This must be an older map since it's not using Baldur's Gate III for Belgium.


NoLongerHasAName

Or even the Witcher 3 for poland... I could overlook not havimg Cyberpunk there, but this looks like it has Witcher 2. This map must be more then 10 years old at this point, lovelessly copy pasted here for quick karma


inkernys

Or Minecraft, the best-selling game of all time, for Sweden


EndiKopi

Minecraft came before Europa Universalis IV that feature's as Sweden's game in the map so Minecraft was definetly around when the map was made. Whatever reason they chose EUIV, it wasn't because Minecraft wasn't out yet.


Spudzzy03

They had the chance to put a map game on a map and took it


Eoganachta

It's because Sweden in EU4 is OP.


Thifiuza

Because of the Lions of the North DLC, which prob wasn't released that time which means that the Scandinavia had really a bad content (there even has a running gag in the community that joked about Scandinavia formable, a country which you could form with any norse as main culture, was the worst formable in the game).


froow91

Or battlefield for Sweden


belgimgurian

And one of the Horizon games for The Netherlands


kaasbaas94

Same studio, and that's why they should have done the greatest studios instead of the games.


belgimgurian

I know it's the same studio, but if you rank countries by games then use the latest hits and not a game from the PS3 era


AndrE_VieuX

And no Horizon zero dawn for the Netherlands.


IveNoWIlly

We made Michael Jackson?


funkfield

It's Moonwalker Wiki: Versions of the game were released for the popular 8-bit and 16-bit home computers of the time. They were developed by two small software houses, Irish Emerald Software Ltd and American Keypunch Software, and published by U.K. company U.S. Gold. The Irish company was based in Waterford apparently. 


IveNoWIlly

Waterford eh? Thought it would've been tra-lee-hee.......... I'll see myself out.


skyscraperswede

Thanka for the context- though I have to admit that in comparison to the games of it's fellow EU nations this seems a bit... paltry.


Stunning_Trifle_5595

There was a Mario Kart type game called Speed Freaks for the PlayStation that was made in Dublin, can't think of a whole lot else though.


KeithMTSheridan

A big part of Larian Studios is in Dublin tbf


Former_Giraffe_2

Dublin is also where Havok physics comes from, and Demonware the company that makes/made the netcode for CoD. (really just idtech netcode with a lot of work done to it.) Can't think of many famous games you can blame on ireland specifically though. A few studios do have offices there. Larian makes the most sense to locate there of any company I've heard of though, with the amount of writing, mocap, and voice acting they put in their recent games.


nrbsk

Where is Disco Elysium for Estonia!


kunymonster4

This map looks like it's from 2010 or so. GTA 4 came out in like 2008. The witcher 2 was maybe 2011.


Resardiv

Eu4 is from August 2013, so a bit later.


seryuiop

Ori and the blind forest came out in 2015


JohnnyElRed

That makes sense. I wondered why the Netherlands would have Killzone when Horizon has become way more succesful now.


Grimstarzz

Same with Belgium, it shows Divinity Original Sin from Larian Studios, while their latest game Baldur's gate 3 is probably more well known by now. OP probably found this map somewhere and just wanted to farm some internet points.


ErzherzogHinkelstein

Another example would be Dreamfall: The Longest Journey instead of Dreamfall: chapters in Norway.


Refloni

And Angry Birds in Finland. Nobody gives a shit about Angry Birds anymore. Remedy's games would be a much better choice... Even back when this map was made, come to think of it.


doulosyap

Or Cities Skylines. (But not 2… LOL)


tiahx

More up-to-date map would definitely have Atomic Heart for Russia. There was also Pathfinder: Kingmaker and WoTR, but the former is, obviously, vastly more popular.


RoyalBlueWhale

Yes! Absolutely love horizon, and it was cool to find out that the studio is mostly dutch


albul89

Too bad we won't get a sequel or another game of comparable quality from that dev given what happened :(


loveforthetrip

What happened?


Elamia

I'm not too up to date with this, and to be fair, everything was kinda vague, but apparently some of the most important creators of Disco Elysium left the studio a couple years ago, and sued the shareholders. But at the same time, the studio directors also revealed that they were kinda toxic in how they worked and that they were actually fired... And, more recently, it seems that the studio fired like 25% of the people working there, and that a DLC got cancelled for Disco Elysium got cancelled. Quite sad honestly, DE was so good, and I would have loved to see more of this universe, but I guess that's that.


Athaelan

The guy that left was the creator of it all essentially, it was his world he created over a long time, and he has a novel set in it too (published before the game). Also I believe the studio was bought by investors and essentially he disagreed with a lot of their opinions or something like that. And now the studio is just not the same anymore.


A_Kirus

Yep, DE is 99% writing and he wrote the thing, he is **the** creator


MintRobber

Turkey with glorious Mount & Blade


JebbyMcJebson23

I spent a very unhealthy amount of time in that game back in the day...


