    What a waste of time and money. Do not buy this. With so long in development, a well-meaning audience would expect more than this trash.

    It is a good game but can you please add a feature were you can play offline and set up bots with changeable skill levels? It would be so good

    Still it really looks like early access game. I don`t know how the hell i`ve bought it for full price, that was really spontaneous decision that i regret. Promising mechanics, but really bad realisation

    Fun for like two games and then it gets boring because of the lack of mechanics.

    Don’t believe the hype! How can this game be worth 10€? And that’s the discounted price *Risitas laughter*

    No, seriously. It has 0 content, it is laggy as hell and the controls are so bad that it is impossible to throw someone. The only way to make another player fall is to suicide with him! That’s fun to do, for sure, but how can this game not offer other mechanics? The only other fun    Don’t believe the hype! How can this game be worth 10€?

The only other fun thing is to pole dance with your character – yeah, you can sort of do that by holding on something and making circles with your joystick.

    Fall Guys can rest assured. Gang Beasts is just another money trap fueled by idiotic hype.    … Expand

    I wish I could negative points to this absolute a** of a game. Unplayable, annoying as hell, not silly just stupid. Pissed at whatever thought process and brainpower went into the idea that this joke of a game deserved to be produced and make money.

    This game is in a word “inconsistent.” The game mechanics have plenty of hidden features including certain clothing changing mechanics. Certain items of clothing absolutely do more damage than others, but again, not of it is stated anywhere. Not in tutorials or anything.

Other times for some reason or another it doesn’t work 1 knockout, and other players will get up immediately after 3-4 knockout. There is no consistency. Don’t take this s*it serious because it will just make you angry. Lazy dev programming keeps this from being anything other than a major time waster if you’re more than 5 years old.    … Expand

    My son begged me to get this game because he had played it and thought it would be fun for us. It kinda looked like Human Fall Flat to me, which is a game we enjoy playing together, so I bought it for $24.99. After playing it on and off for about a month now, I can say that this game should be a max of about $5, but free would be more like it.

After playing it on and off for about a month now, I can say that this game should be a max of about $5, but free would be more like it. In 10 minutes of play, you’ve seen the entire game. The single player mode is basically nonexistent and 2 player mode is almost as bad. You can battle against other players in couch co-op or online, play a “soccer” type game which is terribly dull or battle four waves of enemies (you can’t change the difficulty setting or adjust the amount of enemies and it’s extremely easy to beat them). There’s only about 8 different battle levels, and only half of them are available when battling the waves of enemies. There is such little content in this game that I can’t believe they’re charging $25 for it. It seems as though they’ll never include more content either as I believe it’s remained unchanged for years now. The price is totally ridiculous when you can get games like Cuphead, Mega Man 11, Skyrim and freakin’ Subnautica for less than $25. Hell, the Inside/Limbo combo is $10 and is leagues better that GB. I could name 1000 games off the top of my head that would be a better $25 purchase. It plays like a phone game because well, that’s pretty much what it is. The sad part is that it has potential to be fun, but like I said after about 10 minutes of playing you’ve seen everything it has to offer. I guess if you have 8 players in couch co-op it might be fun… Avoid unless you can get it for free.… Expand

    It is a silly game and humorous at times. 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.It is a silly game and humorous at times. However, it is not for me but my 8yrs old likes it more.

    This game is a literal cash grab, why would you play this over ANY other arena fighter. I don't know why it looks so fun when others play it but if you grab the controller on this one you will realise that this game isn't fun AT ALL.

    Even if I’m less than impressed with some of the game’s technical shortcomings and overbalancing, Gang Beasts still delivered some of the funniest moments I’ve had in gaming, and that joy will stay with me for some time.

    Gang Beasts comes across more like a novelty than a fully fleshed out game but that doesn't necessarily mean that it isn't fun.

    Gang Beasts never pretends to be a single-player experience; it's a party game through and through. Even though there's only so much depth that can be found in imprecisely manipulating ragdoll physics, the end result is still oddly compelling. While Gang Beasts is not the kind of game that will find its way into the eSports circuit, players will still find a lot to love as they fight and fall and laugh at all the ways they succeed or fail in its oddball arenas.
