    Pros: it’s easy to get into, fun with friends to play these small ridiculous maps.
    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

    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.

    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

    A cheap cash-grab that becomes dull and stale after half an hour of playing.
    A game with controls that could be possibly fit into an NES controller.
    20€ for a game a being with only medulla oblongata could easily play. Fortnite is for free.
    And finally, another PS+ excuse for Sony.

    *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

Empiezan a tropezarse todos los jugadores y no es tan satisfactorio intentar moverse con el personaje. Entiendo lo que querían hacer, querían darle mas humor al juego, y lo respeto, pero el problema es que esto termina afectando al gameplay. Las partidas son generalmente carreras en las que tenes que clasificar al siguiente round, el diseño de nivel es ingenioso y acompaña a las intenciones visuales y jugables del juego, pero sin pulir ciertos aspectos que lo hacen algo frustrante y que encima carece de multijugador local o de cualquier modalidad offline, dejando tambien atras, un modo donde se puedan practicar estas modalidades en solitario, o poder elegir manualmente las fases al jugar con tus amigos de forma online, lo cual es un pecado cuando incluso juegos party de hace 20 años incluían estas características importantisimas que personalmente termino disfrutando mas. Tenemos también una tienda muy similar a juegos anteriormente vistos que tienen micropagos, y si bien el juego tiene bastante contenido, es fácil desbloquear nuevas cosas y los micropagos no afectan en nada a la jugabilidad, 20 dolares me parece un poco caro, honestamente, debió de haber sido gratuito. Puedo recomendarlo, y se que el juego se estará actualizando, pero le faltó un poco mas de esfuerzo por parte de los desarrolladores para explotar todo su potencial.… Expand

    Some minigames are really fun yet others not so much especially the team based ones and I personally experienced multiple occasions where certain people ran faster than I did for some reason making games like the tail grabbing thingy a nightmare ...In addition luck is crucial and you don't necessarily need to be skilled at the game . Mini games like the sea saw can be extremely unfair for example ..

    The controls are awful on purpose as well which I never really liked as a design choice . When you press R2 and the bean thingy doesn't grab on to the ledge it leads to frustration for me and not fun and it also doesn't help that there is MASSIVE input delay

    I don't want to sound like a stick in the mud and I can see how it can be fun for the entire family . A Takeshi's castle gimmick for a game is an excellent idea but the execution isn't really to my liking ..

    The reason for the 5/10 is because I find it expensive for what if offers , otherwise it would have gotten a 7/10 due to it's originality and it's achievement of making people laugh ...    … Expand

    It`s a fun game to play at first, but since it doesn`t have precise control and there`s so much moving part, you don`t really control the outcome, and that`s frustrating.

    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.

    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.

    Fall Guys is a fun game when it works, but there are too many bugs and connection issues for it to truly live up to its potential.

    The positives: 1. The game is legitimately fun and, if you don't smile while playing this with your friends, you're probably dead inside. There's tons of charm to this game and it's a genuinely great joy to play, owing to some hilarious player interactions    Fall Guys is a fun game when it works, but there are too many bugs and connection issues for it to truly live up to its potential.

    The positives:
    1. The game is legitimately fun and, if you don't smile while playing this with your friends, you're probably dead inside. There's tons of charm to this game and it's a genuinely great joy to play, owing to some hilarious player interactions and watching as jelly beans haplessly careen into the abyss.

    2. The challenging platforming rounds are exceptionally designed, with Slime Climb being the pinnacle of Fall Guys level design.

    The okays:
    1. The music is infectious but quickly fades into the background. It's good but nothing breathtaking, a solid soundtrack lost in the chaos of the gameplay.

    2. The progression system is rewarding but becomes tedious over time. Kudos, the currency you earn by qualifying through rounds, add up quickly. Experience for the battle pass, however, is a slow grind that is only slightly influenced by your performance; when you're working towards the next stage in the pass, which is 2000 experience away, the small bonuses from finishing first or in the top 20% or 50% don't add up as quickly as you would expect for placing well.

    The negatives:
    1. This game is plagued with connection issues. Looking past the terrible opening weekend where games could barely connect and players would disconnect in the middle of matches because the company "didn't expect so many people" to play a battle royale released for free on Playstation Plus, there are constant hiccups and latency issues. For instance, during a team game called Hoopsie-Daisy, you might jump through a hoop just before a member of the other team but they'll be rewarded a point instead of you. The worst offenders of this latency issue are games revolving around tails, where a player needs to grab a tail from another player. If you grab the player with the tail and hold onto them, even being dragged along with them as they try to flee from your grasping hands, there are times where you won't be able to steal the tail. The developers have said "ouch, that's not the experience we're going for" when asked about it and are working on a fix, but so many matches have been swung by this broken mechanic. It's frustrating and not fun, which is terribly disappointing given how frequently tail games show up in the game rotation.

    2. Matchmaking is a genuine nightmare, spawning uneven teams against impossible odds. If you go into a round with 19 or some other prime number of people remaining, there is an exceptionally high chance that a team game will be next in the queue. One team will be up a player and have that advantage, while the other team just wasn't lucky enough to get that extra help. This happens constantly and sucks away a lot of the fun, since the game simply doesn't want you to win that round. It's possible to win, of course, but it's a lot harder than it needs to be; this is doubly true when the alternative to another team game would be another free-for-all where you might not end up with a prime number of players remaining.

    3. The controls are inherently frustrating by design; it makes sense that bipedal jelly beans could struggle to land on their feet after any sort of jump, so it makes sense that they fall over ever little speed bump. It's still super frustrating and, what makes it worse, it's incredibly inconsistent. When you fall over after walking down from a small ledge or being tapped ever so slightly by another player, it doesn't make any sense for the player right behind you to stick the landing when falling from a greater height. The amount of times I have just blankly stared at the television and said "what" after seeing the exact scenario is incredibly high.

    4. The vast majority of maps are boring and don't offer a high level of challenge. Yes, this is a game that anyone can pick up and play; I understand that. However, many of the maps are mind-numbingly simple. Roll-Out is a prime example: You can not lose on that stage unless another player sabotages you or you are trying something risky for the sake of combating staleness.

    5. This game is hellish to play by yourself. Without the buffer of a friend to play with, you are stuck playing a game with bad controls, bad netcode, and boring maps. Helping a friend qualify or laughing about a failure is amazing, but this game is cold and boring without someone else in your party.

    Final Verdict: Fall Guys is an accessible and enjoyable battle royale, a welcome breath of fresh air in a quickly bloating genre. It's fun and colorful and easy to pick up, perfect for party nights or playing with friends. However, the game is riddled with inconsistent connections, non-functioning controls, and a boring map rotation that has very few exciting choices. Pick it up if you can party up; if not, consider getting a group together before investing any substantial time into this game.    … Expand

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

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.

    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

    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.

    -The biggest one for me though, is it gets terribly repetitive. I've played Dizzy Heights, Door Dash, See Saw, Jump Club, and Roll Out 20 to 30 times each; however, I've only seen rounds like Tail Tag and Hexagon 2 or 3 times, and I haven't played egg scramble or rock and roll a single time.

    My biggest suggestion would be to fix the round distribution so it's more balanced.

    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]
