THE STANLEY PARABLE
Humor is subjective and hard to do well. Double that in video games where many of the elements that make humor possible are not in the control of the presenter. The Stanley Parable defies that by being some of the funniest writing and video game experiences I have ever encountered. The way the game plays out it is very hard to talk about it without spoiling it. Even saying there is stuff to spoil is a spoiler. There is a free demo you can play that is also great and contains all original content so you get a feel for The Stanley Parable without diminishing the experience. A few months ago I played What Remains of Edith Finch and that game had an emotional impact that almost made me tear up, The Stanley Parable on the other hand made my cry from laughing to hard.
...secret under the screenshot bonus!
If you liked The Stanley Parable or are just looking for another funny game to play I also recommend Dr. Langeskov, The Tiger, and The Terribly Cursed Emerald : A Whirlwind Heist. It's free and by some of the same people as The Stanley Parable. It's an amazing 30 minute production that I can't recommend enough.
