    I will put the same review I did on Steam

    I actually like this game... to an extend. For one there are WAY TOO MANY cheaters. There is one in at least 50% of my games now. It's extremely frustrating. There is also some issues with certain minigames, especially the "Tail Tag" games and all the team games.

    I actually like this game... to an extend. For one there are WAY TOO MANY cheaters. There is one in at least 50% of my games now. It's extremely frustrating. There is also some issues with certain minigames, especially the "Tail Tag" games and all the team games. For the tails, with the latency, it creates a very unpleasant feeling when someone who, on your screen, is far away from you, is actually much closer and is able to get your tail. When you are the one trying to grab a tail, you almost have to be inside of them. I also mentioned team games because it's just not fun to lose your streak to some monkeys in your team performing extremely poorly and even shooting into your own goal in Fall Ball.

    tl;dr. It is a fun game but I do not recommend it until Mediatonic stops jacking off in their pile of money and actual fix their f*cking game.    … Expand

    I can't currently recommend this game to PC players, hackers are currently running rampant and the developers have been dismissive of the issue, it's only getting worse. I wouldn't recommend someone to buy in good conscience in its current state

    The game is fun when you're not disconnecting or in a game with hackers. There's honestly so much potential in this game but it's difficult to overlook all the glaring issues. It's getting worse by the day and the devs are asleep at the wheel one month into release.

    Pretty much unplayable at the time of writing this due to the game being completely overrun with cheaters. The devs seem to be totally lost in how to respond. It completely sucks all the fun out of the game when every other match is compromised bc of blatant hacking.

    There are cheaters in over half of the games that I play, sometimes only revealing themselves in the final round. I have ~30 wins in the game, but it has become completely unplayable. The developers have repeatedly lied about the extent of the cheating issue and do not seem able to fix it.

    A game in which the server is not stable. A game where the player can throw you out, but you cannot do anything and oppose.
    Play games that will take pleasure, and not games in which others destroy you with cheats.

    On paper this game looks like an other battle royale but in reality it's much more than that. It's a very chaotic and fun experience. Sadly the hackers make this game feel kinda unfair.

Servers are also unreliable sometimes where it just says you've been disconnected and you can't play for a while. Soundtrack gets tiring after just a couple hours. And hackers really make this game ultimately frustrating in my opinion. But other than that. Anytime there isn't a hacker, the game is super fun. Especially $20 it's a pretty good deal for a fun multiplayer game. I just hope they'll release new mini games to change up stuff.… Expand

    It's a very good game that can provide hours of fun with cool and challenging levels to beat. However, the team games really are what preventing the game from being a 10 and are really unfair and luck based in some cases.

    The zero rating is too high. Good idea but bad realization, it was probably developed by taking turns defecating on a keyboard for a week.
    A pity that this idea didn't come from real programmers. Every F***IN MINI-GAME have a bug, a problem... Good game for a 3 years gold child that are happy to play a colorful game.

These people were clearly not loved enough, and you know it feels awful when it comes from a guy who has been playing League of Legends for 7 years now. At the very least 1 in 3 game there is either a cheater or a griefer, and there is nothing you can do about it, but watch ruin the fun for everyone (mostly you). While griefing isn't exactly against the rules, that doesn't mean everyone has to do it as well. What made me write this review was a game that I just played. There was 3 cheaters in that game, 2 went ahead and 1 stayed behind just to make sure the people in the last places cannot proceed, and after we and I died to the goo, he just went flying off into the goal. If you want to buy this game and give it a try, then go to Steam and buy it there, because Steam is consistent whit it's return policy. Just a head's up, if you havent played the game for more than 2 hours and you are within 2 weeks of a refund request being submitted, then you get your money back.… Expand

    This game is an interesting new take on the Battle Royale genre. Instead of shooting, you compete 8n a game show similar to Wipeout.

Decided to give it a second chance a couple weeks later, and now the game is even worse because of the lack of a skill queue. New players will always be placed at a significant disadvantage as veteran players will know the proper routes and shortcuts through the maze races. And while I could just 'git gud' by failing repeatedly until I also learn the shortcuts from the few, unchanging levels, I honestly found myself just not caring enough to bother.

Mediatonic still hasn't said the last word, as they will still continue to develop the game, add new modes etc. without which this game would probably not go on for a long time, and they have built a great basis to do so, so let's hope they will made right choices as this game's got a lot of potential and a lot of paths it could follow. If it continues to ride the popularity wave correctly, then in a few months or years it's gonna probably deserve a higher score.

