    If you think ragdoll physics are more amusing than annoying, then Human: Fall Flat will be one of the funniest playgrounds you can ever find on Switch. By allowing you to play with objects, mechanisms and all the physics that comes with that then you'll enjoy Human: Fall Flat's fun, if wonky experience.

    While there is certainly some merit in basing a game on a physics engine of this kind, it also means that Human: Fall Flat relies too much on its control scheme and on trying to handle very frustrating movements way too often.

    Human: Fall Flat on Nintendo Switch is neither good if labelled as a purposely "bad" game, nor as a physics puzzler. Why? It is purely because the controls make things more aggravating than hilarious, and, secondly, due to how uninspiring the puzzles themselves are. That's why.

    Human: Fall Flat is a wobbly and aggravating physics-based game that, despite its shortcomings, is still a bucket-load of fun.

    Human: Fall Flat, is a nice puzzle game with funny mechanics that make the first few hours engaging and good but after that the game can get quite frustrating and annoying. The game experience is improved during Co-Op plays, but in regards to the game as a whole, Human: Fall Flat, falls flat.

    An experiment made video game. A strange but fun experience that gains whole thanks to its physics engine and a hilarious cooperative mode.

    Human Fall Flat recognises a simple truth - People falling down is hilarious, and when they're seemingly impervious to damage that's just an added guilt-free bonus. Playing as a wobbly, awkward avatar takes a lot of getting used to, and perhaps you never really get used to it at all, but the game leaves each level wide open to a variety of solutions to suit your own personal style.

    Human Fall Flat is a very good port. I would like individual Joy-Con support to be added in a patch but if you’ve been waiting to check this out and want to on the Switch, go for it.

    Human Fall Flat is a fun little puzzler with plenty of hilarity in its scenarios. The levels feel like playgrounds where you could do whatever you want. With the ability to play this alone or co-op, plenty of ways are out there to create chaos. That doesn't mean it is all well and dandy, as holding on to objects can be a bit wonky and playing solo shouldn't be done in long play sessions. That being said, I still really enjoyed what this crazy game tried to do.

The controls take some getting used to, but are a joy to use once understood. The stages are inspired, the soundtrack is well used, and the developers have occasionally added free extra stages. Definitely worth the $7.50 it costs on the eshop currently.… Full Review »

    Sound interesting, it falls flat. I usually consider myself a pretty chill dude, but this game made me want to throw my Switch into the wall.Sound interesting, it falls flat. I usually consider myself a pretty chill dude, but this game made me want to throw my Switch into the wall. (Thankfully, i didn't) The controls by themselves are hard to get use too. But then the game starts making me do very precise things. It leaves my hands hurting, my blood boiling, and it's overall just miserable to play. Don't bother, it's a waste of time and effort.… Full Review »
