    Fun game but is broken. Most of the times you can't find players. Developers need to fix servers.

    New season is awful. The levels are terrible and the scoring system is reworked so you have to play WAY more to get the same points. Pro tip: if you are losing your player base, DON'T MAKE YOUR GAME WORSE!

    Fun game. Unfortunately it's ruined by the fact that it has more bugs than Sim Ant, and the worst physics of any post-1985 title I've ever played.

    A game that should really be free to play, considering how repetitive it becomes after a couple hours. Microtransactions, terrible server stability and matchmaking and even worse community management.

    I would pass. Certainly do not spend money on it.

    The concept of a competitive platformer battle royale is one that is intriguing and has potential. Unfortunately the competitive potential for Fall Guys is completely lost due to unbearable character control physics, significant input lag and server issues, poor minigame design, and overall complete lack of control over your win odds. Your character moves unpredictably and uncontrollablyThe concept of a competitive platformer battle royale is one that is intriguing and has potential. Unfortunately the competitive potential for Fall Guys is completely lost due to unbearable character control physics, significant input lag and server issues, poor minigame design, and overall complete lack of control over your win odds. Your character moves unpredictably and uncontrollably when bumping into other players, and is unresponsive to inputs. The addition of luck-based minigames means that even if you have control over your character about 1/3rd of the time it does not matter since games are won by sheer chance. Combining all these aspects turns Fall Guys into an incredibly unsatisfying and faulty competitive game.

    As a party game, Fall Guys still is unsatisfying. Games are too fast which means it has no long-term engagement, and the repetitive nature of the minigames (essentially boiling down to four or five different 'types') makes any player that can get over the controls check out quite soon.

    Fall Guys is only entertaining for one person: The spectator. Watching other stumble with the controls and fail to do what should be easy things is quite entertaining, even if it's more the fault of the game than it is the fault of the player.    … Expand

    Probably my most disliked Devolver game. Unfinished. Poorly implemented mechanics. There's a few gems, but they are buried under multiple repetitive games that often end up being frustrating for all the wrong reasons.

    The best thing about this game is the fact that it's a roadmap for a better developer too easily improve on.

    This game is broken. Keep crashing all the time and servers down most of the time. Why release it if it is not ready???? I give up on it for now and might return after few months when they fix it. Thankfully it was free in the PlayStation Plus otherwise I will be pissed paying money for an Alfa version of a game. Don't waste your time.

    Don't understand the hype about this game. Just average game with not responsive controls and too much random impact. Especially team levels.. they should be removed completely, moved to a special separate mode or at least pushed to the first place, when if you loose, you don't waste all previous rounds. All bloggers and reviewers are telling how fun that game is. Imo, 4/10 of fun.

    Fallguys is a game with great potential, BUT:

    -The controlls are absolutely irresponsive (you can have a really long input lag)
    -Games get repetetive really fast
    -The matchmaking is horrible and can take eternities
    -The soundtrack is nothing but annoying

    Had for about three days now and played around 10 rounds
    Other than that down for maintenance or unable to connect with the servers.
    Pointless frustrating experience
    Playing the game was fun but I've not been able to start a game for over 24 hours.

    Aggressively mediocre. A great concept with almost entirely joyless execution. You don’t have much fun, you just desperately try to avoid dealing with the frustrating mechanics of being trapped in a group of people all trying to jump on a platform but bumping into each other.

    It’s just not fun. The only part they really put effort into is monetization. It feels like a f2p game that you have to buy, and the game is based around desperately avoiding the awful gameplay.    … Expand

This is by far the most toxic and rage inducing game I have ever played. Do not let the cartoony colors fool you. This game is a trophy hunters nightmare. Some of those same people there to deliberately grief other players more than likely already have the platinum... to those players go play a damn different game and perhaps give others a chance. People like that ruin games that are supposed to be enjoyable. And don’t tell me to “get good” because I don’t care for anyone’s opinion that says that. This game is more luck based than skill based. Luck about where you spawn in the game... luck if you don’t encounter one of it many various bugs and glitches. And yes I know they are patching... but we are in Season 2 and they are still patching it. I only play the game because I absolutely hate it so much.… Expand

    it was fun for about 2 matches and then it just gets frustrating as soon as you realise the clunky ass mechanics only work when they feel like it. Other than that, it is a completely luck-based game and repetitive like a mf.

    The most fun I had with this game was when the servers weren't working. Now they are at least functional.

    Sixty funny characters crammed together on a small area, competing with each other, while avoiding various traps and causing all sorts of unpredictable, amusing situations – what’s not to like here? The rules are simple and the entry threshold is low, so pretty much anyone can pick up Fall Guys and instantly have fun. [10/2020, p.60]

    Fall Guys is an extremely addictive and accessible fun for the entire family. It is hilarious even when you are losing terribly, which makes it the biggest hit of the summer and possibly also the winter ahead of us. [Issue#306]
