Human: Fall Flat Reviews
With a very solid and impressive physics engine, Human: Fall Flat can be a real fun and enjoyable experience. Specially if you bring in a friend for a co-op play.

With it’s innovative and clever controls, this simple and charming, yet complicated little gem is definitely worth the $15.
Even with clever puzzles and funny physics, I found little enjoyment in Human: Fall Flat.
Goofy physics-based indie fun in a bite-sized package, that's way more fun with couch co-op and catapults.
In the end Human: Fall Flat is exactly what I expected it would be, but with more to it than I anticipated. I loved digging through each area. Even when Bob fell to his death, respawning and trying again never bothered me. The simplistic design and clever physics-based puzzles offer up an enjoyable romp that is more than worth the price of admission.
Bob's adventure is an interesting one, full of genuinely clever moments, often funny and with some cool tracks interspersed into the otherwise silent world. But these can't save the game from some absolute, teeth gnashing difficult moments.
Human Fall Flat could possibly be the next big goofy indie game with odd controls and it's also one of the most enjoyable cooperative physics-based puzzlers around.
You can smash, grab, pull, push and doing some other stuff. Things don't come easy, though: Human: Fall Flat is a challenging game with a difficult system control, something in between Goat Simulator, The Talos Principle and Surgeon Simulator. A game that can be fun and frustrating at the same time.

Creative puzzles and real physics make Human Fall Flat quite fun when playing alone and even better in cooperative mode. Some technical problems and bugs don't take the fun factor, but it is noticeable a lack of polishing in gameplay and visuals.

Human Fall Flat is a physics-based puzzler with a pleasant sense of humor, a cute main character, nice puzzles, and clean, inviting environs, but all of these positives bite the dust when the basic mechanic of the game makes you gnash your teeth with frustration.
Human: Fall Flat is a reasonably enjoyable puzzle platforming experience – especially if you bring a buddy along for the ride. Although its wacky controls and simplistic visuals may trip it up along the way, its solid variety of puzzles and beautiful music stop it from falling flat on its face.
Developer knows his game lacks depth. Sadly, he just made a product suitable for a YouTube-made videos.

Human: Fall Flat seems like the kind of game that was conceived at a party where someone asked “what would it be like to control a character who's already drunk?” Unfortunately, the game falls a wee bit short in terms of depth and gameplay. While it does have bits of drunken fun and charm, it would be better used as a mini-game in a larger game, similar to playing the Doom mini-game in Wolfenstein. There's some fun and experimentation to be had in Human: Fall Flat, but be prepared for the hangover that follows.
Hilarious and empowering, even if it is frustrating at times, Human: Fall Flat is definitely worth at least one play through.
Human: Fall Flat is a clever game with a minimalist look that will hook you with its puzzles and with the humorous way its main protagonist goes around doing things. Bob is bad at this. Like, really bad, but that's already half the fun! If you're looking for a fun 3D physics-based puzzle game with a decent-sized campaign and plenty of objectives to complete then Human: Fall Flat is just what you need.
Human: Fall Flat is certainly one of the better puzzlers to arrive on console and though it’s a real shame to see a lack of attention being shown to the co-op offering, that mode in itself may just be some of the best local multiplayer fun available on Xbox One.
With fantastic level design, the fumbling humorous Human, and even the partially absent soundtrack, Human: Fall Flat is a blast to play. Although short-lived--your play time could vary as it is a puzzle game--Human: Fall Flat is a most welcomed momentary distraction to the more serious and heavy AAA games we have been recently getting flooded with.
In summary, one could state that Human: Fall Flat is a perfect puzzle game which doesn’t feature a single puzzle, and while such statement carries a significant amount of truth, it has to be stated that Human: Fall Flat‘s perfection carries a single major blemish, in form of its final level. A lot of the negativity concerning the finale comes from the fact that unlike the rest of the title it is anchored within a questionable setting, and the obstacles which were excellent throughout the earlier stages of the title, are nothing but a nuisance during this particular level. The ingenuity of water level, or the excitement which came with the castle playground, is nowhere to be found within the title’s finale, and it is rather disappointing, as the otherwise great title ends with a rather anti-climactic sequence which may leave a lot of players feeling deflated, and to some extent disappointed.
Human: Fall Flat is pretty good. It may be another awkwardly controlled game with a robust physics system, but neither is overbearing enough to drag down the game's enjoyment factor. It comes in at a good length, there are multiple ways to solve puzzles, and the co-op really makes things enjoyable. The camera can be nauseating if you're sensitive to such things, but if you can handle it, you'll find a game that's just as ridiculously fun as some of its contemporaries.
Ultimately, it’s a little difficult to really understand what the developer was aiming for here. It seems more like it was a project from someone who was simply inspired by the entertainment value of stuff like Octodad than a game that is really looking to break out with its own identity. The potential’s there, but it’s all a little to raw for its own good.
