If you’re into retro tactics games (think Final Fantasy Tactics Advance), Battle for Wesnoth!

Is it really? Damn…
PS: Not fair, it’s apple store…
had no idea you liked sim games? what others do you play… ive got quite a few
If you’re into rhythm games, this one is by far my favorite. You can play all the way through the main storyline for free. There are tons of extra songs you can buy, and an expansion as well for only $2.99 (basically just re-playing through the story but with newer and more difficult songs).
The open Source space sim endless sky. its kind of like Elite/the X series but in 2D
Its also on Steam

Endless Sky is definitely a phenomenal game. I don’t have anything to add to the thread, but have to +1 this game.

Starcraft. It’s old as hell at this point but it’s still a lot of fun for those that like RTS.

reminds me of an old flash game I played whe nI was little, Star trek dark mirror, interesting game type 
Well over 1200 hours in Unturned. I’ve been playing it on and off for several years now. For what is essentially a one man show, it’s one of the best free games on Steam that has worked natively in Linux since I left Windows over 5 years ago. There are lots of ways to play and tons of mods out there as well. Like most zombie survival games today, once you get the feel for the survival part you can then expand on crafting and exploring. Plus the simplistic look can be a bit more kid friendly with things like rag dolls and blood turned off. My nephew loves spawning in jets and blowing things up.
The guy has also been working on a new version using Unreal engine instead of Unity. No idea if it too will be free, but his blog has a bunch of videos on the progress if anyone is interested -

They already came up in the thread, but Path of Exile and Warframe are great examples of non-predatory F2P games.
There’s also Neverwinter, Team Fortress 2, League of Legends, Star Trek Online, Guild Wars 2, EVE Online, and of course Fortnite.
Also Apex Legends, although there’s some talk about it being predatory in its DLCs lately.
I forgot one. It’s an oldie but still lots of players - Runescape. I had a problem trying to install it via their instructions (dependency hell in Lubuntu 19.04) and found out it has a Snap. It’s the only time I’ve had a Snap actually seem better than the native install!

If you’re talking about Old School Runescape, i highly recommend the Runelite client. They fully support Linux, and the standard package for their stable release is an appimage with all dependencies included, so you can just download and go, no problems. Also, they’re open source and are very open to new contributors if you get an itch to work on FOSS.
That being said… dang that game is so fricken addictive lol. I have sunk far too many hours into it.
OPENRA(balanced, reworked C&C ORIGINALS + Native linux) [C&C ORIGINALS became freeware several years ago]
Renegade X [Fan made sequel to C&C Renegade]
GTA and GTA2 [became freeware several years ago]

Are we counting in mobile games, cause then the list gets really f*ing long…
Remember, you must own Red Alert 2 & Yuri’s Revenge in order to play online CnCNet’s free server.
Note, Yuri’s Revenge must be installed to play on CnCNet’s Free Server. The game is not included in this download. EA Games have not released Yuri’s Revenge as Freeware. You can buy a digital copy of all Command & Conquer games from the EA Origin Store
Red alert 2 is not free ware, just the server software for them is.
Same for Dune 2000
Remember, you must own Dune 2000 in order to play online CnCNet’s free server.
Renegade is that same
Download & Install Renegade
You can now buy a digital copy of all 12 Command & Conquer games from the EA Origin Store. If you have Renegade already, skip this step.
Only C&C, Red Alert and Tiberian Sun are free.
GTA 1 & 2 are free at the discression of Rockstar. They are currently not free but were previously.
The op asks for actually good games so I doubt it’ll be that long.

For old point n click adventures use ScummVM. There are some freeware games for download in the website like Beneath a Steel Sky and Broken Sword. There’s tons more but how you get them is your concern.
There’s also a ScummVM app for Android if you want to play those games on your phone. Wendell played Day of the Tentacle with it in the Zenfone review from a view years ago.
