You’re probably thinking “aren’t all good games supposed to be fun games?” Well, yes, that’s absolutely true but there are fun games and then there are fun games. There is a difference, even if it’s a little hard to pin down.

A lot of games have a kind of seriousness about them. Maybe they deal with complex, adult themes, seeking to evoke a deep emotional response in you. They might aspire to artistic ideals, looking to layer the game experience in deeper meaning. They might hope to be educational — teaching something about yourself and video games or perhaps even a real-world skill.

All of which are fantastic things for a game to want to be! Video games now is such a big medium that there’s space for any kind of game you can imagine. It’s only right that many of them should want to be the best there is artistically, or narratively.

The games we’re talking about in this section have nothing to do with any of that. Or maybe you could say that they’re just as serious but the important thing for them is fun itself! These games are just pure fun that anyone can pick up and enjoy without too much thought or commitment. These games tend to be more forgiving, and will try to make you laugh rather than sweat.

You’ll be able to play as a range of colorful characters, and take part in a wide variety of different activities — all of which are on the silly side.

Of course, video games have been fun from the beginning. They would never have become the phenomenon they are today if they weren’t. As complicated as they can be now, video games still live or die on how much fun they offer the player. It’s why so many games now use a core gameplay loop as a proof of their idea before they build a whole game: fun needs to be at the heart of everything they do. You can’t add it later.

Before fancy graphics and convoluted storylines were possible, great gameplay and wacky character design were there and your imagination did the rest.

Just think about how Mario might have looked if it hadn’t been for the graphical limitations of the time. And what about Donkey Kong? Would a gorilla with a red tie have been a first choice of villain?

Despite how improbable they might be, these characters have gone on to become icons in a way that many more serious protagonists haven’t. We remember them not because they were unflinching studies in realism, but because they were fun. The truth is that many gamers prefer not to take things too seriously. There will always be a demand for games that exist just for the fun of it.

Fun games aren’t necessarily funny. Humor does feature in many video games, whether from the gameplay itself, or from the content of the story and the attitudes of the characters. From South Park to ToeJam & Earl, some games have planted a flag firmly in comedy and never looked back. Those games can be a lot of fun too but the focus needs to stay on the fun, not the funny, if they’re going to feature here. Normally that means humorous gameplay instead of jokes!
