Blackguards is basically just the combat system of The Dark Eye put into videogame form.

Notably, every single videogame conversion of the rules features a 'pick a character template and don't worry about the sub-sub-stats' character creation that is almost always recommended over trying to learn how the rules work.

The best videogame to use DSA rules was Realms of Arkania: Star Trail, but the things that are good about it had nothing to do with the basic mechanics it used.

Darklands is completely unrelated and is a game set in Germany, not a German game. It's actually co-designed by Sandy Petersen of Chaosium fame.

eye divine cybermancy is really really bad. They promise you like ten million different ways to play the game, and while ostensibly this is the case, you're better off just shooting everyone with the gun you get in the tutorial of the game because it is literally the easiest most effective option in every scenario.

STALKER is legit great (and the tabletop rpg based on Roadside Picnic is also great)

Sorry EYE Divine Cybermancy fans, it's just an amazingly boring game
