Scandinavia in general, coffee stain consistently release, publish and offer continuous support for amazing games made by Scandinavians (drg, satisfactory)
They own mobile games too: Supercell (clash of clans & royale, hay day, brawl stars) is Finnish SYBO Games (Subway Surfers) is Danish Rovio Entertainment (Angry Birds) is Finnish King (Candy Crush & more) is Swedish and RobTop (Geometry dash is Swedish too
The only place to rival them in classic mobile games is Australia which has Halfbrick (Fruit Ninja, Jetpack Joyride) and Hipster Whale (Crossy Road)
Oh and the Nordics are just as successful in mobile gaming with critically acclaimed mobile games: Playdead (Inside and Limbo) are Danish and Frogmind (Badland) is Finnish
Surprised minecraft isn’t on this list!
Notch worked at King before, so MC is directly related to one of the companies on the list.
I think he’s alluding to the fact that Mojang is a Swedish studio. And of course Persson (Notch) is also Swedish.
I didn’t count it as a mobile game since it’s a port of a pc game, but then again I first played Minecraft on pocket edition so it is definitely an influential mobile game too!
Norwegians heard sobbing in the distance
…in their cabins, into piles of money
Can’t forget goat simulator for extra weirdness
Valheim <3
joar jakobsson is swedish too
Finland also has a Sesame Street-like heavy metal band of dinosaurs making educational and children-appropriate heavy metal music for kids:

Keep it coming I say! Noita is easily my favorite game of all time. There’s an insane amount of depth and replayability.
So good! I love that I’ve got a ton of time in the game and there are still so many secrets and things I don’t know.
That feel when you accidentally dig to other half of the map, then find out about the secret other other half of the map.
There are still secrets that nobody knows in Noita.
Eye messages, for one.
I can’t believe that “My Summer Car” isn’t on here, I feel like it fits the theme of amazing but slightly disturbing Finnish games
That is just an accurate rural finland simulator
And Wreckfest, Flatout, Rally Trophy
edit: Trials!
my summer car
The title screen theme is actually the Finnish national anthem
Honestly love everything about that game. But by god I will never steal money from that guy again.
Being stalked by him gives me PTSD flashbacks from that butler in Tomb Raider.
How have you forgotten Remedy, with Alan Wake, Control, and Quantum Break?
I feel like Finland might be where I belong. If only I could realistically learn Suomi…
Almost everyone there speaks English and very well. Never had any problem communicating.
Sam Lake is Finnish and did Max Payne, no?

Mfers live in a winter wonderland and yet every other death metal band comes from there
One part of the reason might be because we are so strangers to sharing our feelings by talking that the only socially acceptable way is to let them burst in the form of music.
One other reason might be the fact that regular working hours in the winter often coincide with the few hours with sun so many might go months without seeing the sun(my personal record is about 2 months)
There is a lot of things in dark woods to be fearful of.
I wish I could forget about Baba Is You completely, I want that feeling I got when I did “What happen if I do ’ … IS KEY’?” again.
Especially the discovery of hidden content. Need amnesia device for this and a few other games.
And My Summer Car
Well we have long winters. That shit has an effect on humans who stay at these latitudes for longer times. In every sense, evolutionarily (light skin, blue eyes), culturally (we’re introverted as fuck) and personally (if you don’t supplement vitamins properly, mainly D, you will get at least slight changes to mood and whatnot).
I’d like to visit some actually Southern place, like in the Mediterranean, Caribbean, Africa or Southern Asia or Australia. First to just see a proper sunset. Secondly, to see whether not everyone is as much of a dick as people I generally have lived around all my life.
How would you like an all expenses paid trip to Antarctica?
Noita is amazing.
Darkness, alcohol, and a lack of oil
this sounds more like a dunk on norway for some reason
which i am all for
Såklart
I love getting drunk in the dark. I should check out norway
And of course Nokia.
RIP
I’ve played some of cruelty squad and it’s fun. definitely a weird psycho game I wouldn’t pay more than $5 for but still fun
Cruelty Squad has been the most surprisingly enjoyable game that I’ve played in recent years. I initially thought the extremely positive rating was just elaborate trolling after looking at the screenshots.
Dang I haven’t played Noita in like a week
Thinking about it, it’s weird that it has no native Linux version
What’s wrong with proton
By itself nothing. It was more along the lines of “why doesn’t the Finnish game support the Finnish kennel”.
Noita doesn’t even need proton, it’s using OpenGL so plain wine is perfectly fine.
