Seriously though, that's quite a few games for a country of 10 million. PCs were subsidized here by the government during the 90s which gave us quite a headstart, and PC gaming is still very popular here.

 

[ParaSeoul]

Didn't know Starbreeze was Swedish,gonna have to go with the Darkness because that game and series deserves more attention.

 

[k_trout]

generation zero

 

[Sentenza]

At its peak, it was probably Battlefield for me.

Gunnar Gunnarssonsson, is that you?

Minecraft

But there are other games that deserve serious praise as well:
The Ascent
Steamworld Dig 1,2
Brothers A Tale of Two Sons

 

[JimmyRustler]

Immediately though about The Darkness when I read the thread title. Such a great game.

 

[CatLady]

I didn't know The Ascent developed in Sweden, but it's one of my favorite games from last year. I also voted for Soma; I was surprised at how good that game was.

 

[poppabk]

Battlefield still top even though it peaked a while ago and is currently in a sorry state.
Special mention for Pinball Dreams and Pinball Fantasy.

 

[Mithos]

Have only played Chronicles of Riddick and Mirror's Edge on the list of options in the poll, both on PS3.

 

[cinnamonandgravy]

more soma please.

Sweden and Scandinavia in general always punch above their weight. Best region on the planet imho.

 

[SEGA_2012]

Minecraft.
One of the best games of all time.
A Masterpiece in the same level of Mario, Sonic, Halo, Zelda etc.

 

[NewChoppa]

Not on the list but Returnal blew me away

EDIT: there was a reason why Returnal wasn’t on the list

I will consider that a personal attack. /jk

NOTHING.
Where the hell it is ? It's GOATY

 

[A.Romero]

Quite a powerhouse. I wish my country had that kind of output.

Personally I'd go for Battlefield, The Ascent, Mad Max, Just Cause, The Division and Hotline (this one in particular surprised me, I thought it was American).

 

[Ezquimacore]

Mirror's Edge
Still the best 7/10 franchise ever made

I googled each word and there is only one result for each, it leads back to this neogaf post.

[existensmaximum]

Pinball Dreams!

 

[Holammer]

Sweden had a strong demo scene in the C64 and Amiga days which paved the way for game development. Explaining how such a small nation can punch above its weight in the market. The same process happened in Finland too.

... Norway? Now that's just a sad display.

Rallisport Challenge

 

[darth.shrimp]

Vermintide, easily. Along with TWW, it did a great job bringing the Warhammer "old world" back into the light.

I was channeling the Swedish chef.

 

[Salmon Snake]

Amnesia: Most frightening game ever.

Battlefield until BF4 (it was the last one I played and I loved it).

Wolfenstein: The New Order and The Old Blood were amazing. The New Colossus was okay.

Edit. Heja Sverige!

 

[BigBooper]

Riddick. I've been wanting to replay Butcher Bay recently.but

 

[Robb]

Wolfenstein, Hotline Miami and Battlefield are probably my favorites.

 

[MixedHerbs]

Unravel & Yoku's Island Express (wish there was a sequel!) are personal favourites, and of course, Battlefield.
Major stretch, but honorable mention: Elitserien 95 - gone but never forgotten!

 

[Kydd BlaZe]

Anything from old Starbreeze/Machinegames.

 

[The_hunter]

Soma, what an incredible game that is. Battlefield 1 is a technical marvel.

 

[Mr Hyde]

Soma, Unravel and Just Cause 2 & 3 are some of my favorite games coming from Sweden.

 

[Deerock71]

International Banking and Currency Exchange. Narrated by her:

 

[skit_data]

It’s kinda wierd, I’m honestly not a big fan of any of the big swedish-developed games. I liked Battlefield back in the day but since then not many games have been up my alley. I liked Unravel and Brothers but most of it is kinda meh tbh.

Edit: I should add that I haven’t played It Takes Two yet. It will probably change my perception a bit.

 

[Scotty W]

Definitely cyberpunk.
