Nov 9, 2020Fall Guys: Ultimate Knockout is a game that bets on simplicity and entertainment, with very good sensations and awaiting tweaks that enhance it even more.

Aug 10, 2020Fall Guys is a fun, wholesome minigame mix that anyone can play. There’s something really unique in its physics and battle royale combination, and it’s easy to understand why there’s so many people loving its action. However Mediatonic and Devolver will probably need to keep adding new mechanics and minigames every so often if they want to prevent it from turning… genuinely repetitive.

Aug 7, 2020With its short games and easy-to-grasp mechanics, Fall Guys is easily the most approachable and welcoming battle royale yet. Its bursting color and varied game modes do a good job of reeling you in and keeping you hooked, even if a handful feel at odds with the easygoing nature of its premise. It can be disheartening to have a game end prematurely due to uneven team matches and, worse still, when you're forced into one of Fall Guys' unsatisfying finale modes. But neither are enough to derail the fun Fall Guys consistently generates, with its chaotic obstacle courses and earworm soundtrack ensuring you'll be coming back for more.

Aug 6, 2020Exactly the sort of fun, colourful, and purposefully silly multiplayer game the world needs right now, even if it’s not exactly the most polished video game of the year.

Aug 6, 2020Fall Guys: Ultimate Knockout is a grotesque battle royale dressed as a party-game, which gives hopes to 60 poor candidates to triumph over all the others every five minutes or so. Fun, colorful and justly unfair, Mediatonic's game just need to bridge the distance with new stages and a better interface with its second season.

Aug 5, 2020Fall Guys is a fun party game that wonderfully replicates TV’s silliest game shows, but replaces the boring humans with lovely bumbling egg monsters. The speed with which it catapults you through rounds means that you’ll see much of what it has to offer early on, but I always felt compelled to keep playing regardless. Hopefully, Mediatonic is able to regularly update it and keep the party going long after its launch.

Aug 10, 2020The funniest game of the summer. The perfect party game. A mix between Takeshi's Castle and Ninja Warrior. It has a lot to improve on (A LOT), but if it does, it also has a bright future.

Aug 7, 2020There is a very promising kernel at the core of Fall Guys: Ultimate Knockout. With some more game mode variety, some basic controller and accessibility options, and a stable player base, I could see it being a great alternative to other live-service games. It just isn’t quite there yet.

Aug 7, 2020A must-play if you already subscribe to PlayStation Plus. A hearty party-game recommendation if you can convince online friends to join in. A tough sell for loners or couch co-op players.
