If you've been around Reddit, forums or watch certain channels on Youtube (like Super Best Friends Play), you may have come across the term Eurojank. In case you don't know what that means, Eurojank is a catch-all term for games that are:
[li]Made in Europe of course, especially Eastern Europe, although the latter is not a requirement[/li]
[li]Generally very ambitious, despite their often modest budget, with a strong focus on gameplay depth over graphic fidelity/overall presentation.[/li]
[li]Usually buggy and unpolished in one or more aspects (i.e. clunky controls, unintuitive UI, poor animation and/or voice acting, etc), hence the 'jank'.[/li]
TLDR: ambitious, but flawed B-tier games made in (Eastern) Europe.
Yeah, Eurojank is a pretty condescending term, but it more or less gets the point across.
Anyway, on to the actually point: what is your favorite flavor of Eurojank?