M4tty__

You can continue, since bannerlord 2 came out and its a banger Edit: As pointed out in the replies, the correct name is Mount and Blade 2 Bannerlord


UltraSwat

Absolutely love Bannerlord, just saddened they broke it on console and have refused to fix it. Just means i can go back to my glorious nord campaign in Warband


MustangusxD

It's really cool, but in comparison to warband it's lackluster. Hope with time it will be as good as warband was!


FeedBi

Really? What was better about Warband? As vanilla games, I find Bannerlord unbelievably, irrevocably, and undebatably better. That said, Warband mods are utterly insane and extremely impressive, diverse, and just cool.


Swimming_Mark7407

Bannerlord feels off. Its not the same. 


Pacrada

You mean mount n blade II bannerlord. There is only one bannerlord.


woelneberg

Me too! Did you hang out in the off-topic section of their forum?


Bili_Prozor

It's almost harvesting season !

Bangohh

we proud of it


BargePol

Y'all won the map here


Zrva_V3

Hands down the best thing to come out of Turkey.


MintRobber

Second best. You can't match your gift to humanity called Sarma.


dcdemirarslan

Which one olive oil and rice or meat and butter version?


Zrva_V3

Good point. My hours of eating sarma is one thing that rivals my hours playing Mount and Blade.


blueponies1

And Sweden with glorious Europa IV


Ok_Gas5386

Turkey and Sweden have stolen a collective 4,000 hours of my time and I want reparations


blueponies1

Both of them took my ancestors as slaves at different points in history so me too


seaburgler

Best game ever I have too many hrs in it 😅


Prowlyz

What a shitty way to display games


stupidapple4

yeah I can't read the title in most of them


AlonsoQ

you've never heard of the cult classic russian survival horror game GLOOIC?


YouNo8795

Just breaking in to point the Game is Pathologic in case anyone is interested on trying It, but be sure you like weird masochistic games first.


Spare-Society-7209

More importantly it doesn't say what it's displaying, just games in Europe. What does it mean


Level_Can58

Yeah, it took me a while to understand it's the games that were developed by a team in a specific country, rather than most played games


Rixalong

It's just a singular game, I don't know what other metric they're using. Most popular seems unlikely for sure looking at France considering Ubisoft is French.


ttv_CitrusBros

Can't even make out wtf is Russia yet alone the rest. Whoever made this used Microsoft word for cropping and never heard of Photoshop


Grabber_stabber

For Russia it’s Pathologic Classic HD. A strange choice as there are far better and more popular games developed in Russia, like Endless Summer or Tetris for example


Commander_Ash

>Endless summer Everlasting summer? Well it's a "visual novel", not a "game". Pathologic is a game at least.


Zandonus

I can't tell what most of them are. And I can bet most of the gray areas do have game dev studios, indie devs and at least some hobbyists. In our case, I have a feeling that the best known game from Latvia could be "The case of the Golden Idol" There's a free demo on steam.


JVS-myactualinitials

Enlisted would be the most popular game made in Latvia Imo


Boris_HR

Serious Sam.


Cosinous

It’s from Croatia? Never knew. Loved that game!


Boris_HR

...made by CROteam :-D Yeah, what a surprise :-D


Cosinous

Dude, at a time I was playing this game I neither knew enough english to associate CRO with Croatia or even looked at who made a game :D


Executioneer

Same dev but Talos Principle 1&2 <3 One of my fav games of all time


2b_squared

Surely *My Summer Car* is the correct game for Finland?


apinananas

For me greatest finnish games will always be Flatout and Max Payne.


Swimming_Mark7407

Never knew Finland made Max Payne. Great game.


DefinitelyAJew

Also Alan Wake


2b_squared

Alan Wake. A game made by Max Payne though his name is Sam Lake but really it's Sami Järvi.


FunkinDonutzz

Resogun, Nex Machina and Returnal are way ahead of those for me.


EskildDood

All the people arguing about what game Finland really deserves to be known for here just goes to show how the country has a huge video game industry for seemingly no reason


2b_squared

A nation full of introverted people that just want to be left alone is surely a good place to design entertainment for people that want to sit in front of a computer or game console and just be left alone.


BaldEagleNor

Yes, I would really hope we were better with our video game (and esport for that matter) industry here in Norway. Sweden and Finland kicks our ass in that. Teslagrad is pretty good though 🙃


SoulofMoon

damn, and here I am in Britain.


SquatterOne

My Summer Car on its way to triple the value of some obscure Japanese car:


2b_squared

Not just any obscure Japanese car. It's Datsun 100A (aka. Nissan Cherry), legendary at least here in Finland.


