Intentional comedy in games seems to be incredibly difficult to get right but Helldivers did it by creating the perfect Starship Troopers game. The visual tone of everything is so serious that all the shouting about exploding insect monsters for "democracy" hits just that little bit harder.

The gameplay is very tight, with most of the silliness coming from how easy it is to shoot/launch an airstrike on your friends. It's been a while since I've enjoyed a co-op game this much (that wasn't Monster Hunter). Missions can be as long or as short as you want them to be, making it perfect for just jumping on for a bit.

There's also been the added benefit of people with no media literacy outing themselves as idiots when they go online to babble about not understanding the fascism satire in this and Starship Troopers.
