What is the best game from your country?

[Deleted member 42221]

So, I'm nearly done with Hollow Knight, and wow WHAT A GAME. This game is just everything that I want from a modern metroidvania - an extremely tight piece of level design where new progressions, abilities, and understanding of the world and its inhabitants are extremely rewarding.

One of the things that came into my head a few times while playing it was "wow, this is the best Australian game ever made". It got me thinking - what are the best games from other people's countries? I thought this'd be a fun thread, because for countries such as USA and Japan it would be extremely difficult to pick one, and for other countries it'd be a fun bit of illumination on what games come from where around the world.

EDIT: To clarify, it's best game from a dev studio based in your country.

EDIT II: It'd be nice if you said your country as well as the game, for people who don't know what country that dev studio was based in. Thanks :-)

There are no "official" games from where I live (Dominican Republic). You get to play Mario Kart 8 deluxe on the traffic here tho and some GtaV on tought neiborhoods but thats about it.

 

[JetstreamRorschach]

Metroid: Samus Returns.

 

[Voyevoda]

Life is Strange or Beyond Good and Evil, I'd say. Or Dishonored 2.

 

[Kindekuma]

Metroid Prime.

God Bless America.

 

[Sgt. Demblant]

France:
Another World

I prefer Flashback but I'd say Another World is more important and also a tighter experience overall.
Not all of Flashbacks' levels are nearly as good as the first two.

 

[jedezel]

"best game" is subjective but for French games, I think that Flashback is up there.

edit after seeing Sgt Demblant post: Hey ! I am not alone !

Dutch people know whats up.

 

[Davoid]

Hn..

Maybe Baldurs Gate? Or Neverwinter Nights?

Recently, maybe Celeste, Cuphead or The Long Dark?

Fewer games make me think "Canada" than the Long Dark, ha ha, especially as I grew up in the North:

 

[Patitoloco]

I'm a big fan of anything from Pendulo Studios (Runaway series, Hollywood Monsters, Yesterday, etc.), but recently The Red Strings Club might take the cake. Rime and The Sexy Brutale are also pretty good.

 

[Mike.83]

Football Manager

 

[Dewin]

 

[lvl 99 Pixel]

Path of Exile I guess
don't really know any other games

 

[Betamaxbandit]

Scotland: Grand Theft Auto.

I think I win this one chaps, pack up nothing else to see

 

[Pascal]

From the U.S.

Metroid Prime 2 and Planescape: Torment

 

[Arkain]

Divinity: Original Sin 2, by a landslide. Nothing else from Belgium comes close imo.

 

[BT-787]

India. Ra.One on PS2 and PS3.

Jokes aside: Street Cricket Champions on the PS2. Socioball on Android and iOS.

Objection.

Mario Kart is far more chill than traffic down here.

Haha, word.
Davilex, those were the days....

Spoiler

but the real answer is Horizon Zero Dawn of course ;-)

 

[CaviarMeths]

My Game of the Year so far is from a little Canadian studio called Matt Makes Games. The game of course is Celeste.

More broadly, I hear that Bioware, Eidos Montreal, and Ubisoft Montreal make some alright games.

 

[Zhukov]

Fruit Ninja?

The Australian game industry barely exists, so there isn't exactly much to choose from.

 

[Deleted member 5535]

Brazil and for me it's Dandara

 

[Blade Wolf]

Detention (Taiwan)

Still haven't played it though.

 

[RagingAvatar]

UK: Sea of Thieves.

 

[Benzychenz]

OP stole my answer, Hollow Knight is easily the best Australian game and I can't think of anything else that you could consider.

 

[Fall Damage]

Although I haven't played it in ages I think World of Warcraft is right up there for USA.

 

[GroovySnake]

Duke Nukem 3D

(United States)

 

[honest_ry]

GTA.

 

[Indelible]

Mass Effect 2

 

[bane833]

Don't know, Gothic maybe?

 

[Renmyra]

One of the Battlefields maybe?

 

[Dobbie078]

Horizon Zero Dawn

 

[Hasemo]

Probably Witcher 3.

 

[Theodran]

Eve Online.

 

[Selphie]

Nuclear Throne is endless fun so I'm going with that (Netherlands)

 

[CaviarMeths]

Detention (Taiwan)

Still haven't played it though.

I keep meaning to pick this game up. It looks fantastic.

Yeah I really like the atmosphere and tension, I need to play it.

 

[TwoDelay]

Hollow knight

 

[Samanosuke Akechi]

The last of us.

By naughty dog. US.

 

[Mister X]

Divinity: Original Sin 2, by a landslide. Nothing else from Belgium comes close imo.

This. 93 on metacritic.

 

[DocOwer]

Turrican 2 (Germany). Although I would personally prefer Giana Sisters back on the C64 / Amiga, but this was a blatant copy of Super Mario Bros, so no credits for this one.

 

[Stealthy Cockatrice]

Whatever Ubisoft Romania did. I think the Silent Hunter >3 series were something exclusively made here.

 

[Arsene no Kiseki]

Hard to decide, But I personally think Mass Effect 2, Deus Ex Human Revolution, and Assassin's Creed 2 are the best titles to come out of Canada, But I love a lot of Canadian made titles.

 

[Angie]

Syndrome aparently.

 

[apotema]

Kerbal Space Program from Mexico

 

[Creamium]

Yeah, the Divinity: Original Sin games since I'm from Belgium I guess. Haven't played them myself, but the universal acclaim speaks for itself.

 

[HBK]

Parcoursup : https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parcoursup (sorry there's no english page yet)

It's an online game with a large player base.

There's a crap ton or RNG involved though.

 

[Odeko]

I'm torn between Fallout: New Vegas and Spelunky. Binding of Isaac: Rebirth is another 10/10.

Ooh, and Infinifactory is incredible too. The US's AAA scene my be awful but our indie games are easily the best in the world.

 

[ISOM]

Fallout New Vegas

 

[tatwo]

Finland. If anyone says anything else than Max Payne 2 they are lying.