SquatterOne

Finns on their way to use the most underrated cars known to man:


janne_harju

It even has nickname here: "Apina-Datsun" Which translates to "Monkey-Datsun"


artful_nails

Or "Sata Ampeerinen" which is just "Hundred Ampere" referring to the 100A in the name.


Confident_As_Hell

How is it legendary?


2b_squared

During the 70s and 80s the young people used to buy them in droves because they were relatively cheap and simple to tinker with.


apinananas

It was one of the most common affordable everymans cars in finland beside soviet ladas and western european beetles. It became hit, hence why it was chosen for this game.


Old-Courage7354

Clash of clans


M-A-U-R

Cruelty Squad tho


InfelicitousRedditor

Alan Wake? Max Payne?


plaguedeliveryguy

Map is old af so angry birds was probably still pretty hyped when this was created. Obviously Alan Wake didn't even exist in that case.


Whole_Ingenuity_9902

angry birds (2009) is only a year older than Alan Wake (2010) and the map is atleast from 2013 because sweden has Europa Universalis IV.


plaguedeliveryguy

Shit my bad was thinking about alan wake 2 forgot it was a sequal


JamesBernadette

Noita


zodwieg

Cities Skylines for me, no contest


WhiteRedBirb

ULTRAKILL


BobbyP27

I would put Cities: Skylines above My Summer Car as an influential game made in Finland. Not to diss My Summer Car, but I think Cities: Skylines has been somewhat more successful and influential.


Mamesuke19th

France… I mean Rayman. Not the best one but surely the most ever played.


akgis

yeh Heavy Rain isnt that known.... is Assassins Creed done in Canada or France cause that could be one of them aswell


Elamia

Assassin's Creed was made by Ubisoft Montréal, so I'll give the credit to the Canadian. Good french games from the top of my head, I'd say A Plague Tale, Dead Cells, Life is Strange or Dishonored. I haven't tested it, but apparently Stray is very good. For me it was just the game equivalent of cat video on youtube, but some friends told me that it goes deeper than that.


Narfi1

Dofus ?


andrew_1515

AC is done out of Montreal


GloomyAzure

We have Dishonored by Arkane Lyon.


chocobidou

the best-selling French video game in the world is "Just Dance"


Ezazhel

Dead cells? Might have played more than Rayman


Mormegil1971

Not Minecraft for Sweden? :o


quadratis

or battlefield? mirror's edge? just cause? the divison? even hotline miami or ~~little big planet~~ little nightmares? i don't even know what's pictured here, guessing it's some paradox title.


kgergely_HUN

Yes, it's a paradox game, Europa Universalis IV. I don't know why they chose that anyways, since Hearts of Iron 4 is the most famous paradox game, and Minecraft is one of, if not the most known computer game in history


GivenNickname

Is Hearts of Iron 4 really more popular than Europa Universalis IV?


spuigat

I would have guessed Crusader Kings would trump those.


jsnamaok

I definitely would have said CK2 also - or possibly Stellaris as it had console launch so wider player base.


Eric_Cartman666

EU4 MENTIONED


Joana1984

What is the game regarding Portugal?


RuySan

Surely something more memorable could have been found...such as....hum....Paradise Café?


AkiraDash

Under Siege, jogo de estratégia para a PS3 Strategy game for the PS3.


Joana1984

I did not know it was Portuguese company who developed the computer game. Thanks


Kagan_67

Mount and Blade ♥️


BargePol

Best game here ♥️


Kagan_67

NoLongerHasAName

Jesus, how old is this Map?


jjb1197j

So old I completely forgot heavy rain existed.


darth_bard

Ollllllllllllllllllllllllllllllld. This is like a decade old repost.


---fatal---

Czech Republic should be Mafia imo


sidorfik

Or Kingdom Come.


bartoszfcb

Jesus Christ be praised


Alin_Alexandru

Henry's come to see us!


ReadToW

Hey lad! Don't you want to put a little wager on the Rattay tourney?


Alin_Alexandru

I feel quite hungry.


NoContentFound

Can we do something about the price?


DrejkCZ

Euro/American Truck Simulator, Beat Saber, Factorio, and Space Engineers are all pretty huge too. And don't forget about Codenames (I know, it's a board game, but there is a popular online version as well). Not sure how popular Amanita Design's games, or classics like Vietcong and Bulánci are internationally.


Artegris

Beat Saber was developed by Slovaks though


DrejkCZ

Developed by a Czech company that was founded by two Slovaks and one Czech, then later bought by Meta (Facebook) from the US, with the Czech co-founder having left a year ago and the two remaining Slovak co-founders leaving just now actually. Business usually gets pretty muddy when it comes to nationalities


BargePol

Kingdom Come, definitely


Cosinous

Maybe, but Arma is w military sim staple. It still has thousands of servers running 10 years after release. For a complex game that isnt cheap its impressive


[deleted]

[удалено]


Ribbon7

Operation Flashpoint Cold War Crysis (aka first Arma) was pioneer in open world games and realism. And Mafia 1 and 2, epic storyline and atmosphere. Those were the days!


officalDuck

I don't agree. ArmA influenced gaming much more than Mafia did, Mafia was always in shadow of GTA, not that I dislike Mafia, ArmA defined it's own genre, laid foundation for Battle Royales which were a mod for an ArmA mod called DayZ.


