    I barely touch this account, but I figure I would leave a good review because I think it's a lot of a fun and deserves a better rating than the mediocre one it has now. It's a simple minded, multiplayer beat 'em up party game with physics that can often lead to some pretty funny stuff. Not much of a magnum opus of gaming or anything to make a top 10 list, but it doesn't need to be, thoughI barely touch this account, but I figure I would leave a good review because I think it's a lot of a fun and deserves a better rating than the mediocre one it has now.

Not much of a magnum opus of gaming or anything to make a top 10 list, but it doesn't need to be, though I will admit it is a bit barebones for a $20 release. You can customize your player's outfits to a minimal degree and there are a couple different game modes, but it won't keep everybody's interest forever. Online isn't perfect. I do get disconnected sometimes and there is the occasional yet rare lag that will screw me over sometimes. Personally however, I haven't experienced any major server problems other people have mentioned where I was not able to find an available game, so I was still able to have a lot of fun with it. If you're looking for something new to play with friends in a hurry, Gang Beasts is a third of the cost of a typical AAA game, downloads infinitely faster and can often be more entertaining.… Expand

    Gang beasts is a flawed game. But it's incredibly fun and hilarious when playing with friends. It has it's issues with the server . But it can be patched. Also a little bit more stage variety .other then this it's a great social game. I have never laughed that much from a game.

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

    Nothing like what I hoped it would be after spending a few hours hovering around it's floor demo at EGX it's still my favorite party game and never fails to start a giggle.

    This game takes fun to another level. Playing local or online, this is really fun and laughable game. The characters and environment makes it even more fun.

    Servers could be better and could be a bit more variation into it. Otherwise this is a really fun multiplayer game. I've never laughed so much when playing video games as I did when playing this.

    This game is soo better playing with friends in your house. In its current state the game feels finished, but it could have more content.. in general is a good game but if you can try it first or buy it wen there are sales.

    Gang Beasts is a brawler with humorous ragdoll physics, environmental hazards, and multiple character designs. That may be all, but it all works in its favor. Gang Beasts is honestly a very underrated game and deserves more attention than it gets currently, with very few people playing it and not a lot of new content, apart from new costumes and maps, being implemented.

Gang Beasts is honestly a very underrated game and deserves more attention than it gets currently, with very few people playing it and not a lot of new content, apart from new costumes and maps, being implemented. The combat is simplistic, yet functional, and makes tons of potential for funny moments and stories to tell. I only wish from the control set that there was at least something that would tell me the controls. While the servers may have initially been dodgy, the servers in 2019 are very functional, and remained smooth during my time online. The environmental hazards are another story, in a good way. The multiple hazards that accompany each map make each round more dynamic, meaning no two rounds will ever be the same, which helps significantly in the long run. If the game simply received more content, like game modes, then this game would be an easy 10 for me.… Expand

    Gang Beasts is a fighting game that takes advantage of its physics and stages to offer a funny experience, the game is extremely fun with friends, the bugs are, but they are not so annoying and many times they can make the game more fun.
    The Boneloaf game has a great online and some funny and original characters, it is quite a satire to fighting games.

    Conclusion:
    Gang Beasts is a special fighting game, many times you will realize that you spent more time doing stupid things than ... fighting, but that my dear friends is what makes Gang Beasts Gang Beasts, this game has many flaws (like the few scenarios, some bugs, solitary mode that lacks content, lack of content in other aspects, etc).

    I enjoyed the game, it was fun with friends. That being said, my score would be a 6.5 out of 10 but am giving it a 10 because the other guy gave it a 0 for no reason when they said it was great (I guess they forgot to put a rating).

    This is my favorite offline multiplayer game to play with friends. I love the levels that slowly break down.

    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.
