No matter the medium, comedy is the hardest thing to get right. It’s even more of a challenge to objectively review. What I laugh at (farts, puns, and dirty jokes) won’t be the same as a meme-loving fan of Skibidi Toilet, for example. The struggle to be funny is even more true of video games which, in recent years especially, have had a tough time consistently delivering laughs.
When I think of comedy games, there are a few that instantly jump to mind like Monkey Island, Portal, and The Stanley Parable, but even they aren’t universally agreed upon. Then there are games like Borderlands, Bulletstorm, and High On Life, which you can’t bring up without starting heated debates about their humour. Thank Goodness You’re Here won’t be universal either, but my god is it hilarious.
