnoth is one of those games where once you start playing, you fall into a time warp and lose hours before you know what happened.

Cool. The map reminds me of Heroes of Might and Magic

Minetest and Mindustry are two of my favourites. It’s a bit complicated to find a good combination of Minetest mods though.

+1 for Minetest both client and server too; we run one locally for the kiddos :)

Same with Supertux which is a Linux Super Mario alternative.

Also the level editor isn’t super complex so it can be used as a Mario maker alternative

I can also recommend Beyond all Reason. If you ever played Supreme Commander, this game is like a sequel. It also has an active YouTube streaming community with tutorials and ingame are some scenarios to teach you about the various units and strategies.

Beyond All Reason is really cool! Had a lot of fun with it wrestling with the AI and teaming up with my friends.

It’s scratching that Starcraft itch while I tap my fingers waiting for Microsoft to kick Bobby Kotick out of Activision-Blizzard lol.
