Anyone know of any games that take place in England? :) I recently found a game that I had been overlooking for years because I didn't know it took place in England, and I hate the thought that I'm missing out on any more! :P

(I know a lot of strategy-type games take place in an early England, but those usually feel like they could be set anywhere.) London, the countryside or the coast, doesn't matter.

I have played (and loved) the Dark Falls, Barrow Hill, The Lost Crown, Contradiction, Black Mirror, and The Sherlock Holmes games. I know of Gray Matter and Everybody's Gone to the Rapture, they're on my to-play list.

Thanks for any recommendations you may have!
I always liked the old school FMV games sherlock holmes consulting detective on sega cd and PC. I wish GOG would get the new HD versions like steam did.

I'm a huge Sherlock Holmes fan, how did I miss those?! Thanks for pointing those out, going on my wishlist!

FYI, recommendations don't have to be just GOG.

Midtown Madness 2, that was in London. Probably not the genre you're after though.

Edit: it wasn't very accurate anyway. It never rains, how can it be in London if it never rains?

So are these any games set in London? or are they historic period genres aka 1800-1900's games?

otherwise here are some:
- The Getaway
- Grand Theft Auto: London
- Streets of London
- Vampire: The Masquerade - Redemption
- Werewolves of London
- ZombiU or Zombi (Depends on system)
- Bloodborne
- Assassin's Creed: Syndicate
- Tomb Raider 3
- The Order: 1886
- Hellgate: London
- Fable (Well they sound english haha)
- Sherlock Holmes: The Devil's Daughter

I didn't know Personal Nightmare takes place in England. It sure does look exciting! Thanks! And I'll definitely be looking into Conquest if it ever makes it to GOG or Steam. :)

I don't mind most genres, so it's fine. Looks fun, and if it were easier to get ahold of, I would! :)

Any games are fine, doesn't have to be historical. Thanks for your list! I have heard of most of them. I'm afraid I only have a PC, which rule out a few of them.

Yep, I've played that one. Thanks!

Fantasysci5: snip....
Apart from the ones that already have been cited, there's "Sir, you are being hunted" which is so British.....

Also, Britain is available in Euro Truck Simulator 2 so you can drive from Dover to Edinburgh or Plymouth and other cities.

Sherlock Holmes Consulting Detective and its many expansions. I know it's a "boardgame" but it's one that you can play by yourself. No dice involved, just skills in investigating. A lot of reading, going through clues, through maps etc. all in Victorian London. It's pretty much a must for Sherlock Holmes (and London) addicts.

Hmm... I think Alter Ego and Dark Years : London
Mobil 1 Rally Championship I absolutely loved its super long rally stages.
Ben There, Dan That! and Time Gentlemen, Please.
Here is a [url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Video_games_set_in_England]list[/url] of games set in England. It's probably not complete, but you should find something new there.
