5. Gang Beasts

Gang Beasts isn't the most complex of games. A group of players are tasked with taking control of weird, play-dough fighters and told to beat the ever loving hell out of each other and eventually throw them out the arena. However, the problem is that your characters handle like jelly, and you're as much of a threat to yourself as you are to anyone else.

Though there have been plenty of physics-based PC games that attempt to get a laugh out of players purely by being intentionally obnoxious to control, Gang Beasts has the gameplay to back up its gimmick. Being able to transform anything you can get your hands on into a weapon and use the environment to your advantage, the unpredictable nature of the fights and controls means any player stands a chance of winning. Yeah, it's not very sophisticated, but damn is it fun.

Gang Beasts is pure, party game fun, and while it might not be as technically polished as the rest of the games on this list, it'll give you more laughs than all of them combined.
