I was thinking about playing High on Life shortly after the release but I’ve seen a few reviews that depict the game (or maybe just the jokes) as so-so.
I think Portal 2 is probably one of my favorite games that has a lot of humor at it’s core. But I can’t say I’ve played a ton of games where that is a front-and-centre core element. I know there are some cult classics out there that I haven’t gotten around to playing yet like Conker’s Bad Fur Day and Psychonauts.
It also doesn’t need to be an entire game. The Hotline Miami 2 workshop content GARFIELD CAMPAIGN made me laugh.
Edit: Bonus points/extra challenge if it’s not on PC. While I do game almost exclusively on PC I would be curious to hear what’s out there for handhelds like GBC, PS Vita, 3DS, PS2, PSX, and so on.

Left for Dead 2 has a mod that turns the zombies into Teletubbies.
Game with comedy at its core?
Jazzpunk. It’s an absurdist spy thriller. VERY absurdist. Every stage is basically a bit.
Jazzpunk is like the Naked Gun of games
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.
Fun fact: There’s a fan-made Unity port of the Stanley Parable for PS Vita
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 mean yeah, it’s absolutely that.
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).
Counter Strike 1.6 undeniably the best mod ever (for those who don’t know started as a Half-Life mod).
Now if you don’t have any friends to play with i would suggest CS: Condition Zero (Deleted Scenes)
It’s basically a single player campaign that, while it’s pretty rough on the edges, it still serves as a fun, single player diversion.
Disclaimer: if you get stuck on a mission just watch a Youtube walkthrough.
TIL Counterstrike is a comedy

Octodad: Dadliest Catch is one of only 2 games that ever made me laugh so hard I cried. The other has already been mentioned in this thread (Jazzpunk)
The South Park games are fun, I liked Stick of Truth more than Fractured But Whole but they’re both enjoyable and funny if you like that kind of humor
Postal 2 is pretty amazing
There is a mod made for Halo: Custom Edition called “Cursed Halo”. The creator, Inferno Plus, has made three versions, now, and the newest is for Halo: Master Chief Collection. The humour is abundant, and it is an absolute ride when he makes a new version.
