Human: Fall Flat Reviews
Goofy physics-based indie fun in a bite-sized package, that's way more fun with couch co-op and catapults.
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.

Human: Fall Flat is weird and it embraces its oddity enough to make it worth a full playthrough.
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. Tackling the five-to-six hour long adventure solo isn't entirely recommended, so if possible we'd definitely encourage getting a second player to join in on the fun, even if the game's performance takes a hit. While online multiplayer is sadly missing, we reckon that you and a fellow human might really fall for this little puzzler. Over and over and over again.
All in all, Human: Fall Flat is a sometimes frustrating and often fun experience. With split-screen multiplayer available, you can even enjoy the struggle with a friend as you try to waddle your way to victory.
A fresh take on the physics-based video games we’re used to, but gets tied up with awkward camera angles and tricky movement.
Human Fall Flat is a game that’s aware of how unusual it is and builds to its own strengths. Bob’s ungainly controls work particularly well in the invitingly designed worlds that let you play around, cheat and conspire with a co-op buddy.
Human: Fall Flat is original in its concept and frankly funny for a few hours, but runs out steam unless you have a friend to rely on.
Human: Fall Flat is an interesting game. We control very flimsy white creature looking like simplified Michelin Man with physics pulled out straight out of Euphoria Engine. It's combined to give us a boring game that can be enjoyed with someone else. It's really better to watch someone play it than to play it yourself.

Human: Fall Flat is a incredibly funny collection of physic puzzles that make a lot a fun (mostly) because of the clumsy motion sequences of the main character. If you're looking for the next goat simulator and can bring some creativity to the table, you should definitely check out this game.

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.
Developer No Brakes have created a physics puzzler that requires patience, timing and an appreciation for the development process of games in general.
Human: Fall Flat is elegant in its gameplay and boasts delightful graphics. No matter how frustrated I got at not being able to solve puzzles, I kept at it because of just how enjoyable it was. The soundtrack that accompanies Human: Fall Flat works wonders also, and I loved how bright and vibrant the game was from start to finish.
Human: Fall Flat might concern the adventures of a floppy limbed chap who ambles about the place, solving puzzles and whatnot but the game itself does anything but, instead raising the bar for a genre that so desperately needed a game to champion its cause and not another half-baked experiment to invite further derision. How nice it is then, to have one of the former and not one more of the latter.
The bottom line is that Human Fall Flat is fun, challenging, and charming in its simplicity.
Fall Flat’s weird controls can frustrate at times, but it still manages to be enjoyable and hilarious throughout.
Human: Fall Flat has its endearing, satisfying moments and its aggravating moments. The physics are fun to play around with and present a challenge, but the wonky camera movement is a weakness that’s hard to overlook.
The final point I really wanted to emphasis with this title is just how impressive the physics engine is.
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’s slapstick controls and ridiculous animation do a great job of making repeated, frustrating, and unfair failure at physics puzzles seem fun for a while. And when that fun runs out, you can extend it by bringing in a friend and drawing silly things on your goofball character. If you don’t play it, watch someone play it.
