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.
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.
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…
Eh, they have a good school system I think and most people know English
Almost everyone there speaks English and very well. Never had any problem communicating.
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!
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.
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
Noita is amazing.
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?
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.
And of course Nokia.
Finnish people are fucking crazy (non-derogatory)
Buncha perkele
And My Summer Car
Maybe their winter could give us an answer… /j
By the way, if there’s anyone from Finland reading this, hello! 👋😃
I don’t think they like to be talked to that directly.
Oh beings of higher
existancelatitude if you would be so kind as to bless me with your knowledge and grace
Why hello! 🙋🏻♀️
I think I saw some quip by Linus Torvalds about how Finland has such long winters with nothing to do, so it’s no wonder we have so many great information technology nerds.
Moi
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.
Wait til you hear their music
Korpiklaani and Turisas are pretty good starts if ya like metal.
Totalselfhatred are from there too and great if you’re into black metal
I prefer bands like Skepticism, Impaled Nazarene, and Desecresy personally but each to their own 😉
Lots of weirdly emo ballads, TBH. The metal is good, but it’s still pretty niche from what I understand.
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
