Microids at a Glance

Microïds is a French publisher and developer founded in 1985 that currently holds 163 games on PlayPile. The company operated with very little output during its first few years, releasing only three titles in the 1980s and eighteen in the 1990s. Their catalog expanded to twenty-five games in the 2000s and thirty-four in the 2010s. Activity increased significantly in the 2020s, where they published eighty titles. This growth follows a period of rebranding after being part of MC2 France in late 2007 and joining Anuman in early 2010. The company focuses heavily on Adventure games with ninety-five releases, followed by thirty-nine Puzzle titles and twenty-seven Point-and-click entries. Their catalog spans PC, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S platforms. They also support older systems like DOS and modern mobile devices through Mac, iOS, and Android ports. While they handle both publishing and development roles, the majority of their listed titles are published rather than developed from scratch. Their average IGDB rating stands at 65.7 out of 100 across sixty-nine rated titles. The breakdown shows a moderate performance with ten great games scoring above 80 and thirty-nine good titles falling between 60 and 79. There are seventeen mixed reviews ranging from 40 to 59 and three poor scores below 40. Recent releases show inconsistent quality. Syberia: Remastered received a score of 63.5 in November 2025, while Agatha Christie: Death on the Nile scored higher at 83.5 in September 2025. The highest-rated games include Asterix & Obelix: Slap Them All! from 2021 with an 86 score and Corsairs: Conquest at Sea from 1999 with 84.4. Upcoming titles like Corsairs: Battle of the Caribbean are scheduled for release in May 2026. The publisher continues to operate through 2026 with a steady stream of new games across various genres.
