Recommended Posted August 11, 2025 on Steam Thank goodness they released limited physical copies of this game. I need this to be preserved for aliens to find, as the only proof that humans ever existed. -
Recommended Posted July 2, 2025 on Steam [code]While a lot of love clearly went into the making of ‘Thank Goodness You’re Here!’, its absurdist British humour won’t be everyone’s cup of tea. As the gameplay takes on a backseat role to allow for a constant stream of jokes, it’s best to check if you’re part of the target audience when considering a purchase.[/code] It takes only a few minutes of playing [i]Thank Goodness You’re Here![/i], developed by the two-person (!) studio Coal Supper, to realise just how much love went into creating this satirist take on British town-life: The charming caricatures that are representing common townspeople, the absurd events highlighting the ridiculousness of everyday life and, of course, accents that requires subtitles if you’re not familiar with this part of the world. This is the type of humour that can only be made by people all too familiar with the matter they’re depicting. Throughout the 2-3h long adventure, the protagonist – a salesman asked to meet the mayor of the fictional English town of Barnsworth - ends up helping the eccentric local villagers with their various problems, which range from not being able to make fish & chips to getting their hand stuck in the gully when trying to grab a pence piece. In terms of gameplay, this translates to some light puzzle solving, as the all the protagonist can do is move around, jump and slap things/people. Unsurprisingly for this type of game then, the humour takes front and centre. While the gameplay aspects aren’t completely gone and there are even achievements for going out of your way to perform certain actions, your enjoyment of the game depends almost entirely on how much you enjoy the increasingly absurd jokes that make up the quite linear story: The game’s puzzles, if stripped of their unique presentation, are simply too shallow to entertain on their own. As such, [i]Thank Goodness You’re Here![/i] is the type of game where I heavily recommend watching about 10-15 minutes of gameplay before making a decision on purchasing the game. As humour is extremely subjective, reviews can’t translate well whether you’ll like the game or not if it’s mostly a constant stream of interactive jokes. In my case, I bought the game based on one particular scene involving a pair of lowers – only to find out that the rest of the game was made up of more absurdist humour, which didn’t match my personal taste. Subsequently, while I still finished [i]Thank Goodness You’re Here![/i] due to its short length, I didn’t really enjoy my time with the game. However, I realise that this is simply a matter of personal preference in terms of humour, which is why I’m still recommending this game after all: Even if you really should make sure that you’re part of the target audience before playing, which I unfortunately didn’t, the labour of love that went into creating [i]Thank Goodness You’re Here![/i] should be acknowledged. -

Recommended Posted March 13, 2026 on Steam This was such a gem of a game. I had a lot of fun and it makes me sad to think that British people do not exist in real life. 😥😥😥 -
Recommended Posted January 8, 2026 on Steam You’re a little guy. The town is wrong. Everyone needs help in a way that makes things worse. Every joke lands because it knows when to stop. The animation is ugly in the precise, intentional way that only confidence allows. There’s no mechanical bloat, no fake depth, no anxiety about “value.” You walk around. You press buttons. Comedy happens. The game trusts you, which is rare, and rewards that trust with impeccable timing. In an era of endless updates and hollow ambition, this is a finite object that understands itself completely. It’s funny, it’s sharp, and it doesn’t overstay. -
Recommended Posted December 16, 2025 on Steam Short but very fun, it's a must buy if British humour is your cup o' tea. I would wait for a sale tho ^^ 8/10. (PS: I can't hate anything with Matt Berry in it.)
