    Gang Beasts is a game for friends. It's funny, silly and inconsequential. With a huge array of costumes to wear and places to brawl, you can play one game or ten and have a great time.

    Gang Beasts' madcap brawling creates a dynamic alliance between conflict and chaos. It also enables human responses like surprise, merriment, revenge, and screaming. Driving a wobbly creature to comically murder another flailing mess, as it turns out, is a pleasant and repeatable practice. If only three of your friends could always come along for the ride.

    A stumbling and flailing spectacle of a physics brawler, Gang Beasts might have all the poise and grace of a bar dust up on a Friday night, but it remains hugely entertaining when played with friends all the same.

    While there's online support, it's a bit too sterile compared to offline matchups. [Feb 2018, p.91]

    The perfect party game, great for short-bursts of entertainment but doesn't stand up to lengthy play.

    For those who have been following the game since long before it’s PlayStation 4 announcement, Gang Beasts really does come as a poisoned chalice. Its meathead multiplayer melees will light up your living room for hours on end, yet when there’s only one person in the hot seat, it loses that charm almost completely.

    I like the idea of Gang Beasts on paper. Hell, I even like Gang Beasts when I see other players play. The jelly physics of up to eight players smashing into one another and trying to toss each other over the edge is great fun in theory, but becomes more of a frustrating chore and test of patience in practice.

Party up and play with up to 8 friends (or strangers). Most enjoyable when everyone can hear eachother as hilarity WILL ensue!

    At the moment I don’t think it’s really worth $20, meaning that objectively there’s not that much content. Hopefully they will continue expanding this game though! I paid $15 in sale, no regrets whatsoever, though I still think in it’s current state $10 would be a fairer price    … Expand

However, it is not for me but my 8yrs old likes it more. It is really a party game as it has no story mode and not fun as a single player. The control is simple but not responsive. Most of the time, I just try to grab the opponent as other moves seem pointless or not effective. I guess it would help if there is a tutorial to explain the moves. Maybe for 5 dollars it is worth buying just to entertain little kids or guests during a party.… Expand
