I’m not knowledgeable of a lot of them, but had a lot of fun with Quake Brutalist Jam 3, a full conversion quake mod; and the streamer I saw playing them showcased a lot of other Doom / Quake mods spanning many genres.
One that seems very fun is called Dr Robotnik’s Ring Racers. Having little monitoring, it appeared to allow for racers like Senator Armstrong (Nanomachines, Jack!)
ATTENTION SEEKING ALL-CAPS EDIT!!!111 I can't believe I forgot this one, since it's one of my favorites. Gyakuten Live is a fangame based off the "Love Live" anime series, with gameplay off Ace Attorney. There are no deathly murders, but the mysteries get quite wrapped up with some complex sequences of events and conflicting motivations. 3 cases out, all for free. Uses original music, a whole lot of spritework, etc.
On the same vein, there's Occult Crime Police, which might not quite fit the topic since it's not a fangame of anything - but a wholly original mystery game set in the midwest, playing up a lot of X-Files paranormal mysteries.
Ring racers is soooo much fun! My wife and I played that game. I just wish it worked better on the Steam Deck! I could only get it working on PC and getthing the controllers working was a nightmare! But after a full day of messing with everything it was worth it.
So much polish on the game! https://www.kartkrew.org/
I saw there’s both a Windows and Flatpak release there. I’m curious which works better. If they’re Linux enthusiasts, they may have parity, but there’s also occasions where the Windows build gets more public attention and it’s better to just run that through Proton.
Ive done the flatpack on ubuntu/popos. it works. I havent seen any difference. Havent tried it on a non-linux os. Maybe its better with the controllers?
I may give it another go with proton/other oses thanks!
