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.

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.
