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.
The Dragon Quest series has lots of comedic moments and dialogue, but its a very specific brand of a bit antiquated japanese humor that falls flat for some people.
Xenoblade 2 as well, especially in the cutscenes, and the dialogue delivered by the cutesey mascot “Nopon” race characters.
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.
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
High on Life is full of jokes from beginning to end. There is a surprising amount of detail and commitment to most of the jokes. It’s a shame about Justin Roiland though.

There Is No Game. It’s not very funny, but still pretty funny.
KIngdom of Loathing

Have you got the deluxe edition of Stanley parable? It really got me laughing how much it jokes about sequels.
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…
It’s rather dry humor but I had a pretty good amount of laughs and chuckles from “Thomas Was Alone”
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.
If you’re enjoying The Stanley Parable, you’ll probably like Do Not Press The Button To Destroy The Multiverse.
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

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.
West of Loathing and Shadows over Loathing are two really funny and silly games.
Kingdom of Loathing is probably one of the best games ever imo
Played it over a decade ago but Jazzpunk remains very fond in my memory. Can highly recommend it
I think there’s free “prequels” or other ones from both series, if you wanted to test your reaction to the humour.
