5. Thank Goodness You're Here

Probably the funniest game released this year, Thank Goodness You're Here is an unrelentingly charming indie puzzler in which, as a traveling salesman, you attempt to help the locals of the quirky English town of Barnsworth.

Not entirely unlike Untitled Goose Game, you're let loose in a town where you cross paths with a bevy of oddball characters, though the focus here is less on gameplay than unleashing upon the player a distinctly British brand of comedy.

Through both the environmental storytelling and unforgettable cast of characters, Thank Goodness You're Here is a rarest of things - a genuine laugh-a-minute video game that'll tickle your funny bone whether you're au fait with British culture or not.

If you're craving challenging gameplay there are other games to seek out, but if you're in the market for a breezy three-hour detour, there are few better answers. 

Naturally though, its rather niche brand of humour has prevented it from having a mainstream breakout.
