List of Climax games
This list contains games from Climax Studios, a British game development company most notable for its entries in the Silent Hill franchise. They are also known for their porting of various games. In 1999, the studio merged with three other UK studios to form Climax Group, but the group eventually dissolved, leaving Climax Studios once again a solo company.[1] Several of their games, including an MMO based in the popular Warhammer setting, were cancelled after they were announced; they are not included in this list.
