Best video games to learn Dutch

Updated 2026-11-04. Rankings are not paid for.

Brukel is the most personal Dutch-language game, and Uncharted gives the most polished Dutch voice work.

Dutch voice acting is rare, but some big games include it. A small Belgian game also offers something unique, with real recordings of a grandmother's wartime memories.

What to expect from Dutch

Dutch is close to English and German, so much vocabulary will look familiar.
Word order changes in side clauses, where the verb moves to the end.
The sounds written g and ui take practice.
Belgian and Dutch speech differ, so expect some variety.

Tips for learning Dutch with games

Replay scenes with subtitles first, then without.
Notice where the verb goes in longer sentences.
