Games are not just about experiencing open-world simulations or power fantasies, but a whole range of different emotions, among which laughter and joy often go hand-in-hand with ridiculous situations. The industry is filled with dozens of the funniest titles that readers might have never heard about.
Some of the best games to spend a good time and laugh a lot are in this list. From a soulslike game about a hermit crab looking for its missing shell, to a life-sim where players are turnips and try to fend off moths and survive long enough to live a good life, before rotting away. Here are the top nine funniest games you probably never heard of.

Best Online Co-Op Games On PlayStation Plus Extra & Premium
From PvE FPS games to addictive beat 'em ups, PS Plus has some of the best online co-op games ever.
The game itself forces players to use trash as armor, which, funnily enough, is what happens with most hermit crabs in real life: They end up using human waste as carapaces. It's not only a beautiful game, but its encounters and dialogues are all hilarious. Worth a shot for those who enjoy a good laugh.
8 Alpaca Ball Allstars
A Ridiculous Game, Through And Through (But Still, So Much Fun!)
- Developer: Salt Castle Studio
- Published: October 15, 2020
- Genres: Sports, Adventure
At some point in the sordid history of gaming, an evil genius had the magnificent idea of merging Rocket League and Alpacas, with the physics of Goat Simulator, and the result was Alpaca Ball Allstars, a game that will make players smile more than once, if not laugh like madmen as they try to score while managing a team of ruminant, fluffly beasts.
It is incredible how addictive this game can become if players are not careful, plus, it has shared screen co-op, which makes it even more fun to play with friends (think the madness of Overcooked, but with Alpacas). Strangely enough, the game has extremely good reviews, but few players know about this hidden jewel.
7 Chicken Police - Paint It Red!
A Noir Sleuth Game Starring A Rooster Detective
Chicken Police: Paint It Red
- Released
- November 5, 2020
WHERE TO PLAY
- ESRB
- M for Mature - Blood, Drug Reference, Partial Nudity, Sexual Themes, Strong Language, Violence
- Developer(s)
- The Wild Gentlemen
- Genre(s)
- Visual Novel
- Platform(s)
- PC, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch, Amazon Luna, iOS, Android
Readers probably never heard of the Chicken Police series, starring Sonny Featherland (yes, they made that joke), a Rooster detective trying to solve a widespread conspiracy threatening to destroy his city. He and his partner Marty MacChicken will have to roam the streets of this Noir setting filled with anthropomorphic animals.
Interrogations, incredibly funny dialogues, and intrigue mixed with the chaotic factor that can only be present in a sleuth game, mixed with point and click mechanics, and a visual novel. If readers are interested in a funny and singular game, then Chicken Police will probably suit their tastes.
6 DEEEER Simulator
Things Just Got Deer Serious
- Developer: Gibier Games
- Published: Nov 24, 2021
- Genres: Simulation, Action, Open-World
Madness, mayhem, and most likely murder accompany players wherever they go in this ridiculously funny sandbox simulator game, where they incarnate a vicious deer with supernatural powers and an elastic neck. Moving around the city like Spider-Deer, turning people into deer as a Weredeer would do, and fighting the Sheepolice are only a few of the activities that this 'deer-vilish' game features.
It is so chaotic that the community has created an entire compendium on how to be a Deer in the game (yes, it's not a joke), and the worst part is that it totally makes sense. The game is basically swamped with pop-culture references, and it's pure gold for those who are into satirical sims. See to believe deer readers (OK, I'm going to stop now).
5 Squirrel With A Gun
Someone, Somewhere, Is Thinking Of Trying This At Home
Squirrel with a Gun
- Released
- August 29, 2024
WHERE TO PLAY
- ESRB
- T For Teen // Violence
- Genre(s)
- Action, Third-Person Shooter
- Platform(s)
- PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, Nintendo Switch 2, PC
One day, in the darkest corners of human conscience, a question arose: What would happen if a Squirrel had a Gun? Well, the question became a meme, and the meme, a game developed by Dee Dee Creations LLC. Now, gamers can enjoy the fury of a frenzied rodent using several types of weapons as it goes on a murder spree, looking for its precious acorns.
