Bad Norththis thread is about to make my bank account cry 😭
Factorio is nice
Understatement of the decade
i can stop anytime i want! …i just don’t want to stop…
there’s a reason the community calls it cracktorio, lol
Lead dev of Ultrakill is Finnish and he said it’s okay to pirate the game if you can’t afford it
Soundtrack has some amazing tracks, too. Shame I get motion sickness from (fast) FPS.
I can second the soundtrack, which by the way you can get on Bandcamp.
I think this game has now an accessibility setting to slow it down? I’ll have to verify it later
Kingdom Come Deliverance 1 and 2 by Warhorse Studios - Czech
No Man’s Sky by Hello Games - UK
Planet Coaster 1 and 2 and Planet Zoo by Frontier Development - UK
I wouldn’t call any of those indie.
None of them are AAA, so what would you call them?
AA?
There are so many! What kind of games do you like? For example Spilled! Was made by a Dutch solo dev while living on her houseboat.
Wow new life goal
Valheim, with couple of friends it is one of the best games in decade. Done by swedish team iron gate and published by coffee stain which is also swedish.
And I think they’re about to hit 1.0 with the Deep North update. Will be great to get back in then with my friends.
Not indie but still good:
- Remedy - Control, Alan Wake.
- Embark - Finals, Ark Raiders.
- Flying Wild hog - Trek to Yomi
I would also add HellDivers 2 , by Arrowhead Game Studios, although the Publisher is a Japanese corporation (Sony Interactive Entertainment) and it is not an indie game at all.
Remedy is a Finnish studio, but the Publisher for Alan Wake is Epic Games, one of the least consumer-friendly companies in the Industry.
No one has mentioned S.T.A.L.K.E.R. yet?
I was just about to say, how is it that I had to scroll this fucking far down to find S.T.A.L.K.E.R.?
Add Metro series to it. THQ, afaik, doesn’t own rights to it anymore. Austrian publisher has rights now.
Don’t know if it qualifies as an indie game but Clair Obscur Expedition 33.
I’d say it does. It’s an independent studio, half the cast had never even made a game before. And they’re French too.
Interesting question, here are some EU-made indie games I’ve enjoyed, in no particular order. I’ve had to look all of these up, I didn’t play them because they were European or anything.
- Chants of Senaar (France)
- Dead Cells (France)
- Disco Elysium (Estonia)
- Drova (Germany)
- Monster Train (Netherlands)
- Roadwarden (Poland)
Not so indie:
Control Alan Wake games. Max Payne 1&2 (Remedy, Finland)
Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 (Sandfall, France)
Satisfactory (Coffee Stain studios, Sweden)
Valheim (Iron gate, Sweden)
Control Alan Wake games. Max Payne 1&2 (Remedy, Finland)
Get it before the new (ex-EA) CEO turns the company into a husk of what it was becoming :\
I kind of hate how comfy their position as a new CEO is. Firebreak was horrible for the company and it was not made by the main dev team. Remedy is now finishing the Control 2 and there is talk about remastering Max Payne 1&2. Those projects are pretty much unfuckable at this point, so the new CEO gets all the praise how after the horrible launch of Firebreak they came amd saved the company. Only thing they need to do is to not torpedo the projects that are allready underwork.
Disco Elysium (Estonia)
The current state of that dev team is…contentious to say the least. If I recall correctly three different studios have spawned, none on good terms with the others. Good game, though.

I’m biased because I go to the same school these guys went to but check out Wrong Organ: https://www.wrongorgan.com/
They made Mouthwashing and How Fish is Made, both are weird as fuck
I suppose that they would still count even though their first game has been running for over a decade.
I love Keen Software House, and their games Space Engineers and the new Space Engineers 2 that is in early access.
(They are based in the Czech Republic)
Tactical Breach Wizards has been a lot of fun lately
Arc Raiders: it was produce by Embark Studios located at Stockholm
deleted by creator
Add to that, The Finals is also Embark. Very solid arena shooter.
