Want to try another quality free and open source game? Veloren is a multiplayer voxel RPG inspired by games such as Cube World, Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, Dwarf Fortress and Minecraft. Developed in the fancy Rust coding language, Veloren has grown massively over this last year and it's steadily turning into what could potentially be the next truly big FOSS game.
Some of what's new in this release includes:

That's a small slice of the full and quite long changelog for the 0.10.0 release.
Download from the Veloren website. There's numerous ways to download it from a direct-download with a launcher to keep it up to date, Flatpak, Snap and more. If you do decide to download it today, there's a release party on the official server going on, seems like it could be a lot of fun and the download is quite small still too so it won't take up much space.
