    Идиотская игра с огромным количеством недостатков, которая привлекла абсолютно всех. Спасибо бесплатной раздаче, хах. Итог: игра отстой, но я захожу в нее каждый день.

Mini-games are mediocre at best with some like tail-tag and other team based games feeling unappealing and annoying at the worst. This is a causal game, which is not a bad thing, but this game erred with the side of rng and chaos instead of adding any real element of skill present at all, which great party games like mario-party, jackbox and hypixel (mc mini-game server) have some level of skill to make the matches interesting. If the developers work on servers, make mini-games more engaging and add more reasons to play long term, this game could very well have a great future. The biggest plus for me is the cartoony graphics, which look great. Expand

    This game is not meant to be taken too serious, enjoy!

    Pros: The idea of playing on a wipeout course is great fun, courses/challenges are different enough to stand out, unique take on the Battle Royale genre, mix of team/solo challenges works well

    Cons: Game does wear out quite quickly mainly due to there not being that many courses, connection issues, art design lacks any real substance, isn't as engaging as other games of the genre

    Other thoughts: Fall Guys is a new take on the Battle Royale genre, and definitely has the potential to be a great game. With a new season just around the corner, hopefully it builds on the platform that season one has laid. If I were them aside from fixing the connection issues, I would add more courses/challenges (and not remove any) while creating a second 'team only' variant of the solo mode to be on the sea team as friends.

    A fun platforming battle royal game that flips the genre so much on its head, that it was a breakout success the second the game came out. Moving and jumping works for the most part. Jumping can feel delayed at times and can make for some frustrating moments. A few glitches here and there but nothing too bad to keep you from coming back to playing again and again. The only thing that might detract from the experience is how repetitive the maps get after only play for a few hours. Hopefully, future updates will help with that complaint.

    This game is a good idea but badly executed. It is a game with a lot of potential but that until the moment leaves something to be desired.
    The problens starts with the servers issues. You will experience a lot of times the servers going do down, and you losing all the progress that you made in that match. The game will not even give you a copansation for your time wasted. That's so

    Another problem is the lack of maps n the game. You are going to play the same maps a ton of times until you get bored and move to another game. Dude, look at the graphics of this game and how simple the maps are. What is the difficulty to make more maps? A game like this needs at least 50 maps to play. And why in the hell they dont make a way to the community create maps?
    I only give this game 5 because has potential, but by now is really not worth to buy

    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
    And seeing just how many challenges has to do with players interacting, I'm just not having fun with any of them. and then there are just too many things

    The game is bright, colourful, funny and extremely addictive. Considering how silly it is, it's also quite competitive. At first there were issues with hackers and server problems but these are few and far between now. A lot of people have posted reviews far too soon after the game was released. All games have issues on launch these days, even AAA ones, let alone something like this.

    As for repetitiveness, there are 24 game modes. More to be added in season 2. They are varied enough to not get boring. Team's were mismatched at first but this has now been patched, and you don't get two team games in a row anymore.

    Finally, people moaning about controls - I'm sorry, they are fine. If you can't cope with them you're just not good enough and you maybe need to accept that. It is a very hard game, and does need luck for some levels, but some are skill and controls work fine. It took me ages to get my first win, but I didn't decide to come and post an average/negative review because it wasn't easy...

    Overall, more levels/skins to be added, great partnership ideas with brands, and continuing improvement of servers and removal of cheats are all coming. The reason it doesn't get 10 is because there are a couple of modes which are entirely luck based which can be frustrating and team games can gripe when you get stuck with all the idiots giving this less than 7 because they can't understand simple mechanics...

    It's also excellent value as it's free on PS Plus right now. I've seen people saying there are microtransactions. That's a lie. There is a store where you can buy exclusive skins. Then there are skins which are exclusively unlockable. No pay to win

    Fall Ball is absolutely awesome though. Would play that as a whole game.

    It's a fun time waster but definitely not worth the 20$ you have to pay on PC and if you aren't a PS Plus member then it's not worth the price of admission simply because the game just screams free to play what with it's limited mini games and it's Fortnite inspired item shop

    Some minigames are really fun yet others not so much especially the team based ones and I personally experienced

    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 ...

