    Fun game but repetitive fast and the controls are pretty bad. Game needs a big update to be decent.

    It's a cute looking game, but the movement is just simply to clunky to be playable. 40/100

    The controls didn't feel responsive at all to me. A lot of the time it'll feel like the frames are dropping massively and everything begins moving in slow motion, but that's just normal Fall Guys. As a result, it's like trying to control yourself from a second in the future. The button presses seem like they take half a second to get from your controller to your character.

As a result, it's like trying to control yourself from a second in the future. The button presses seem like they take half a second to get from your controller to your character. A specific issue involves grab where it won't even work half the time. Other times, the game confuses itself and you can now grab people three meters away. This is a huge issue as some of the mini-games rely completely on the grab mechanic working correctly. The same could be said about the ball mini-games and a lack of responsive controls. It's frustrating to try to play those while your character's actions keep getting delayed (or doesn't do them at all). I'm genuinely baffled at the highly positive response this is getting. It would have felt meh quality for even a free to play game. Different strokes for different folks, I guess.… Expand

    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.

    I donno man, its like very cringe game. All maps are similiar and they have nothing unique. Even Fortnite deserves a lot of more interest, but still this is my humble unpopular opinion.

    This game could be better and I wish it will

    The Physics of the Game are a complete Joke, the Character falls over by the slightest hits or just by jumping. The Character cant get up fast, you have Situations where the Character falls over and cant get up for 3-4 Seconds. WHEN YOU CREATE A GAME THATS BASD ON PHYSIC, THAN MAKE THE PHYSICS WORK GOD DAMN IT.

    I really can't play more than 15 minutes on this game. It's ok if you play a couple of matches with your friends, but more than that I can't comprehend.
    The controls are irresponsive, the graphics are non existing, the levels are repetitive and it really gives the feeling of a mobile free to play game ported to console

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

    It’s boring. It controls bad. It’s music sucks and it’s visuals are too colorful they hurt your eyes. Stay away. This isn’t it

    У вас на сайте написано, что сервера расположены по всему миру. Но в чем тогда проблема? Почему когда вы бежите вместе с соперником к финишу и вроде бы ты видишь, что первый пересёк черту ты, но первое место занимает он. Или противостояние с хвостами, тебе надо так извернуться, чтобы схватить чужой хвост, зато твой хватают с километра! Что за фигня?!У вас на сайте написано, что сервера расположены по всему миру.

    The concept of a competitive platformer battle royale is one that is intriguing and has potential.

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

    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.

    PS4 version works okay, but the PC version has a major cheater problem, and the devs continue to try and silence players. Very poor reaction from devs, will not be playing again.

    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.

    I enjoyed playing this game, but the lag and server delay makes me wanna rage quit. The game is great, but the technical side is awfull. Don't play it now, wait until they fix it (if the will).

    Servers are always down, if it works it’s fun. In the 3 days since released the servers are down more often than up

    Feels as something fresh within the gaming community yet the game feels extremely repetitive, feels clunky and leaves a lot to the imagination. I think the game wouldn't have been as popular as it is if PSN had not chosen to make it free. The reason this game got such good reviews is beyond me. I uninstalled it rather quickly.

    Personally for me, games based heavily upon luck and internet connection quality are usually all the same....boring.

    Fun for a few weeks and whilst your winning but annoying when you lose, fall guys got me more stressed than dark souls.

    I wish i could give fall guys a 10/10 but i just cant. after about 3 games it gets really repetitive i would say out of the 24 mini games i really only enjoyed 9 and if i have to say hexa-gone is the most unique and by far the best. but what really brings this game down is the team mini-games. i dont even know why there called team mini games because almost nobody works together in any ofI wish i could give fall guys a 10/10 but i just cant. after about 3 games it gets really repetitive i would say out of the 24 mini games i really only enjoyed 9 and if i have to say hexa-gone is the most unique and by far the best. but what really brings this game down is the team mini-games. i dont even know why there called team mini games because almost nobody works together in any of them. some of the worst team mini games include: Hoarders, egg scramble, fall ball, and team tail tag. in hoarders the intended purpose was to work together with your team to keep the most balls in your goal, sounds pretty fun right? well what really happens is two teams work together to keep balls out of one teams goal and if you happen to be on that targeted team, oh well! theres nothing you can do about it. what about egg scramble? in this mini game you and your team need to work together to keep the most eggs in your goal. so your probably guessing whats wrong with this one? well like hoarders because theres 3 teams... 2 team up on one this mini game would have been way better if it were more complex and if it only had two teams. fall ball isnt the same case as the last two because it has two teams now! but there a-lot of problems 1. most of the times fall guys makes the team numbers unequal so you could be 3 against 5! 2. if you just stand in the middle you can bounce the ball into the other teams goal instantly. 3. there is no variation whatsoever so its gonna be the same experience every single time. and team tail tag is just awful 1. it lasts FAR to long 2. you can just stand still the entire game 3. the hit detection is just a dumpster fire. but where ever there is bad there is some good. i like the designs of this game its very bright and vibrant! i also like some of the single player mini games (most of them are good) and the controls are very tight! but one thing that i hate the most occurs at the end level. imagine this: your excited its down to the last round, you have worked hard to get here and your not gonna loose now! the stage begins and you immediately go, but you notice something strange... that guy is faster than the rest of us? your confused but as you make your way to the top you notice he is already at the top and your soul is broken. cheaters are another big issue with this game they never fixed it. so what are my final thoughts? if you want a fun party game play mario party. fall guys gets boring very quickly and your not gonna get much out of this game. but hopefully they can pull back someday. my final score is a 4/10… Expand

    Possibly the worst battle royale game I’ve ever played, Fall Guys does have its share of fun physics moments, but some lead to bugs that are annoying, but even more so for a game where you’re trying to be the number 1.

    Mediocre battle royale games like Fortnite nowadays (even made by the same people) can be argued as a contender for the worst, but at least a game like that has more features and isn’t immensely slow. This game ended up mediocre back in 2020 and seeing it now, it’s no wonder why it went free-to-play.    … Expand

    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. Hahaha this is such wacky fun!

    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

    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.

    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!

    Controis are buggy and randomly stop working, you can tell its a console port because oft the massive lag on PC, and the maps are not designed well for the huge number of players.

    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.

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

    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]
