What’s sad is that Starfield was expected to be the next big RPG. The next Skyrim but in space.
Instead, most people are likely going to come out of their experience with the game with a “meh” opinion about it. It’s solidly middle-tier.
If there’s anything to be said, the visuals are incredible, but everything else is a retread of mechanics pulled from other games (most notably, half the ideas are taken from No Man’s Sky).
Its a bit extreme, but crack-life for half-life. You know there are some people saying they get brain rot from memes? This is like the bottom of a sinkhole for your iq. Every sound is some random effect, the wortigons have afros, the headcrabs are British, your hud is in webdings, the soldiers speak in old tts and the smg has infinite fast firing grenade launcher.
Is a lot, and while you are lost in a word where nothing makes sense, you are losing your ass off. If that’s isn’t enough, there’s a standalone mod, that’s even stupider, even bigger, even more bizarre.
But it’s probably not for everyone, its very 2000 edgy humor, so if it’s not your thing, don’t force yourself with it (might wanna check some vids, Jolly has a good ones, but i think he deleted it some time ago).
When it comes to “classic” comedy, then Hi-Fi Rush is one of the highlights in recent times. Not only are there a lot of jokes in the dialogue that landed for me, all the cutscenes are also loaded with perfectly timed visual gags. Lots of humour hidden in the environment as well.
Other than that, any “serious” game that has a wonky physics engine can accidentally be pretty funny on accident. Slinging around corpses in Dark Souls 1 for example.
Wholly dependent on the game. Lots of Indies feel like decent, self contained games ranging from 3-8 hours of gameplay. Gris, Inside, Abzu, Thomas Was Alone, etc.

There’s a massive spreadsheet that’s linked on the reddit equivalent that tracks and breaks down handheld features, price points, and what consoles it can reasonably emulate too
The Stanley Parable, although it couldn’t be further from High on Life in terms of its comedy. Personally I don’t love the game but it’s absolutely hilarious.
I tried the game and it really wasn’t a fun experience for me. It’s just an overpriced walking simulator with some not really funny dialog playing.
All I did was trying to find bugs because I wanted to uninstall after 30 mins, when I figured out it’s not just the start that is slow, it’s the entire “game”
I have heard great things about NMS, but I like generally games with ending, even with arcade game, I enjoy them more if there is some goal you can work towards. So, I feel maybe I won’t like it much.
