I'll add Endless Sky in there as well. It's an open-source spiritual successor to EV Nova.

Why only free are u broke?
I pretty much just assume "Free To Play" games are full of microtransactions, is that wrong?
E: to be clear, I don't think microtransactions are an inherently bad thing. In fact, if people want to make games where other people with more money front the costs of development, I'm all about it.
What I hate is being reminded every 5 minutes that it has garbage skins that I can pay IRL money for.
Yes, there are good games that are just totally free. I've enjoyed the hell out of both ΔV: Rings of Saturn and South Scrimshaw lately. Both offer things you can purchase, but you get the full experience without them.
I could have sworn rings of Saturn wasn't free
I thought I heard once that the demo is just the full version, but you can just also buy it to support the devs? That might be outdated or just wrong information though.

OpenTTD is a good time if you like those types of management games. The graphics are old, but it’s still fun.
If you find yourself enjoying openTTD, I’d highly recommend trying the JGR patch pack. Link It adds loads of improvements that the steam version doesn’t have. I started on the steam version, loved it, and love the JGR version even more.
