I`m looking for games in which knowledge of English is not necessary. Maybe someone could do a gog mix with this kind of games?

Ah ah, nice trolling :-D
*facepalm what did you expect to find hindi games here :O
Lay off the guy, people, he's asking a legitimate question. I assume he doesn't mean "games that contain no English words whatsoever", but simply "games where understanding English isn't paramount to enjoying the experience".

My kid doesn't speak English, but he plays tons of English-language games. As long as you understand "New game", "Load game", "Save game" and "Quit game", there's tons of games you can play just fine. Planescape Torment is out of course, but most action games don't require much in the way of reading.

As a rough guide, these genres usually contain too much text that can't safely be ignored:
Adventure
RPG
Strategy

While these are usually fine to play without much knowledge of English:
Platformer
Shooter
FPS
Racing
looking at my account, i can reccomend earthworm jim 1+2 and cannon fodder, both only need limited reading skills to be completely understood.

Wishbone is correct. Racing games don't have stories, though you should avoid those with a copilot telling you stuff (although both of those are no longer for sale here). Shooters story is just there to give the game some meaning, though most of the time you don't really need it. Sometimes you might end up having to do something that does not involve shooting and you may be confused when everyone is dead and the level is not over yet.

Off the top of my head...


Tyrian: Free game, arcade shooter.

Unreal Tournament 2k4: Shoot at everything that moves, collect pills and use combos, try to reach a score of 25 before anyone else does.

Painkiller: haven't played it, but i guess it falls on the shoot everything that moves category.
From my own GOGs I'd have to add Blood and Duke Nukem 3D to the list. The first MDK should be no more obscure if you don't understand the text.

Painkiller is actually better if you completely ignore the plot.
You can try Die by the Sword. Understanding the English language is not mandatory to finding different ways to lop off creatures' limbs.
oh well if its a serious question then i would recommend
1.postal series specially postal classic and uncut all you have to do kill everything on screen
2. raptor 2010 edition :- all you have to do is evade and kill
3.unreal tournament goty

- Another World - Almost no English at all.
- Battle Chess - same case as with AW
- Chessmaster 9000 - menu is in english
- Combat Chess - english menu
- Syberia - you can change language to French, so you won't need to know English.
Depending on your language, you can look through this list of GOGs which contain multiple languages built-in and/or has patches translating the games.

The reason it hasn't been updated in a while is because I have received no more reports of multilingual games or patches, not because I have abandoned it (I haven't).
