Thank Goodness You're Here was probably the biggest surprise of 2024 for me. A tiny two-hour indie game where you literally just stroll around Yorkshire helping the locals with their menial requests outdid AAA juggernauts like Silent Hill 2 and Black Myth: Wukong and became one of my favorite games of the year. And while the game itself is a fun little adventure game in its own right, what makes it shine is the fact it's probably the funniest game I've ever played.
Wandering around a town and seeing signs like "Bring Back Asbestos," dealing with a rodent problem in the 'Price Shaggers' supermarket only to venture into a mini market called 'Mice Shaggers,' and a recurring gag about a Princess Diana memorial plate. Literally every second of screen time of the game is filled with something to laugh about, and it's so funny that I didn't even list Matt Berry being in it as one of the highlights there.
