Germany was the best at RPGs, strategy games, and simulators (especially business sims). Adventure games also remained popular in Germany up until the early 2010s.
France and Russia also had a great output of eurojank, but French games tended to be too casual, whereas Russian games were often frustrating savescum fests. German games had the perfect balance of autism and comfiness for my liking.
The UK produced the most "good by normie standards" games, but with the exception of a few developers like Shiny Entertainment, I don't think their games were as interesting as those produced by other European countries
Out of all the yuro countries:
Germans made the best RTT
Brits made the best racers, flight and horror-themed games
Frenchies made the best platformers
The Ukraine made the best FPS series

Ok, Cossaks was great. Also Venom was cool but for some reason got totally unnoticed in Europe and the US. Additionally, Chasm is frequently mentioned nowadays, yet calling it "a great game" is hard.
Then Poland. Yeah, Earth 2140 was, I guess, nice (also meme games like Reah and Jack Orlando).
But what about Sweden? Even Norway had some nice stuff released in the 90s (like IGI, TLJ, Hitman and AO). What did Sweden release prior to the 21st century? Europa-Universalis-piece-of-nonsense?

Pretty much all their games were excellent, most notably their pinball series (Dreams, Fantasies, Illusions), Benefactor, Motorhead. That was even before they did the Battlefield series.
It's the French OP. Goblins series, Another World and to a lesser degree Flashback, Little Big Adventure (especially the sequel) and most importantly - Captain Blood. That game truly is something else, it's an experience.
>Germany
Only if you're into a very specific genre
Though picrel is probably one of the most underrated games and the best Pyro's Commandos clone ever
Also the comfiest cowboy/Wild West atmosphere in a game

Considering their cucked government hates games and they're more derided than in other countries, they made a decent number of good games
More like debate on 2nd-best. It's kind of obvious that UK has produced the greatest stuff, unless you're a contrarian.

UK had Rare. No other country holds a candle.
England gave us Rare, Rockstar, and Free Radical. Continentals are obsolete
Germans managed to dig the essence of coziness.
Britain. What do the other Euro countries have that can compete with the likes of DKC, GTA, and fricking Burnout?
Seriously, couldn't you mention Carmageddon instead of that gimmick called GTA?

Does your studio have anyone employed specifically for "Sexist Design"?
No?
Then Germany is already better than you.
Figures the token Turk would be in charge of sexist design.
Bonjour 🙂
Such a bunch of rascals. I miss their historical stuff. Also I miss Cryo's sidekick Arxel Tribe.
Yeah. Faust was solid.

>not mentioning Operation Flashpoint
Got weird memories of this game. Kinda enjoyed it and also didn't like it at the same time. Pretty tough in places too from what I remember.
It's called Yager? I think I had that ages ago.
>It's called Yager?
It is.
Yes Eren
we should make an Eurovision contest but only for retro countries and retro games
We Dutch people invented the CD. So it's us.

Didn't Spain make some good stuff?
>Commandos
>Severance: Blade of Darkness
That's all I can think of, but Commandos 2 is the best game in its genre tbf
No, just Infogrames, Coktelvision, Delphine Software, Cryo, ERE Informatique/Exxos, etc.
Italy
frick I meant Spain
Why does Italy have no real videogame developers?
France, no contest
Their games often feel too plastic like they're tailor made for the lowest common denominator
but enough about american games
>ITT we debate which ass made the best smelling shits
