    Great addictive fun, and a timely palette cleanser amongst all the other battle royales. Mediatonic have a slam dunk on their hands, now the question is can they keep it fresh and interesting moving into the future.

    One of the better games you can use your time on if you just want a break from fps games and other hardcore rpg's and just relax with either your friends or just you know you could vibe

    Colourful, addictive, and a lot of fun as a lighthearted game. A few bugs and lagging issues, but once these are fixed and they add in more mini games it’ll become awesome

    It’s just too fun and it has such great gameplay with a bunch of fun activities to do. Also follow their twitter it is very well implemented in the meme community.

    I buyed this game for $19 year ago on steam. we played for 2 year with a bad netcode that make some party game not really playable (the tail one for exemple). Devs fail to fix the name so we not had our name in game, they never be able to fix it so they use egs login... i don't accepted this when i buyed the game.

    Bought the game(for full price btw), played 4 hours and was like i will play this later more and then comes the news it goes F2P and people who BOUGHT the game got only stupid skins instead of something of real value.

    Also needs Epic account, when i bought the game that was not needed to play.

    Valve declined the refund.

    It is fun, however you are paying 20 bucks for what's essentially a Freemium game. The concept is very funny but I feel like it has so much unused potential. For example, there's a remarkable lack of variety when it comes to stages and music. I've played the game for about an hour now and stuff just keeps on repeating endlessly.

I also think that the game would be more fun if you could actually hit each other, or maybe use Mario Kart-like items on each other. Just more ways to actually interact besides just falling onto and grabbing each other.

    On the plus side, I had absolutely no problems with the matchmaking, though the game was a little laggy sometimes.

    I actually got a refund for this on Steam. As I said, the game is fun, but, from what is on offer here and how it incorporates microtransactions for cosmetics, it should be free-to-play.    … Expand

    The implementation of Easy Anti-Cheat has broken Proton support for Linux and ultra-wide support.

    They are still refusing refunds despite breaking the game for many players.

    Lets just put the dodgy servers aside for a second because honestly someone needs to solution this on an industry level as regardless of studio size this is a fairly regular occurrence.

    Fall guys is great dumb fun and i really cant see how it hasnt been done before but I am positive its going to be replicated going forward. Controls are simple, games are straightforward.

    Fall guys is great dumb fun and i really cant see how it hasnt been done before but I am positive its going to be replicated going forward.

    Controls are simple, games are straightforward. Anyone who has played a videogame will have a shot at getting through the first few rounds and there is enough variety in the games that it doesnt feel like a slog.

    Replayability is high and if you can gather some friends in a party its a good laugh which we all probably need right now.

    If you are looking for depth in your games this probably isnt going to suit plus the split on skill and luck can often be 50/50 so im not 100% sure how they plan to take this forward competitively but its easy to watch so the potential is there.

    As the Devs go forward with new levels and adjusting the current one its only going to be more entertaining, simple formula well executed. Good luck to them all.    … Expand

    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.

    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.

    While some of the team based mini games are a disaster and the servers aren't in it's best shape right now, the game is so funny and addicting that is gets hard to rate it with anything lower than an 8. Amazing game

No joke at least 1 in a 5 games there are players flying through the maps. Other times there are griefers who arent even racing to get 1st place or to have fun, but to ruin other people's fun. 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

    PS tbh this game is not at all as fun as it might seem

    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. Will adjust my rating upward to a 10.0 if the developers take meaningful action to prevent cheating,There are cheaters in over half of the games that I play, sometimes only revealing themselves in the final round.

    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.

    This is what gaming really is about. Pure unadulterated fun. I have not had this much fun in a while with a game. Although the only thing keeping me from a perfect score is the server issues. But that will be fixed in due time. Other than that this is an awesome game. If you have a pc or ps4 with PS Plus you have to try this game.

But this game is just not all that good. And honestly, not much fun. Almost immediately, the PC version was overrun with cheaters running speed hacks, which caused me to walk away quickly. 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.

Fall Guys feels like driving to McDonald's and asking for a square burger.

    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.

    Fall Guys is more like a hilarious comedy picture directed by Mediatonic Studios, and reminds us that video games are not just about winning over other players, and sometimes its about having fun with family and friends.