Readers might think this is just another goofy sim game, but Squirrel with a Gun is actually pretty neat, with tons of fun stunts and cool weapons to try. Its setting is a bit quirky, with many Agents from a 'secret organization' running around and trying to catch the pesky, fluffy menace, and dying miserably under its fury. Grenade launchers, snipers, and even a Gravity Gun: a whole arsenal at the players' disposal, to enjoy intense hours of pure, unbridled chaos.
4 Dinoblade
Why? Because Why Not?
- Developer: Team Spino LLC
- Published: TBD 2026 (Demo Available)
- Genres: RPG, Dinosaurs, Action
What started as an animator pushing the boundaries of what's possible in Unreal Engine, became an in-development game (and he spared no expense) featuring a Spinosaurus holding a huge blade, and fighting against other armed dinosaurs. The game has an estimated release date for 2026, though players can already try a Free Demo downloadable on Steam.
It's reasonable to think that the devs were so preoccupied with whether or not they could that they didn't stop to think if they should. But anyway, the demo is awesome, and the game will surely be even greater. Fun to play, and an absolute novelty for those looking for a different type of RPG.
3 About An Elf
Surreal, Hilarious, Sometimes Even Extreme
- Developer: Meringue Interactive
- Published: Jun 25, 2025
- Genres: Point & click, Visual Novel
If Jojo's Bizarre Adventure's author had developed a game, it would probably be About an Elf, a psychedelic point-and-click/visual novel game with a protagonist who borders on hysteria and sometimes even madness.
Definitely inspired by the '90s fantasy classics, and with an unapologetic satirical twist, About an Elf is a short game, but a memorable one nonetheless. Funny characters, ridiculous dialogues, a maddening soundtrack, and a loudly dressed protagonist with the perfect sidekick: a talking cat.
2 Wildermyth
Procedural Storytelling, Rebellious Characters, And Tons Of Fun
Wildermyth
- Released
- June 15, 2021
WHERE TO PLAY
- ESRB
- T For Teen // Fantasy Violence, Language, Alcohol Reference
- Developer(s)
- Worldwalker Games
- Publisher(s)
- Worldwalker Games
- Genre(s)
- RPG, Tactical
- Platform(s)
- Nintendo Switch, PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S
Combining incredibly versatile storytelling, procedural generation, and tons of potential events, Wildermyth takes the RPG genre into a whole new level. Readers might never have heard of it, but this game is impossible to complete, and there's a good reason for that: No game will be the same as the next. Though it is true that the base game has three separate campaigns where players fight three different world-threatening hordes of enemies, the characters they create will never be the same in the next playthrough.
Characters fall in love with each other (or become eternal rivals), raise children, become heroes, embrace lycanthropy, commune with ancient powers, and many other possible twists that can happen as players roam through the world. Their band of heroes will grow old, and probably retire by the end of each campaign, but new heroes will rise to carry the torch high. It features a turn-based strategic combat system that pairs nicely with its quirky characters.
1 Minabo: A Walk Through Life
The Joy Of Being A Turnip
Minabo: A walk through life
- Released
- April 28, 2023
WHERE TO PLAY
- Developer(s)
- DevilishGames

- DevilishGames
- Genre(s)
- Casual, Indie, Simulation
Minabo: A Walk Through Life is an endearing life-sim game where players become Turnips and form lasting bonds of friendship, love, and rivalry with other tuber-like folk. But the world is dark and full of terrors, so our little Turnip will need to survive the ravages of time, social mishaps, and the fiendish moths that want to feast on their flesh.
It's a sublime and relaxing game, but it has tons of hilarious moments that can bring hundreds of hours of joy to players of all ages. Players will be able to play a 'free-mode' where no playthrough is the same as the previous one. To describe it in a few words: a truly unique experience.
