Are there any games set in Africa? Yes, in fact, I know at least 15 video games set in the lands of Africa. All set-in different periods and different regions of the continent. But to me, the most interesting games set in Africa are the prehistoric ones. Because it’s the place of origin of humans.
There is one downside though. All video games set in Africa are made by westerners. So, in these games, you’ll be experiencing Africa from the eyes of westerners. Is it a bad thing? Not sure, because the world is now globalized like never before.
Games, movies, and documentaries about Africa worth your time. You can learn culture, people, geography, biome, religion, history, and more about the second most populated + second biggest continent of earth.
Africa games:
1. Africa Help
2. Crusader Kings III
3. Europa Universalis IV
4. Democracy 3
5. Age of Empires II + IV
6. Ayo: A Rain Tale
7. 80 Days
If you want a look into the culture of different African countries, I’d recommend 80 Days. It’s a graphical adventure where you take on Phileas Fogg’s adventure around the world, but you get to choose his path. You have 26 towns and cites in Africa where you can go sightseeing or talk to the local population.
8. Wanderlust: Travel Stories
serengeti
9. Ancestors: The Humankind Odyssey
Set in Africa 10 million years ago.
10. Far Cry 2
11. Civilization 6
12. Assassin’s Creed: Origins
Egypt is the crown jewel of Africa continent.
13. Builders of Egypt
14. Resident Evil 5
15. Afrika
Assassin’s Creed Freedom Cry does not set in Africa but it’s all about saving the African slaves from European suppressors. So, if that’s the kind of stuff you’re looking for, go get Assassin’s Creed Freedom Cry, it’s amazing.
