Thorium – A Starship Bridge Simulator
Thorium is great; it's closer to a virtual tabletop for starship RPGs than a standalone game, built around creating interactive narratives. That sets it apart from the more straightforward game-style bridge sims, like Artemis[1] and EmptyEpsilon[2], which have scriptable scenarios with narrative elements but have more fundamentally game-focused mechanics.
All of these get used in a lot of fun ways for live events beyond their design, too. Thorium's "family tree" comes from interactive events at planetariums, and EmptyEpsilon, being open-source with an HTTP API and game-master screen for directly manipulating live game state and pretending to be ships, became a popular front-end for European LARPs.[3]

Ask HN: Favourite Open Source Game?
Empty Epsilon bridge simulator: https://github.com/daid/EmptyEpsilon
The game itself is fun, but the best stuff I've seen is it being reused, modified, and adapted for LARPs and crowdplay.
Out of Orbit is a great and ongoing example, a Finnish escape room-ish experience that also has a Twitch game putting stream chat in the role of the ship's AI: https://outoforbit.fi/ and https://www.twitch.tv/outoforbitgame/about
Empty Epsilon powers the game part, with integrations using its DMX interface and HTTP API to provide hardware interfaces and things like Twitch chat commands modifying the game state.

Making a game in C++
If you want to look at an interesting open source C++ game project that (iirc) uses SFML, you could check out Empty Epsilon.

Can't make my mind about which engine to use
libGDX is great, but I can understand if it's not for some people. This also applies to love2d, raylib and Monogame

I want to make a game but I'm scared...
raylib (c/c++) reliable, good docs, more or less same idea as love2d plus 3d support, but more flexible, and can be used outside game development, like visualizing data. I suggest you pick this if you want to learn low level system language - c/c++

LÖVE: a framework to make 2D games in Lua
I love love2D. It's really a breath of fresh air. I've made many little games and prototypes with it. Lua is fun, and the doco is great.
If you're looking in that realm I also have to mention RayLib [1]. It might remind you of the XNA days, except it runs on many platforms and it actually works! (sic.)
Final plug is of course PICO8.[2] Very different style once again but so much fun!
