Brave Giant

Brave Giant at a Glance

Brave Giant is a developer and publisher based in Novi Sad, Serbia that began operations in 2008. The company started by creating physical board games such as Guardians of Light, Fame by Frame, and The Farm. In 2013, the studio shifted its focus entirely to digital titles for PC, Mac, iOS, and Android before expanding further. They have released 16 games on PlayPile, with every single one developed in-house. Their catalog spans three decades of activity from 2014 through 2023, though the majority of their work appeared in the 2010s with 10 releases compared to 6 titles in the 2020s. The studio has a clear preference for puzzle and adventure games. They have produced 16 puzzle titles and 15 adventure games, often blending these genres together. Point-and-click mechanics appear in seven of their projects, while they have only dabbled in role-playing games twice. Their platform reach is broad, with versions available on PC, Mac, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Linux. Mobile support exists but is less consistent across iOS and Android devices compared to their desktop presence. Quality varies significantly within their library. The average rating across eight rated titles sits at 61.3 out of 100. While they have two great entries in the 80+ range, most of their work falls into mixed territory. Queen's Quest 2: Stories of Forgotten Past from 2017 stands out as a high point with a score of 90. Demon Hunter 4: Riddles of Light also performed well at 80. However, the company has several titles rated in the low 50s or worse, including Demon Hunter: Chronicles from Beyond and Noir Chronicles: City of Crime. Recent output includes Space Cowboys: Riders of the Storm in July 2023 and Cleaning Queens in February 2023. These newer releases have not yet achieved the same critical acclaim as their earlier puzzle hits. Players browsing PlayPile should expect a studio that excels in specific puzzle subgenres but maintains an inconsistent track record for overall quality across its full catalog.
