Ever watched a favorite YouTuber play a funny game and wanted to play it with your buds? Comedically bad (or strategically good) sandbox games can give a group of friends some laughs that watching a funny video couldn’t recreate.
Compiled below are riveting options of popular sandbox simulations that can be played with up to two or more people for Saturdays with the boys.
10 Paunch (PC)
A wide-open field surrounded by large, frosted mountains and eagles surfing above. What could be more romantic? What could be more romantic is a 1v1 duel to the death wearing nothing but sumo undies and fighting with nothing but fists. And sometimes rocks.
In Paunch, players duel other players online and smack and punch each other until someone gets KO’d. The big, almost-naked bald men and rag-dolling effect is a plus too.
9 Who’s Your Daddy (PC)
A questionable title where one player plays as an infant and the other plays the father. It’s the infant’s goal to… Bring immediate physical danger to themselves without their father putting a stop to it! The father’s goal is to stop that baby from dying!
The game becomes instantly hilarious when two friends find themselves as a beady-eyed, creepy baby and a regular Joe with a taser.
8 Goat Simulator (PC)
Everyone’s felt it. Had dreams about it. Only the worthy get to experience it. Yes, that’s right. Being a goat. To wake up one day with the superiority of more legs, an unnecessarily long tongue, and pointy horns is to wake up free.
In Goat Simulator it’s time to take the town by storm as a ruminant running wild. Players get to wreak havoc by breaking everything in sight and attacking civilians!
7 Granny Simulator (PC)
This one is somewhat similar to Who’s Your Daddy… But roles are reversed. The baby is grown up from infant status and he seeks revenge. Poor grandma just wants to get her medicine and lull a sweet baby to sleep, but that is not the case. This house belongs to the baby and all who enter are trespassers.
Two people play against each other. The grandma’s goals are to go about her life normally. Take pills, pick flowers. The baby’s objective? Obliterate the old one.
6 Hand Simulator (PC)
There is something very funny about simple things, as can be seen from how memes have evolved to today’s standards of comedy. In Hand Simulator, it’s as if learning how to use fingers for the first time.
Players can control individual fingers and must figure out how to perform basic (or complex) tasks with this newfound ability. From lobby’s of five figuring out how to load bullets into their gun the fastest, to one on one bomb diffusing, what could go wrong?
5 Amazing Frog? (PC)
This is a game where there’s no real point and everything is chaos and nonsense. Play with up to four people (or frogs, rather) as the city becomes ruined. The game has crazy physics, parkour, and more.
Players can do just about anything they want in this open world. It’s the perfect game for a group of friends who can create their own fun with just a few props and webbed fingers.
4 Octodad: The Dadliest Catch (PC, Xbox One, PS4, Mobile, Switch)
The Dadliest Catch is a sequel to the first Octodad game created by a group of university students. Onlookers may be wondering, how can Octodad be multiplayer when there is only one Octodad? Incorrect. There are 8 dad. Hence the name.
In The Dadliest Catch two players get to control the orange gentleman at the same time. One person controls the right side of his body and the other controls the left limbs. The goal is to blend into the human world so that no one realizes you are an octopus.
3 Comedy Night (PC)
This is a game for some buds who are strangely good at improv that probably no one else would find funny. Or maybe they would. Comedy Night is where that theory can be tested. In the game, the player joins an online lobby full of other strangers on the internet and people take turns on stage giving it their best shot.
Players in the crowd can choose to cheer, boo, or heckle. Since it’s the internet, get prepared for a lot of heckling and a lot of memeing.
2 Cockroach Simulator (PC, Android)
Set in a small kitchen lies some prideful cockroaches and an angry homeowner. This simulator can hold up to 10 players. One player controls the homeowner and the other many get to be all the cockroaches running wild.
Cockroach Simulator is the perfect game for people who like annoying their friends, or just having a general good time! With simulation games, the experience is what you make it.
1 Human: Fall Flat (PC, PS4, Xbox One, Switch, Mobile)
Human: Fall Flat is a little more controlled than the other listed games in that there are varying maps with set goals and unlockable costumes. What stays the same is the ridiculous rag-dolling effect and the option to betray and bother friends.
The game is a platformer that can hold eight different players. It involves teamwork to solve puzzles and challenges that also has an active team that gives free updates.