    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 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.

    Molto divertente è un gioco per staccare un po da altri con del gameplay "più pesante" oppure più lungo, le partite sono di breve durata e anche un videogiocatore non esperto può riuscire a cimentarsi in questa esperienza di minigiochi colorati e con uno stile semplice ma facilmente interpretabile

    The loading screens take way too much time. The gameplay is NOT sufficiently based on skills. Too much luck involved. It's annoying when the characters fall over and fall off edges. The levels are small, offering only brief moments of gameplay before the next loading screen.

Every obstacle course or arena is bright and colorful and fun to look at. Everyone controls a strange looking round fella that they can then further customize with different colors silly looking accessories which not only gives incentive to keep leveling up and earning coins so you can unlock more items and emotes but also further adds to the goofy cartoony feel of the game and I mean that in a good way. The animations on these guys, emotes and the normal animations that play before and after rounds also go a long way to add some fun charm to the simple designs on these guys. I also love the silly cartoony sound effects that happen when you fall over or bump into someone. Fall Guys is not the prettiest thing out there but it works and I personally really like it.

    As for how it plays, each game is referred to as an episode, treating this like it really is a Ninja Warrior style TV show. These episodes are broken up into several rounds where players are steadily eliminated until one player is left standing. The rounds range from Obstacle Course style, reach the end sourt of affairs which are probably my favorite as it really just feels like a test of your platforming skills. There are some slightly annoying parts to these levels like how in see saw you have the risk of being stuck on a seesaw with people who don’t know how balance and weight distribution work, seriously have they never been a freakin seesaw before!...Okay I’m calm, anyway aside from...minor annoyances like that these levels are still pretty fun. My least favorite one of this kind of course is the fake door one, it just feels a bit to luck based as to whether or not you pick the correct door and it then quickly becomes a cluster cluck around the real door, it's not awful I just don’t like it nearly as much.

    There are also some more distinct events that remind me of Mario Party minigames like this one where the objective is to avoid falling off these rolling platforms and this one where you have to avoid being pushed off by blocks. There are more levels like this and they are pretty fun as well, these definitely feel a bit more cutthroat with a lot more people pushing and grabbing each other.

    Finally there are some team based events like team tail tag where you want your team to have more tails by the end which is a variant of a solo event where you just have to hold onto your own tail or egg grab where the objective is to have the most eggs in your teams nest at the end. The only one of these events I don’t love is the soccer one because it rarely feels like I am actually in control of literally anything that is happening, its not unfun I just don’t love it. It’s not like I groan out loud when this event comes up in the cycle but it’s just not something I am super into.

    Finally there are the final round events like Fall Hill where the objective is to be the first one of the remaining contestants to reach the top of the hill and grab the crown or Hex-a-Gone where you want to be the last one to fall in the slime by jumping around on disappearing hexagon platforms. These events do feel suitably like final round events like the climax of an episode and they are really fun, especially hexagon rush which is my personal favorite. It’s quite a challenge to come out on top but it's really exciting when it happens, I have so far only won like once or twice myself but that's the best thing about Fall Guys. Like any good BR it’s not all about winning. Win or Lose you will still have a blast and that's really the best thing I can say about this game is that it’s really fun, I was never bored when playing this game and more than once I had a big smile on my face while playing.

    Oh and while you can purchase currency in the game it is more than doable to just earn stuff through regular play so it doesn’t feel invasive at all and if this helps them release more content later on then so be it assuming future content releases like levels and such are free which as of right now I assume they are. Honestly that is the one thing that does feel a tad lacking is the variety in events and different layouts for said events. There is still a decent amount here for the launch and I’d say the fun factor definitely makes up for it, besides that is something that can be remedied with time.

    I’d say this one is definitely worth checking out, regardless of whether you have PS Plus or not. If you want a fun BR that is enjoyable to play even when you are losing and has a focus on platforming and minigame style events than you will love this game, I know I did so I’d say it's definitely worth the price of admission and hey if you DO have PS Plus there is literally no reason to not at least give it a shot if you are even remotely interested so for real go try this game asap. You won’t be disappointed.

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
