German retail releases playable in English

[Monokuma]

Hi,
Unfortunately pc games in English are not sold in retail anymore, so a lot of people like me are turning to German retail releases. The thing is that we have no information about the languages supported in those releases. A lot of them contain English voices and/or text, so they are fully playable right out of the box, but the only way to know is to blindly buy them and then see for ourselves.

So I'm asking if any of you have bought those actual releases to write the languages supported. It would be a great help to all of us.

Please specify the release. There are cases where the standard release had only German voices and text, but the Collector's Edition (or the Collected edition with the whole series) actually had both German and English voices and text or even better multilingual support. Also there are some games that have only voices or only text in English, besides the German one, so please be specific.

Here's a list of games that I'm personally interested but feel free to add information about any other release you know.

Obviously we are interested in games that don't have an official English language release and don't use steam that makes you re-download the English version.

I cannot confirm this. I own this title on gog.com and it's English only there, voice over as well as subtitles.

I think they are only interested in the retail-versions and not download-versions. Albeit I think the retail version of Memoria has more than only the german Audio and Sub. If I don't forget it, I will check end of the week.

Big Brain Wolf (Voice: English screen text/Subtitles: German according to amazon.de)
