The Czech Republic actually received as many votes in the master thread as Norway, so I figured I should get it out as fast as possible, also considering the Norwegian list doesn’t have all that many popular titles. The Czech Republic is thankfully a whole other BEAST in the industry, especially in recent years.
2K Czech/Illusion Softworks
Cetainly a major factor in the Czech game industry, though unfortunately defunct. They are famous for the tactical shooters Hidden and Dangerous and the sequel, but probably most for the first two Mafia games, which are celebrated open-world action-adventure games, often compared to GTA. Other hits include Vietcong, and even the tennis game Top Spin 4 was a critical success.
Notable games:
Hidden and Dangerous
Mafia
Hidden and Dangerous 2
Vietcong
Mafia 2
Top Spin 4
Bohemian Interactive Studio:
A studio that has specialized itself in tactical shooters with Operation Flashpoint and the popular Arma series. More recently the survival multiplayer games DayZ and Vigor became very popular.
Notable games:
Operation Flashpoint: Cold War Crisis
Arma: Armed Assault
Arma 2
Arma 3
DayZ
Vigor
Warhorse Studios
Warhorse Studios is a rather young studio, but has already managed to raise to the top tier of European developers thanks to just two games. Kingdom Come: Deliverance was a hit, but its sequel was a sensation! I would not be surprised if it takes several game of the year awards.
Notable games:
Kingdom Come: Deliverance
Kingdom Come: Deliverance II
Amanita Design
Very interesting indie developer, Machinarium was a breakthrough success. A very stylistic point and click game. Amazingly every single game they have released since has been a critical success, although without attracting quite as much attention.
Notable games:
Machinarium
Botanicula
Samorost 3
Chuchel
Pilgrims
Creaks
Happy Game
SCS Software
They specialized themselves in big vehicle simulators of all things. Perhaps not a type of game for everybody, but you wouldn’t believe how popular Euro Truck Simulator 2 is!
Notable games:
Euro Truck Simulator 2
American Truck Simulator
Other games to consider:
Achtung, die Kurve!
Shadowgun
Silent Hill: Downpour
Beat Saber
Gyro13
Dead Trigger
Hero of Many
Reaper: Tale of a Pale Swordsman
Attentat 1942
Space Engineers
Factorio
Last Train Home
Hrot
