I loved Fall Guys. It is exactly what I expected from it: a brand new, family-friendly take on the battle royale genre that is really easy to pick up and play, and almost impossible to master. This is a game that will please any kind of gamer, regardless of age, gender, or skill level. It’s simply impossible not to smile while playing it.

A breath of fresh, bright and breezy air after a summer of hard-hitting AAA’s, Fall Guys cements itself as an essential addition to your party library. Believe the hype.

I’m not sure how much longevity it’ll have compared to other multiplayer games, but the fact it’s so enjoyable to watch and easy to learn means it’ll at least be the go-to party game for the rest of the year.

Fall Guys: Ultimate Knockout is a hilarious, and generally fun game. It really is enjoyable, yet at the same time this is a very limited experience.

This is only the beginning, as Fall Guys is poised to evolve and grow from its launch to reach new, dizzying heights. You won’t find anything so dynamic and unpredictable. Fumbles, stumbles, and successes are all the reasons why you watch physical game shows like newcomers “Holey Moley” or “Cannonball” or classics like “MXC”. Mark my words: Fall Guys: Ultimate Knockout is the hit of the summer, the year, and beyond.

Fall Guys is silly and stupid fun, and that is perfectly okay. It just needs a bit more variety and the RNG feeling of the team based mini-games are a real downer. The game is a nearly perfect platform to be expanded upon and I hope that’s the case going forward.

For anyone long-tired of self-serious, ultra-violent Battle Royale games, Fall Guys is an arm-flailingly silly rebuke, and one of the most deliriously entertaining multiplayer games I’ve played in years.

Fall Guys: Ultimate Knockout was the surprise hit that no one — especially not the developers — saw coming in terms of its resounding popularity and success. A slightly bumpy launch will not knock this game down, however, as the dev team is working day and night to get it back up and working to its full potential. If you want to play a quick round (or 10) of addicting eye candy that’s fun for all ages, be sure to pick up Fall Guys: Ultimate Knockout as soon as possible.

It helps that Fall Guys is currently available as a PlayStation Plus free title, so if you’re a subscriber and still haven’t tried it out, this is the best time to do so. But even at its regular price it can still prove to be a worthwhile pickup, if only just for the laughs you’re sure to get out of it.

There are some small niggles that stop it from being great, like the weaker stages and slow progression towards buying cosmetics, but if you’re looking for a fun new multiplayer game, Fall Guys is for you.

Fall Guys, the latest viral game, is perfect for streaming and YouTube videos and as fun to play as it is to watch.

In its current state, Fall Guys: Ultimate Knockout is funny, thrilling and a joy to play, but as with many games like it, future content will be key in deciding whether it’s a long-term success like Fortnite and Rocket League. For now, though, anyone with a PlayStation Plus subscription would be doing themselves a disservice to not at least check it out — and those on other platforms are sure to get a fair bit of fun out of it as well.

Fall Guys is a simple yet fun title that is released in the style of Battle Royale and can well take us away from the worries and problems of the world around us for hours. Thanks to the colorful graphics and funny characters, along with simple and short mini-games, Fall Guys has been able to succeed in achieving its goals of creating a simple and transient experience. Of course, we should not forget that this title has problems that can diminish its current popularity over time and will soon be forgotten. The game is currently suffering from a lack of content and a number of easy mini-games, which, if not addressed by Mediatonic Studios soon, will lead to the omission and failure of Fall Guys in the near future.

This game is the most illogical conclusion to the timeline we’ve been tracking on, but it’s a refreshing pull away from the all-too-serious shooters.

As it is a new game, I am looking forward to the updates Mediatonic has in store whether it’s new challenges, new skins, or even have it handled by other platforms. There is still more that Fall Guys has the potential to be, and I am excited to see others pick up the game and find a little break from the madness going on outside.
