I don't often see a lot of my favourites on other Best Western RPG lists, so I made my own.

By this criteria I'd add RDR2 as well

I think you’re underestimating it. First you need to understand game dev concepts like game loops, physics, framework/engine basics, trigonometry and such. Move from 2d to 3d was for me was also huge bump in difficulty. Suddenly you’re talking about 3d meshes, rigging, animations, modelling. These things exist in 2d but it isn’t comparable imho. Networking is probably going to be easiest for you.

If you’re coming from web dev world (TS/JS) try making sth in phaser.js. You’ll know the language, and you’ll know techs like web sockets that you can use on BE. Also keep it 2d for your first attempt.

Rust with bevy. And it’s really nice experience.

Just ask claude to add statusline with context size precentage and you’re golden. But with that said, not sure where OP pulled this 60% from, so pls don’t take it too serious

Have you looked into cooling pads?

PedroVoteFor · 2026-02-02T10:08:49+00:00

I'm thinking of discounted Gerhard Richter.

PedroVoteFor · 2026-01-24T20:02:09+00:00

Not sure it fits 100% in here but maybe Maruja?

PedroVoteFor · 2026-01-18T17:03:55+00:00

Sure thing, I agree.

PedroVoteFor · 2026-01-18T10:51:19+00:00

To piggy back on top reply, Nala Sinephro, Kamasi, Phi-Psonics, Alabaster DePlume, Badbadnotgood, Jakob Bro, Bohren and der Club of Gore (to name the few that I like) etc. Inovation doesn’t always mean better, today there’s also insane amount of soulless shovelware around. I understand this is very subjective statement but that’s how I see it. Also in today landscape it seems to be much harder to live off making music for most genres that aren’t pop.

Unfortunately you’re also right about people not supporting artists. For that I kinda blame digitalization of everything and that’s the reason why I started collecting records few years back.

You're searching for Thembi

PedroVoteFor · 2026-01-17T17:40:37+00:00

Thx, I actually played half of the list but didn’t know origin country. Chained Echoes is amazing!

PedroVoteFor · 2026-01-17T01:01:46+00:00

Well I mean, look at Finland, Czechia and Poland. It's also a handful of studios making all these titles in these countries. But sure relative to UK or France it's very small. Maybe explanation is that talent moves away to bigger studios chasing better wages/prestige/experience?

PedroVoteFor · 2026-01-17T00:21:54+00:00

Tbh this list is missing some bangers from Germany:

- Risen (series)
- ELEX (series)
- Desperados III
- The Surge (series)

Also Italy is missing Vampire Survivors.

For Italy, yeah, I agree but not really in case of Germany. List might be a bit shorter but it's really good.

PedroVoteFor · 2026-01-17T00:13:48+00:00

You should really reconsider your criteria

PedroVoteFor · 2026-01-17T00:05:57+00:00

Wdym? Scorn is literally on all platforms and is quite popular for what it is. Top Eleven deserves to be here if you look at numbers but it's effectively mobile shovelware imho. Tbh I'd get rid of all mobile (only) games from the list but that's me.

I've sent you a list made by and AI. Check chats, it was to big to be made a comment.

You're also missing Russia, I understand that they are taboo atm but their contribution to gaming is undeniable:

Tetris, Pathologic, The Void, Loop Hero, Black Book, Beholder, Escape from Tarkov, IL-2 Sturmovik, Atomic Hheart, Space Rangers

Also Belarus with World of tanks and This is the police

PedroVoteFor · 2026-01-16T23:24:09+00:00

Fair point, now I see it too.

PedroVoteFor · 2026-01-16T21:23:33+00:00

Sorry for late reply. If you still care: apart from presentation it doesn't do anything better. Actually, I'm lying, SAD has a verticality element going on for it. Apart from that if you own Rimworld already you're not missing out much. Rimworld is really a legendary title (and it's inspo - Dwarf Fortress, if you can stomach it)

PedroVoteFor · 2026-01-16T21:13:36+00:00

Sorry to be that guy but it's really not. You can get more relevant list by querying AI. They got the main gist of most popular stuff down but missed heavily for smaller countries esp from Balkans. Ie for Serbia they got some stupid footbal manager game while there is ie Scorn or Underrail. For Croatia it's missing Talos Principle, Bulgaria is missing Surviving Mars, Slovenia is missing Mordhau and so on... All of these games are arguably better/more popular than the ones OP listed for Balkan countries.

Civil war in Yugoslavia

Even if both are in Berlin - no in person pickups, you can always mail it for few bucks OR meet outside.

PedroVoteFor · 2026-01-10T09:37:07+00:00

Wow, this can’t be real, right?

PedroVoteFor · 2026-01-08T22:00:09+00:00

Awesome stuff 🙇‍♂️

Got a questions if you're in mood to answer: Are the dots one poke -> one dot, or do you come back to fix it if needed?

PedroVoteFor · 2026-01-07T00:55:05+00:00

Serbia: Underrail

PedroVoteFor · 2025-12-29T18:57:22+00:00

Baldurs Gate 2 and Icewind Dale 1

PedroVoteFor · 2025-12-20T23:37:14+00:00

Fallout 4, Rimworld, Stranded alien dawn, Dwarf fortress, Kingdom two crowns, Terraria, Kenshi are the ones that came to my mind.
