Didn’t play many of this but - Voyage, Gateway, Mission Critical, The Daedalus Encounter, J.U.L.I.A., and The Journeyman Project 3 to an extent. Funny, all of these are 1st-persons. Grin

Good list, I’d add Dark Side of the Moon and second the mention of RAMA earlier. Also not quite sure why JP3 is there.

I would like to enquire about truly comedic adventure games.
Some of the more memorable games I’ve played were the Curse of Monkey Island,
Grim Fandango and Discworld Noir.
Was wondering if anyone knows of a title that really made you laugh out loud.

Would prefer more recent (last 10 years or so) if possible for ease of play and acquiring.
Any recommendations?

Yes but much too long ago to remember what happened.

My favourites from recent years were Edna & Harvey: The Breakout and A Vampyre Story. You might also like the episodic Sam & Max games.

Callahan’s Crosstime Saloon, but that’s a 1997 game, so it may be too old for your taste.
Also the Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney series (especially the first and third installments), but those are DS games.

Latest adventure game that made me laugh out loud was the Book of Unwritten Tales. Larry Reloaded has some good laughs as well. Out of action/adventure hybrids Deathspank 2 hit my funny bone as well.

Al Emmo is one of the funniest recent comedies.

Stanley Parable is hilarious but not a classic style of adventure.
Psychonauts also very funny but more of a platformer.
I’d also recommend the Phoenix Wright series on DS or iOS/android.
Had some good chuckles in the first Deponia but seems to be a very polarizing game.

I can second both Edna & Harvey: The Breakout, Sam & Max, The Book of Unwritten Tales and The Stanley Parable, all but especially The Stanley Parable had me laughing out loud.

Edit: I almost forgot Deponia which also made me LOL several times.

I’ll add my voice to Edna and Harvey - The Breakout.

I think I can add my voice to The Book Of Unwritten Tales as well, the only caveat being I’ve only just started it (got as far as Wilbur into Seastone - trying to break the server at the moment). Loads of mickey taking references to the fantasy world so far and I’m expecting loads more to come.

I enjoyed the Phoenix Wright games, but finished them all.
Have never been a fan of Sam & Max so that’s out.
The Book of Unwritten Tales was something I could not get into.
Same for Deponia, I hated the character so much.

I did try a vampyre story once. Never finished but I can’t remember
what I thought of the game.

Edna & Harvey pictures creeps me out, but I’ll give it a try.
And the Stanley Parable is lying here somewhere waiting to be played,
so I’ll install it.

Thnx for the recommendations
