    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.

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

    This game came out of no where and took the world by storm. A bit Tackeshis Castle, Its a Knock a bit Mario Party, All Fun. Very simple premise a bunch of been people compete to win. If you want to know what the game is about just what a video, its the type of game that explains itself just by seeing it in action. I am not a Multiplayer gaming guy , but this game is made for everyone.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    *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

    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

    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.

    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.

    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

    This game is broken. Keep crashing all the time and servers down most of the time. Why release it if it is not ready???? I give up on it for now and might return after few months when they fix it. Thankfully it was free in the PlayStation Plus otherwise I will be pissed paying money for an Alfa version of a game. Don't waste your time.

    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.

    -Games get repetetive really fast
    -The matchmaking is horrible and can take eternities

    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]
