    Okish, fun to play a couple rounds until moving to something else. It gets annoying sometimes with the controls or with matchmaking, it is ok to pass some time, play a couple of rounds and that's it.

    It’s enjoyable I played the switch port but, it’s frame rate would dip at times and at first I couldn’t enter the game also some of the mini games are ****

    The game control's very poorly and feels very weird when you are jumping, which you will be doing a lot. The minigames get very repetitive very fast and it feels like you see the same 5 every match. The servers are also constantly kicking me out, the game is a lot of fun for around 20 minutes then get boring and repetitive very fast.

    This game has a lot of potential and it looks fun but there are some glaring issues that prevent this game from being enjoyable:

    *The controls are terrible. Half of the time I am jumping onto a flat surface, falling over and scrambling to get up for 5 seconds. The lag delay from pressing a button to the action happening is intolerable. The grab mechanic is glitchy as grabbing a tail from point blank will not work
    *Too many players in the lobby. Half of the time you are clustered in a horde of players getting bounced off a cliff, glitching out or getting grabbed. Some players will even spawn on top of you and knock you over
    *The game gets boring after 20 minutes. There aren't many mini games to play and you know every one of them after a few play throughs
    *Team mini games are trash. Half of the time you are paired up with people who have no idea what to do or you get ganged up on by the other teams

    On the positive side of things, Fall Guys does have some good things going for it:
    *Nice cosmetic and levelling up systems. Constant reward gives more incentive to play
    *The game itself has enjoyable characters, good graphics and can be funny to watch
    *A more creative BR game as it is not just a generic shooter like Fortnite, Cod and Apex.

    Fall Guys is a brilliant idea, just executed poorly. Nothing that some patches can't fix though. Drop the player count to 40, smoother controls, less player collision and more variety in mini games. Looking forward to see what this game can offer in the future    … Expand

    Honestly, this game deserves around a 5/10, maybe 6/10.
    Here are the issues:
    1.You're going to repeat A LOT of levels. There are not many levels in this game and the game gets very repetitive. It's going to strongly depend on how much fun you like playing the game, when it comes to how quickly you will get bored. 2.Hardly any cosmetics. You barely start the game with any cosmetics    Honestly, this game deserves around a 5/10, maybe 6/10.
    Here are the issues:

    1.You're going to repeat A LOT of levels. There are not many levels in this game and the game gets very repetitive. It's going to strongly depend on how much fun you like playing the game, when it comes to how quickly you will get bored.

    2.Hardly any cosmetics. You barely start the game with any cosmetics to choose from. Even LBP (a VERY similar game when it comes to dressing up your character) back in 2008 (yes, 2008) has tons of different designs and combinations right from the beginning of the game. In this game, prepare to look EXACTLY like every other player online. Even after playing for several hours, I still don't have a way to make myself stand out from other players. Even the selection of cosmetics in the "store" are lacking. VERY disappointing.

    3. Microtransaction. Yup, this game has microtransactions. And on top of that, it costs $20 (unless you have PS+, which costs anywhere from $40-$60/year, depending on if you get it on sale).

    4. Gameplay is TERRIBLE. You jump, land and start flopping around on the ground. Even if you don't touch anything.... you can jump, land on flat surface with nobody around and start ragdolling.

    5. The game can be glitchy/laggy. There have been moments (and I even recorded these moments to make sure I was losing my mind) where I would beat someone else at something (like jumping through a hoop before them) but the game registered them beating me at it first.

    Good Stuff:

    1. The game is easy to pick up and start playing. Right from the menu, you click "Play", jump into a room and battle. Lose? That's ok, you can be in another room battling within seconds after losing the previous level.

    2. The game is cute and has a certain charm to it. The characters are funny and silly.

    Final Thoughts:
    I found the game was worth downloading and playing. But within the first 20minutes of playing, I could tell I would probably hardly ever play this game after a couple of days, and I still feel that way now (after it's been a couple of days). Even though I did have fun playing this game and I enjoyed a lot of aspects of it....I feel like I'm over it at this point. I've done everything in the game several times over and there's no reason for me to go back to it. Try it out... it doesn't take long for someone to know whether they're going to like the game or not. There's nothing new to discover after the first 10-30 minutes of playing it.    … Expand

    It is a cool idea and a fun game at first, however it doesn't have any long time motivation. There is no real learning curve at all. You know exactly what to do after playing each minigame once.

    Jogo muito divertido e rende boas risadas, porém o servidor ainda está muito instável o que atrapalha demais a experiência, muitas vezes a conexão cai após se classificar pra próxima fase e os pontos e prêmios não são somados, o que gera muita frustração.

    Besides the first day issue with servers, the game is a fun time and it deserves attention: it's battle royale about managing to go through an obstacle course rather than shooting or killing and if you win the match you get to the next and try to stay alive. There are about 4-5 matches each "episode" (I think that's what its called) and each match can last from 1 to 5 minutes, depending onBesides the first day issue with servers, the game is a fun time and it deserves attention: it's battle royale about managing to go through an obstacle course rather than shooting or killing and if you win the match you get to the next and try to stay alive. There are about 4-5 matches each "episode" (I think that's what its called) and each match can last from 1 to 5 minutes, depending on how difficult it is.

    Honestly, my only issue is how the game is reliant on luck than actual skills: you can learn the games and eventually get good at them but it's extremely difficult to win because it's solely relied on luck and hardly on anything else. Your fall guy is sluggish and doesn't move fast, he's slow and any hit will make him ragdoll for a brief moment which alone can make you lose some games, and even then you might still love if you just jump wrong or move differently: it wasn't uncommon for me to lose a match despite having an advantage on position. I wish they would make it possible for the others to have a way to recover their position somehow, like a rubber band, because there are many "races" in this game and one of the final stages IS a race, so if you start wrong you're gonna lose.

    Also, the game gets repetitive fast and that's an issue that should be taken care off soon because people might get tired and leave the game and this game requires players to be playable: I think they should have a custom play where few friends can play other minigames and have specific matches played or simply have custom plays with X amount of players so that you can at least enjoy short matches.

    For the moment, I think it's a fine game: still needs some cure and I hope they expand the game soon because it does get repetitive even after short playing sessions.    … Expand

    Played about 200 matches and while I had fun with most of them, team games were the least enjoyable part of the experience. In a game where 'Winner Takes All', the idea of pairing up with the dimmest lobby members and entrusting them with your survival can cause frustration.

    Cons: you play a lot of the same maps over and over and it got old fast for me, has much to do with luck whether you win or not

    At launch it has a short number of levels and gets very repetitive, especially on the first 2 rounds of each match. New players will be stuck playing the same 3-4 levels until they get good enough to consistently make it to rounds 3 and 4 where most levels are.
    To top it off, the Platinum trophy is really really hard to obtain due to a certain trophy that requires an extreme amount of luck, so trophy hunters should keep away from this game.    … Expand

    Fall Guys is probably the most stupid computer game I have ever tried. It is also very funny and great fun for the whole family. The level designs are cool, but some are totally random. But I suspect that the randomness is just a part of the game.
    One big thing is missing and that is the ability to play vs on the same consol / couch.

    While some of the challenges can be fun, the extreme lag from the other players is what keeps ruining it for me. When they look far away, they are actually much closer, when you are chasing them, they are further away than it would look

    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]
