I am looking for a game that will make me laugh a lot. I already played Disco Elysium and I am currently playing Stanley’s Parable
Portal and Portal 2!
Some of the best comedy writing in any video game series, ever.
Featuring the single best joke ever told in a video game.
And I have no idea which specific joke you’re referring to because so many of them would qualify.
The joke that starts a new chapter…
The older Sam and Max games were great.
People (not me), seemed to really like Thank Goodness You’re Here. Undertale is a popular one. Date Everything seemed funny from what I saw of it, and if playing with friends things like peak, baby steps, or getting over it. Lots of different genres there, but steam also has a tag for comedy games. Even if you don’t end up buying it on steam, you can always check that out in case you don’t get enough options via comments.
Thank goodness you’re here is utterly brilliant. Full of very British humour akin to the Viz comics.
Thank Goodness You’re Here is quite possibly the funniest game I’ve ever played - good suggestion.
Seconding “Thank goodnees you’re here” and “Date everything”!
There Is No Game. It’s not very funny, but still pretty funny.
South Park: The Stick of Truth and its sequel were really funny and the RPG gameplay was a lot more fun than I expected. I’ll also second the recommendation for the Monkey Island series.
Deadpool the game is super funny if you can get it. There is no legal way to get it.
Damm, if there’s no legal way I can’t play it… Just impossible…
I mean i can’t even remember when I first played it how did I acquire it… Arrr…
HITMAN! The core story/cutscenes form a very serious, grim premise. But, the actual gameplay, and the writing of the many dozens of NPCs in each level, is filled with humorous charm and tongue-in-cheek Bond-eque silliness. Characters will acknowledge 47’s often paper-thin disguises, make silly remarks about excuses to take off early, or alluding to how horrible it would be if some freak accident occurred. Plus, the mechanics can involve things like dropping banana peels for people to slip on, or luring people with a cartoony explosive rubber duck.
It takes a bit of time to get used to how the game wants you to explore, and stop trying to brute-force it like a stealth game. Quite often, some of the main intended ways of going about a mission involve little to no stealth. It’s a lot of fun and very replayable.
The original ace Attorney trilogy is pretty good with humor, some people enjoy the humor in the somnium files, yazuka zero’s side content is pretty funny.
The Monkey Island games come to mind. A Bard’s Tale maybe?
You fight like a cow
I got this scar on my face during a mighty struggle
Good joke games are rare.
If you like narrative games I would recommend “Dr. Langeskov, The Tiger, and The Terribly Cursed Emerald: A Whirlwind Heist”. It is very short (15 minutes), but it is good, and it is free: https://store.steampowered.com/app/409160
Another silly game with lots of jokes in it is “Kraken Academy!!”: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1158220
