The gaming world has long been dominated by American and Japanese developers. However, a shift is occurring, with more regions contributing high-quality games, creating a truly global industry.  China's emergence as a key player is undeniable, initially thriving in its domestic market and now gaining international recognition.

Chinese developers have mastered the free-to-play and gacha models, excelling particularly in mobile gaming due to the limited focus on consoles within the Chinese market.  For years, Chinese-developed MOBAs, battle royales, and action-adventure games have held prominent positions.  With the buzz surrounding Black Myth: Wukong, we can anticipate more exceptional single-player AAA titles coming from China, further solidifying its influence within the gaming industry.

The following are ten of the best games developed by Chinese developers, according to a selection inspired by The Gamer:

10. F.I.S.T.: Forged In Shadow Torch

9. Honkai: Star Rail

8. Honor of Kings

7. Wuthering Waves

6. Naraka: Bladepoint

5. Zenless Zone Zero

4. Genshin Impact

3. Into the Breach

2. Black Myth: Wukong

1. FTL: Faster Than Light

Developed by a team from the now-disbanded 2K China, FTL: Faster Than Light stands out as one of the indie gems of the early 2010s.  Every space opera enthusiast will instantly be captivated by FTL's immersive multitasking gameplay, which encompasses piloting, repairs, shooting, and ship-to-ship combat.

Like many roguelike titles, FTL often presents a brutal challenge, sometimes bordering on impossible.  This game keeps you on the edge of your seat, especially when you risk a path that could lead you straight into a pirate ambush before your hull is ready for such a confrontation.
