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

    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 quite possibly the funniest game I’ve ever played - good suggestion.

      Thank goodness you’re here is utterly brilliant. Full of very British humour akin to the Viz comics.

      It can be a little moon logic at times and might be frustrating to play without a guide, but yeah it’s great and quite 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.

    Grim Fandango!

    Never has a game made me laugh out loud like when I first discovered it. Clever humour, unique characters, and each line of dialogue is packed with effortless charm and wit. Not to mention the philosophical themes disguised as one man’s quirky Day of the Dead -themed quest to get to the afterlife.

    The puzzles are a product of its time so a walkthrough might be needed. But that’s forgivable for the game’s big picture.

    Wish I could wipe my memory of it and play it all over again.

    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.

      Also, because the conversations have to be so exposition heavy to drop all the relevant hints, it makes some exchanges seem soap-opera-like and absurd. I love it.

      I was surprised how much it’s able to hold its laughter to tell a worthwhile story. It makes sense, because every single line just being pure parody/silliness can get really grating.

      And Unepic is a spoof of RPGs (same author). Funny, but atrocious controls and some sort of pay to win/real money shop I never truly understood.

    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.
