  • Lots of humour
  • Action-packed real-time combat
  • Lavish presentation

A loud, foul-mouthed FPS that rewards creative carnage: leash, kick and environmental traps earn skill points for the most outrageous kills. Its crude humor and over-the-top set pieces make it a gleefully absurd arcade shooter.

Deadpool

Lots of humour

A chaotic hack-and-slash shooter where Deadpool constantly breaks the fourth wall and cracks crude jokes while carving through an absurd revenge plot against Mister Sinister. The humor carries the game more than its solid but simple combat.

Family Guy: Back to the Multiverse

Accessible and relaxed

A third-person co-op shooter set in the Family Guy universe, where Stewie and Brian blast through parallel dimensions. The crude, irreverent show humor takes priority over the gameplay.

High on Life

Accessible and relaxed

A brightly colored first-person shooter drenched in Rick and Morty-style humor, where you fight an alien drug cartel alongside talkative, sassy living guns. Jokes and inventive weapon abilities take priority over challenge.

Armed and Dangerous

Strong, story-driven narrative

A tongue-in-cheek third-person shooter from LucasArts in which a ragtag rebel crew including a robot and a mole pulls off a heist in a fantasy world, armed with absurd weapons like the shark gun. Its zany humor and over-the-top arsenal are the main draw.

Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy

Lavish presentation

As Star-Lord you lead the bickering Guardians through a linear, cinematic space adventure packed with banter and an '80s soundtrack. In combat you direct your team's special moves. Its real strength is a heartfelt, funny story about a found family.

Ratchet & Clank: Up Your Arsenal

Lavish presentation

A humorous third-person shooter-platformer where Ratchet and Clank take on the megalomaniacal Dr. Nefarious with a huge, upgradeable weapon arsenal. Besides the campaign it offers online multiplayer modes and co-op, and weapons level up through use.

Ratchet & Clank: All 4 One

Lavish presentation

A colorful co-op adventure where Ratchet, Clank, Qwark and even the villain Nefarious team up to blast enemies and hop through platforming sections. Wacky weapons, teamwork and plenty of humor are the focus.

Daxter

Accessible and relaxed

Daxter sends the wisecracking ottsel through Haven City as a pest exterminator, wielding a bug swatter and spray instead of Jak's weapons. This PSP adventure blends platforming action with plenty of humor and movie parodies.
