Technically none of these are retro but fuck it here you go nigger

Xonotic is a community continuation of Nexuiz, a free game based off Quake 1 where the creator sold the rights (or at least the names and shit) to a studio named Illfonic who made a shitty CryEngine game that was more like Mario Party: Arena FPS Edition than anything. It's kind of fucking weird on why Illfonic even wanted the name/rights, but their game was dead on arrival anyway and you can't buy the game anymore because Ubisoft.

But yeah Xonotic itself is pretty good though I need to give it another try before giving opinions. Play it anyway.

Open Arena is basically a FOSS clone of Quake 3 with rather low poly skimpy women, anime girls, a guy in a Tux costume, and has an overall more weird atmosphere. Any music that's present is also a bit weird, but yeah it's as close to Q3 as you can go here.

Cube 2 is notable for its in-gameplay level editing of CUBESSSSSSSS and everyone seemingly runs as fast as cars as is. In terms of functionality and stats, the weapons are based off either their Doom or Quake 1-3 equivalents. Everyone is notified of important pickups like Quad Damage and Health Increases and you have damage numbers present on hit. There's also some funky shit like 3D menus if you want them. Worth looking into as a curiosity.

Oh yeah, all the freely available arena shooters for some reason are all weird as fuck.
