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.

Finland also has a Sesame Street-like heavy metal band of dinosaurs making educational and children-appropriate heavy metal music for kids:

Keep it coming I say! Noita is easily my favorite game of all time. There's an insane amount of depth and replayability.

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

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...
Almost everyone there speaks English and very well. Never had any problem communicating.
Sam Lake is Finnish and did Max Payne, no?
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.
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.
And My Summer Car
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?
Noita is amazing.
Darkness, alcohol, and a lack of oil
this sounds more like a dunk on norway for some reason
which i am all for

Boredom breeds creativity.
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 ~~existance~~ latitude if you would be so kind as to bless me with your knowledge and grace

I know how fucked up and/or weird everything else here is but...
What the hell is wrong with Baba is You?
Its secret ending has a secret ending. The secret ending within the secret ending also has a secret ending.
To reach each of them you have to recontextualize what you thought the basic assumptions of game were to do something that's almost impossible.
Isn't that the whole game, though? Recontextualizing things to solve puzzles? I was thinking maybe it had a fucked up story or lore; I've never actually played it, but I hella want to because the premise of swapping game mechanics with words and such sounds awesome.
