All the original WWI games I've played on this site (with a few that turned out to not actually be WWI games, but were on the WWI tag anyway). Occasionally good! Mostly... not.
To put it briefly: play Heartland, maybe play Cargo Breach, Major Doctor Bing Bong, and syuzhet (in that order of preference), and you really don't need to play anything else on this list. Two of the games on this list are broken, and one claims it's in English but is almost entirely in French, so it's possible they might be good, but I'll never know. If you can get them to work and recommend them, or have any other WWI games you recommend (on itch.io or otherwise), drop me an ask on Tumblr at aceredshirt13!

This game looks really neat, actually, and I was so interested to know what sort of fantasy/death element was going on with the poppies... but unfortunately the game refused to progress (it said I needed to go back and talk to my commander, but whenever I talked to him he said the same dialogue he'd said at the beginning, and I couldn't find any other way to move the story forward). I left a comment on the developer's page noting the bug, but I haven't heard back...
This game is entirely in Chinese, so I didn't play it because I don't speak Chinese. Why am I mentioning it here, then? Because, despite the fact that the game is set in Russia, the creator openly said they machine-translated all the Russian in the game??? I wouldn't do that with the Chinese for a game set in China??? Bro??? It feels a bit disrespectful to the Russian language... Surely there was someone you could ask...