    When we covered Fall Guys last week during it’s beta, we talked about how fun the game was with its crazy courses and bounce all over the place with your adorable jellybaby like characters. But expressed concern about its longevity from the variety of courses we played, however, we expected that what we were playing was just a mere taste and expected to see a bunch more in the fall game.When we covered Fall Guys last week during it’s beta, we talked about how fun the game was with its crazy courses and bounce all over the place with your adorable jellybaby like characters. But expressed concern about its longevity from the variety of courses we played, however, we expected that what we were playing was just a mere taste and expected to see a bunch more in the fall game.

    Sad to say that hasn’t exactly been the case.

    For anyone not aware, Fall Guys is a brand new attempt at Battle Royale, where you play as bizarre little creatures who have a terrible centre of gravity and “wooo” everytime they get knocked over. The game plays a lot like Takeshi’s Castle and Wipeout with many similar obstacle courses like running through doors and avoiding the fake ones, only with more crowding and flailing all over the place. That is the one thing you need to expect while playing Fall Guys, it is going to become an absolute squabble especially when squeezing into such tight places. You play through several rounds trying to avoid getting eliminated in the process and compete for the crown at the end.

    The game does like to mix it up at times with team-based challenges that usually involve pushing balls, grabbing eggs and chasing people wearing a tail. These can prove quite frustrating, but in that lighthearted funny way as you try desperately to get an egg from your opponent’s goal and just flop everywhere. But other times like the Rocket League knock off can just feel tiresome as you try and shove your ball into the goal.

    Longevity is going to be the real deal-breaker of this game, I actually found myself getting bored back while playing the beta and was ready to write off the full game when I started playing it today. That is until I won the crown in my first game and modes I didn’t get to play in the beta like Royal Fumble, which involves scrambling for the one tail, were actually quite fun to play. One thing that would be great to see is some variety to each of the levels because then you are just playing the same ones over and over again.

    The truth is, Fall Guys feels like that quick little game you boot up between other bigger games, its the little snack break in-between titles or the one you play with something else in the background. Much like Tetris 99, it’s best to play Fall Guys in small bursts throughout the day rather than a marathon session. However, the 20$ price tag may deter some players especially the ones who are used to seeing Battle Royale games like this as free to play. However, it seems the game is available for free for PS Plus members.

    The game does offer cosmetics like new costumes, colours and emotes which are paid for with the games two main currencies, Kudos and Crowns. Kudos is the currency you receive after any match you play (unless the servers disconnect half way through) or purchased with real money but Crowns can only be achieved by winning a game or reaching certain levels. With the lack of lootboxes, I have to praise the game for how it treats its unlockables. The game will offer rare items like an Alyx HL2 outfit for a limited time, but it can only be bought with crowns which are only earned in-game and sure you could buy Kudos with real money but you earn plenty playing as well, so why even bother?

    Fall Guys is just some real light-hearted fun, something you open up after a long tiresome day and maybe get a few laughs from, and during these times, that is really all you can ask for.    … Expand

    I like how Fall Guys adapted Mario Party and made it support up to 60 players. It's a nice little casual game to get your feet wet with competitive gaming, without the stress and anxiety involved.

    Sadly, the game in its current state is lacking. It is good, don't get me wrong, but it is still very much an infant that has yet to grow to its full potential. There aren't that many minigames to play (around 10-15 at most), so it gets stale playing through the same ones over and over.

    There is a lot of randomness to many of the minigames, and the team-based ones are pretty much a coin flip. (The yellow team is almost always doomed to lose, to the point that you might as well quit the game and join another to save time and energy.) The maps are split into game modes which follow a specific sequence, which means that if you do not reach the final round, you are forced to grind through the same handful of initial maps again, which don't require much skill.

    Anyone who has played Fall Guys for more than a few hours will tell you the exact same thing: There are not enough minigames. Since the game just released, I'm sure the developers will add more as time goes on, but it simply feels incomplete in its current state. The game will feel fresh for the first day or two, but then it turns more into a grindfest which you alt-tab out of whenever there is downtime between maps.

    Overall, it is hard to justify the game at its current price, and I recommend holding off until there are at least 20-30 minigames. If and when that happens, supposing I am still playing the game by then, I may consider revising my score.    … Expand

Add that to the battle royale gameplay, which means you will frequently have excellent runs ruined by being placed in the losing team and being able to do **** all about it, and the overall experience takes a massive hit.

    If this game had an option to queue for a no team mode playlist, I could easily give it an 8 or 9 out of them, the only other significant problem being how repetitive the game is, but I don't feel like I'm being hyperbolic when I say the team modes ruin an otherwise awesome game.    … Expand

    With just a few small additions, such as private matches and cross-play, this would quite simply become one of, if not the best party games available on current platforms. It can’t be underestimated how difficult it is to create something quite so accessible and fun simultaneously.