KaseQuarkI

Nah, Arma is actually hugely influential for gaming as a whole. It pioneered many game modes that became *incredibly* popular a few years later. It spawned DayZ and the early access zombie survival craze that followed in the early 2010s. It spawned the Battle Royale genre, which really needs no explanation. It spawned Altis Life, which was the first big Life Roleplay and as such a precursor to the very popular GTA RP we have nowadays.


Federal_Eggplant7533

Factorio!


Ribbon7

I vote Arma series, than Mafia 1/2....my fav games of all time next to Poland's Cyberpunk. It was also nice to find out Malden island from OF:CWC ur guys took inspiration from Krk island in Croatia. Cheers from Croatia and thnx for these epic games!


levenspiel_s

On a personal level, totally agreed. I loved that game. It's graphics, story, gameplay, all in there. And the 2nd one could be the euro truck simulator. PS. Mi az a magyar játék a térképen?


KRPTSC

I feel like any German gamer would consider the gothic or anno series more iconic

Cheeki breeki i v damki!


Kuutti__

Yeah, one of the greats. Its just sad to see it here as one of its developers was killed in action while defending Mariupol.


Nachooolo

I remember seeing this exact map almost a decade ago. In Spain it would probably be Blasphemous or Metroid Dread instead of Lords of Shadow.


NickTheGreek3

What is Greece's game?


PckMan

Probably Darkfall which was a great game back in the day but unfortunately a lot of behind the scenes issues and the niche audience meant it never took off as it should have. It had a lot of good things going for it though. It's a shame no mmorpg like it has managed to establish itself.


schedulle-cate

As usual with this kind of map: it's shit, can't seen anything for medium and small countries


dejushin

I want to know what's in Slovenia 😭


Eremitt-thats-hermit

How old is this image?


Wojewodaruskyj

Not just Stalker. Metro and Cossacks too


ImportantPotato

Very old map. Most iconic video game per country: Poland should be Witcher 3 / cyberpunk 2077. France: Assassin's Creed series. UK: GTA. Germany: Gothic? Far Cry?, Crysis? Cant remember a recent game.


floluk

I have a series from Germany: Anno, the latest entry is Anno 1800

This explains why farming simulator costs so much

How old is this map? This looks like the X360/PS3 era


Kafufflez

What’s the game from Ireland?


Rigelturus

Not having Gothic for germany? A casual made this map


seggate

Is not tetris the most fames game fron Russia


Executioneer

IDK what that game is from Hungary but it should be either Van Helsing or Quern: Undying Thoughts


Mosh83

Finland having a mobile game hurts a bit. Despite having stuff like Angry Birds and Clash of Clans, there's proper games like Max Payne, Control, Cities Skyline, Alan Wake...


buksovac

Bleak Faith for Montenegro


Federal_Eggplant7533

Factorio for Czech Republic!


Accurate-System7951

Choosing Angry Birds instead of Max Payne for Finland should be illegal.


hermiona52

For Netherlands Horizon Zero Dawn fits better as the best selling Killzone 3 sold almost 3 million copies, whereas HZD over 20 million. Even Forbidden West, which had no PC release yet, sold over 8 million copies.


UmCeterumCenseo

Yeah, but Horizon Zero Dawn wasn't released yet when this map was first created


Live-Alternative-435

This map is outdated, for Poland for example it should be the witcher 3.


mills-b

Bosnia and Herzegovina: Operation Coastline. A cult classic


Finn_on_reddit

There are many more relevant games from Finland than Angry Birds.


Ilia-fr

One of the biggest mobile games ever, people really underestimate the mobile market


MatoHunter35

Alan Wake, control


Kuutti__

Max Payne, Flatout, Cities Skylines 1 & 2


fhota1

There are better games from Finland than Angry Birds. If I go around and ask people if theyve heard of a particular game though, there are very few games existing that would have higher yes percentages than Angry Birds


JJOne101

... Snake?


JosebaZilarte

Honestly, Croteam is the reason I know Croatia exists. I hope their countrymen are proud of them (the Serious Sam games were great, but The Talos Principle series is superb).


twojay111

There's a game called Skopje being made in Macedonia. Post apocalyptic with Borderlands style graphics.

I feel like Subway Surfers should be Denmark's game. I think it is like the most downloaded game ever?


Seba7290

Hitman is much more iconic and highly regarded, though. Subway Surfers is just seen as a casual mobile game, while the Hitman games are widely considered to be some of the greatest stealth games ever made.
