10 Remarkable Video Games From Germany

Several notable video games developed in Germany include Dorfromantik, Turrican, Far Cry, Desperados III, and Trüberbrook, released from 1990 to recent years.
This variety emerged from diverse origins such as Berlin students creating Dorfromantik and established studios like Crytek in Frankfurt and Mimimi Games in Munich.
Titles range from Dorfromantik's hexagonal puzzle cards and Turrican's 1990 futuristic run-and-gun gameplay to Far Cry's original development by Frankfurt’s Crytek and Desperados III’s Wild West stealth action.
Far Cry sold nearly three million copies worldwide, while Trüberbrook’s sets were physically built then digitized, and Desperados III is praised for its charming characters like Kate O’Hara.
These games illustrate Germany’s broad development scene combining strategic design, technical skill, and global appeal across multiple cities and genres.
