Weirdly - Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. Despite whole game’s emotional atmosphere being pretty heavy, I think it had very good humor moments in it, I actually laughed out loud few times. Maybe a part of it is that it took me by surprise but I appreciate wittiness of these lighter moments.
But I know the feel - games that expand their emotional range often get the best reactions because moving to an extreme of seriousness, sadness, or even humor, can shock the player.
!When Verso tries to recruit Monoco to go to old Lumière, Monoco is like “No thanks, after last time I made a promise to never follow you again”, to which Verso responds “There’ll be lots of fights…”, and Monoco is like “I’ll follow you anywhere!”. The delivery is a lot better obviously.!<
Exactly the scene that came to my mind when responding to this thread, delivery was perfect - especially that you don’t know the dynamic at that point yet. Didn’t play with french voice over but they did a stellar job with english one. They also must’ve had a lot of fun recording these scenes.
Small suggestion though - I’m not sure if I wouldn’t hide this behind a spoiler, you never know which detail might affect someone’s experience.
I really want to try it, also because I am studying French and it has full voice over. Problem is, I never managed to play JRPGs, so I am afraid I would be throwing money away.
Cyberpunk 2077, you have to save two of the most incompetent cops that exist. For such a dark and depressing universe, whenever there are hints of humor those always get me.
It actually happens fairly frequently, but almost entirely as reaction to unexpected gameplay moments as opposed to any deliberate comedy written in by the designers. Some of that can be funny too, but only really to the point of a grin or light chuckle.
I remember a moment playing BG 3 when one of my characters just got yeeted into lava literally at the start of the fight. I laughed my ass off then went on with what ended up being probably a much more difficult than intended fight.
Sometimes it can be something as simple as the physics or an NPC bugging out.
Idle Champions of the Forgotten Realms has an Android version. It’s F2P, though with many ways to buy stuff, but you can totally enjoy that game without spending a penny. Did so for years, though I eventually spent a few bucks as a thank you, given I have about 8000 hours logged on the steam version.
Also Watcher of Realms is a standout of the Gatcha like hero battlers which I much prefer to the likes of RAID.
Unsure of how much you need a Google acount though as I use mine for Android stuff anyways.
“Backfirewall_” from a little while back. A masterpiece that deserved more attention! Highly recommend to anyone here who is big on tech (especially programmers)!
The Dragon Quest games make me laugh all the time. The NPC dialogues are beautifully written, and frequently have little humorous elements in them. The monster designs and animations are also often funny in their own ways.
Several times in Yakuza Kiwami, courtesy of Majima Everywhere system. Basically, you arrive in town completely weak and this dude who is also a yakuza, called Goro Majima, takes it upon himself to “train you up”. For the player this means having to fight him all the time. At first, it’s just meeting him on the street. Then, he starts making ambushes around corners. Then, he starts dressing up as a cop just so he can have an excuse to beat you up. THEN he starts muscling into fights he didn’t even start and it just gets more and more ridiculous from there. I found it super funny just how annoying they made him. In a good way, though!
Thronefall got an android port. Not sure how to get it without google but I played it on steam, its like round based, you setup defenses and then fight off a wave. You can back out and come back to the next wave later, at least on desktop.
When you finish a level you unlock new perks and challenges so you can redo the levels to get better scores and stuff.
