15 Most Hilariously Written Video Games Of All Time

10. Fez

Choice Quote: "You can't read it? Foolish reader!" - Old villager No usually thought of as a game with a humorous identity, genius one-time developer Phil Fish's incredibly dense and detailed 2D platformer Fez arrived in 2012 with so much impact it imprinted a little fez-shape on our collective psyches. Playing as Gomez, a creature who after donning the titular hat realises his world is not the 2D plane he was brought up to believe, and instead he can manipulate perspectives to traverse items and locations in 3D. If it sounds complicated, it's really not, as when you train your brain to look at any particular level and imagine what the sides of it would look like, you'll be climbing towers and finding relics all over the place in no time. But alongside this the thing that'll keep you journeying until the end is the way the game has been written. At the very start you'll come across other 2D sprites happily inhabiting their village, saying such things to you as "How perfectly flat you're looking today!" as well as a small guiding light that accompanies you, elaborating on the mysticism of the world with a nonchalance that's very refreshing for the genre.
