i can stop anytime i want! ...i just don't want to stop...
there's a reason the community calls it cracktorio, lol
Lead dev of Ultrakill is Finnish and he said it's okay to pirate the game if you can't afford it
Soundtrack has some amazing tracks, too. Shame I get motion sickness from (fast) FPS.
I can second the soundtrack, which by the way you can get on Bandcamp.
I think this game has now an accessibility setting to slow it down? I'll have to verify it later

There are so many! What kind of games do you like? For example Spilled! Was made by a Dutch solo dev while living on her houseboat.

Interesting question, here are some EU-made indie games I've enjoyed, in no particular order. I've had to look all of these up, I didn't play them because they were European or anything.
- Chants of Senaar (France)
- Dead Cells (France)
- Disco Elysium (Estonia)
- Drova (Germany)
- Monster Train (Netherlands)
- Roadwarden (Poland)
Not so indie:
Control Alan Wake games. Max Payne 1&2 (Remedy, Finland)
Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 (Sandfall, France)
Satisfactory (Coffee Stain studios, Sweden)
Valheim (Iron gate, Sweden)

Don't know if it qualifies as an indie game but Clair Obscur Expedition 33.
Iโd say it does. Itโs an independent studio, half the cast had never even made a game before. And theyโre French too.
Alwa's Awakening and Alwa's Legacy, by Elden Pixels, a Swedish studio.
While you're at it, buy from GOG, a Polish store that sells DRM-free games for PC.
This War of Mine is made by a Ukranian team, and part of the proceeds go to helping with the war effort.
Deep Rock Galactic is still awesome, made by the Danish dev studio Ghost Ship Games.
Even if you don't like DRG for whatever reason, everyone should appreciate how awesome they are.
this thread is about to make my bank account cry ๐ญ
Hempuli is a Finnish indie dev, best known for Baba is You
idk wtf is going on with Finland, but gamedevs from over there make absolutely crazy lovecraftian-level-of-incomprehensiveness games
- baba is you
- noita
- fear and hunger
- whatever the fuck remedy is doing
Like, wtf is going on there?

BeamNG.Drive is German ๐
It's a softbody physics vehicle sim/sandbox game thing.
My favorite thing to do in it is to pair it with Automation: The Car Company Tycoon Game (NZ-based dev) where you can design vehicles and then export them to BeamNG to drive them.
I have done literally nothing with Automation except build stuff for Beam and I still consider it to be an excellent purchase. Best standalone third party DLC ever

Tactical Breach Wizards has been a lot of fun lately
Casette Beasts, a Creature collecting (pokemon like) game, is by a UK studio, and Yooka Replaylee which is also British only released last year and I still think it's the most slept-on game of 2025!
I'm biased because I go to the same school these guys went to but check out Wrong Organ: https://www.wrongorgan.com/
They made Mouthwashing and How Fish is Made, both are weird as fuck
I suppose that they would still count even though their first game has been running for over a decade.
I love Keen Software House, and their games Space Engineers and the new Space Engineers 2 that is in early access.
(They are based in the Czech Republic)
Gotta plug the games my IRL friends have made, all Swedish:
The Aquatic Adventure of the Last Human
Wriks: nothing completely made by him on steam, but he's done work for several games and other stuff, most of it is on the website.
Isn't the Horizon franchise made by a Dutch studio?
Yes, Gorilla Games is a Dutch company
Yes, Gorilla Games
Lol Itโs Guerrilla Games
But I wouldn't say they're indie. They're published by Sony.
Stray, A Plague Tale, Noita
Limbo and Inside, by danish dev company Playdead
Little Nightmares and the new game Reanimal, which is looking amazing, are also by swedish studio Tarsier.
How about the fartastical Diarrhea 4? Not only by a European indie dev, but also inspired by a Lemmy comment!
This is stoopid; I love it!
MENACE is a great sci-fi tactical RPG Iโve been playing a ton recently. Itโs still in early access though so beware of that but its by a german studio who made Battle Brothers and they seem to be knocking it out of the park with updates so far.
Warhorse studios (KCD2) in a bit big for real indie but it's not AAA either. They are pretty European afaik.
Edit: correct spelling
Satisfactory is excellent. Like 3D Factorio.
I've been playing a lot of The Last Caretaker too. It's early access but there's already 20hrs+ of good content. Seriously relaxing game too.
Town to City is a very cute and cozy city builder with a very calm pace, from a small studio in the Netherlands.
Intravenous
Inkle studios - UK - Heaven's Vault, A Highland Sing
Abbey Games - Netherlands - Reus, Renowned Explorers: International Society
Dimfrost Studio - Sweden - Bramble: The Mountain King
Strange Horticulture and Strange Antiquities by the British studio Bad Viking
Both excellent games
