    Easy to play and hard to master this is an immediately likeable game by all however its not complex enough to have staying power for most gamers. A couple 2 hr sessions was plenty for me.

    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

    Mario Party meets Minions. While not a revolutionary idea still fun all the same. Fall guys is fun for the first x times, based on your tolerance, but it gets old quick. This game piqued the interest of the kids and casual gamers in my life and there in lies the secret. It's very welcoming and has a low learning curve but can be difficult to master/win.

    I'll note I already have a    Mario Party meets Minions. While not a revolutionary idea still fun all the same. Fall guys is fun for the first x times, based on your tolerance, but it gets old quick. This game piqued the interest of the kids and casual gamers in my life and there in lies the secret. It's very welcoming and has a low learning curve but can be difficult to master/win.

    I'll note I already have a personal gripe with the fact that 1. you have to have a PS4 Plus subscription 2. purchase the game and 3. they still have the gall to throw in microtransactions.

    With that said, what this game does, which is random royale matches, are good. But that's partly the problem because that's all it does. Some maps are far superior than others and some maps are terrible at eliminating contestants. If you are unlucky you'll find yourself playing several slow matches in a row. Some matches are based on who holds X item at the end in opposition who did a good job holding onto X for the longest. Team matches have no place in battle royale, you'll find two teams ganging up on one way too often. You will also see the same group of pros reaching the final levels every time. There's not enough randomness that can help a slightly less skilled player win (think items on Super Smash Bros) or keep the game interesting.

    This game also lacks local offline play/multiplayer and any variety in gameplay. There are no gamemodes: death match, quick game, team matches, solo only, etc...There is no ranking so if you find yourself lacking in the skills department you can easily find yourself playing the same first levels over and over and never see any of the more interesting, later, stages.

    Overall, game is fun but lacks in the variety department. Matchmaking is slow and needs more skill-based match-ups and maps need heavy tweaks. I am extremely disappointed in the "this game is aimed at casual/kid gamers so microtransactions are okay" mentality especially since this title is nothing close to F2P friendly. I get why Roblox and mobile games have micro-transactions but this game that expects you to maintain a PS4 subscription plus pay for the game itself.    … 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.

    Game is fun. Getting very repetitive in few rounds.
    Better to play like 1-2 rouns and move on to something else.
    Getting this for free in Ps Plus tho adding some value to it :)

    There certainly is room for the "I'll pllay for 20 mins to kill the time, and stop" type of games and Fall Guys is just that. It's fun quirky style, short game sessions, variety of levels and simple controls are perfect for just that and it really hooks you into playing "just one more round" again and again and again... when it works.

    Unfortunately, that's not too often. In the week since it's release I feel like I've had tons of fun 50% of the time and the other 50% I've either been fighting choppy fps, lag, disconnections or straight up servers being down.
    On the level variety, while there are a good number of levels, some just don't work when played with people who are... "less than smart", becoming an annoying series of pushing, not getting where you need to because of someone who seems braindead and overall just getting frustrated which is the exact opposite of the game's purpose.
    Fall Guys' seasonal concept seems promising and with a good amount of work on the servers and on better level variety it could end up being a great overall experience. For now however it's a 7/10 - good but not great.

    P.S. The fox tail levels just don't work, get rid of them, the mechanics are broken.    … Expand

    In case you didn't know, Fall Guys: Ultimate Knockout is a cartoon-ish battle royale game with a maximum of 60 players. But it's one of a kind, instead of killing anybody you see (mostly with guns), you will have to get passed a bunch of obstacles to survive, and it will get more and more complicated as time passes.

Fall Guys used to be the top number 1 game in 2020. But however, it died real quick. This is my opinion about the game.

    Graphics: 8/10 Graphics are colorful, goofy, charming and I like it. Though the style may not be for everyone.

    Controls: 9/10 The controls are very simple and fun.

    Physics: 7/10 Now if you are looking for a game with realistic physics then pass. While they are definitely not realistic, they can be really funny and dumb

    Fun 6/10 while it can be really fun at the first hours, it can get quite repetitive.

    Conclusion: Fall Guys is a game that has a lot of potential. But due to its repetition it can only be fun for the first 3-4 hours    … Expand

    This game does many things right. For starters, you can unlock every cosmetic through hard work and skill which is rare for a battle royal and micro transactions are totally optional. Best part was you didn't have to grind for cosmetics which I was afraid of but it's a good balance of time and reward.
    The game is super simple anyone can pick it up. Only 5 controls including camera and movement. There is good variety of mini games it's just some seem to get picked way more often than others. But each one boils down to a team game, race, survival, and logic. And will keep you playing for a good while.
    The one big problem I have with this game is that the game looks and feels unfinished. Random BS seems to make you fall every time. Controls will feel unreliable and I just can't stand games where I don't feel in control. But perhaps the worst part I hate is the 59 other players pushing you around every game. You bump into everyone and it's infuriating not to mention grabbing is the worst as it's bugy as hell. Servers and lag is also a big problem as it seems to be a delay between you and other players, everyone is always a few steps back then were they are on your screen. Now that this game has gotten so popular hopefully they upgrade the servers over time.
    It's fun don't get me wrong but with future updates I hope they keep adding more mini games and improving these little bugs as it is a new studio.    … Expand

    Overall I'd say this was hands-down my most entertaining Battle Royal experience so far and even though it has a few bugs I totally recommend it. Especially since it's free on PS4 if you own a PS+ subscription. The matches are super short and even when you get to the finals and lose it's not much of a deal, just roll the dice again. This game rellies 70% on luck and 30% on skill most of the times and it quite fits the kind of TV show it tries to emulate.    … Expand

    Good bit of fun, and surprisingly addictive.

    However, it feels like this game was made in about 2 weeks. At this point I've had 10+ game-breaking instances, where it becomes unresponsive (usually in the menus) and the game needs to be re-launched.

    Fall Guys has great potential, but if it doesn't fix the core problems, I can see people dropping off quickly.

    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?
