Cartoony, slapstick-like, absurd, colorful and fuckfull of charm.

I don't know what to exactly call this type of game, Oddcore? Weirdwave? No idea, but these titles are different in terms of aesthetic, sound and gameplay, in a good way, almost feels like a saturday morning cartoon or a late night acid trip. Not always entirely experimental, but just out there, representing the devotion the team put behind the project right on the nail. Rareware and Treasure are some of the companies that come to mind when thinking of the genre, or way of expression.

General titles that have left an impression on you is what I'm asking, it's impossible for you to read my mind, so you'll have to post titles that you see as otherworldly, and memorable, or follow the examples I have posted.

There's nothing wrong with categorizing something you like, I DID ask for suggestions on what it should be called after all. My phrases aren't an end all, they're templates meant to kickstart discussion, not piss of bitches that are triggered by a general concept of semantics.

Toonstruck comes to mind. Point-and-click adventury stuff.

Christopher Lloyd gets stuck in a cartoon world and does adventury things. Decent writing, a loaded cast of recognizable and very pleasant voice actors you might know from animated shows from back in the day, humor's got some real bite here and there, and is pretty good on the whole. It has its bullshit moments in terms of puzzles, though. Some are cartoon gags that might give you trouble if you're not adjusted to it, sometimes reaching a little too far, others are just bad. Real bad.

The "look everywhere and memorize stupid trivia about random parts of the world for randomly picked questions" shtick to a puzzle where following all the clues to a logic puzzle doesn't eliminate all the wrong options.

Inventory management seems to be a bit more confusing than it needs to be because you need to collect and match a set of items in a machine to advance the plot. That means having items lying around in your inventory that may have a use in the machine, but might also have use elsewhere before then. And others just have no use at all other than to burden the strategy of trying every item on every item. And it's a big, generally connected world with a lot of locales where to try everything on everything.

And then there's the fish puzzle. Fuck the fish puzzle. Not even going to spoiler this. You need the sole, and it's for the plot machine. That's its only purpose. Fuck the other fish, they don't do fucking anything despite the game leading you on that they might be more desirable. Don't run around like an idiot for an hour looking for a use for your prize, thinking you might have missed something else. Get the sole, put it in the machine. Fuck.

So yeah. If it weren't for the voice acting, it's be a very lackluster game. If a live-action Christopher Lloyd making interesting remarks and quips in a cartoon world with recognizable voices doesn't appeal to you, then you should probably skip it.

If it does, get a guide, skip the aforementioned puzzles and enjoy the ride, I guess.

I miss the Bizarre/Kawaii age of japanese gaming and japanese culture in general, but there were a metric fuckton of those games from the Arcades up to the PS2, so at least i can still go back to the old ones.

last one I know of is the vita game

and the vita game's intro is a whole new level of weird compared to the original

if the original's intro shocked you when you were younger, this might shock you too, even if you've played all of the other games

The Zeddas series was pretty weird, especially when you consider the first game is entirely from the view of a mirror.

>Zeddas 3 never ever

There's this one game where you play as a cartoony soldier and it's 2D sidescrolling. When you kill enemies they become ghosts and join your squad and you need their powers to beat levels. I think it was a Japanese game with a German name. It was cool.

None of those games or anything posted in this thread are remotely similar, even in art style. Games having some off-kilter aesthetic or occasionally dipping into some weird shit isn't a genre. Games that are just simply being cartoony like platformers such as Banjo and Rayman aren't fucking "weird", they're just inspired by fucking cartoons and are aimed at children.

You sound like you have genuine autism and can't parse why some games go for a non-realistic look, besides "cause it's weird XD".
