[mheilig]

Finally a video game that represents my body type

My girlfriend isn’t a gamer, and I thought this game looked perfect to have some fun with her on a game - was gutted when I found out it doesn’t have split screen, this type of game is crying out for local multiplayer

[professorsnuggles]

Got only 3 wins so far. But I like the solo matches. But to me, it all falls apart with the team games and tail grabbing games with the servers allowing players to snag your tail from a mile away but makes it hard to snag a tail from someone while touching them.

This game deserved at least an 8. It's different, fun, hilarious at times, and an overall good time for hours on end!

so bassically what mario party should of been

It's more about luck than skill most times, but it is fun, albeit sometimes frustrating, when you can actually play it. I wish that I controlled/handled a little tighter, but it's still fine. Can't wait for newer levels, as I think I've finally seen at least 20 of the 23-25 in existence. Some levels need to be re-worked a bit more, though. 7/10.

Edit: Considering downgrading the rating to a 6/10 due to all of the bugs and server issues. Thoughts?

If the servers are good, can give a solid 9/10 for having fun, it's not always about the competitive spirit

It's great for a laugh, and you will cry with laughter... For a while. The very same mechanics that are so hilarious in the beginning soon lead to frustration though.

*"DON'T GET ELIMINATED!"*

Am I the only one who’s waiting for it to be on Nintendo switch

[ThatScottishGeek]

I played a few rounds closest I got to winning and servers fell over with 7 left. I wish the game rotation was better seems like same games come up loads

I often see reviewers and comments about everything being luck based in Fall Guys. For all the people who are interested in this game, don't be discouraged by this statement. It's often said by people who play games casually and not truly try to get better at it. Three out of five games I win, alot depends on whether I get the minigames Door Dash or Conveyor Belt. These are the minigames that are truly only about luck. Let me explain why these two are luck based and the rest not.

Door Dash is a game where you have to choose the correct door, or you just let someone else choose it so you follow the one who chose correctly. However, if the minigame decided to put 2 doors on the other side, you're screwed because of the funnel that keeps you from going through the 2 doors next to each other. (Yes, this happens quite often)
Conveyor belt on the other hand (that minigame that throws fruit at you, I forgot the name) you also have literally no say on what to do. 70 percent of the players still run in the middle of the belt like a chicken without a head. Slowly people start to understand, they should walk at the side, where they can be protected by obstacles. If you're in one of those games where most understand, you're screwed. That's because at the very beginning it's all about luck whether you drop on someone or someone drops on you, without this headstart you simply lose because other had the luck of it not to happen.

The rest of the minigames, even teamgames, you can have a massive impact by yourself. You just need to learn how to adapt to what the team needs or use the space you got to keep/get the tail. (Don't stupidly follow someone with a tail and say it's a stupid minigame)

My personal rating for this game is an 8. If they'd remove the conveyor belt, door dash and release more often new minigames while also removing the current minor bugs and connection issues, it would be a solid 10. If you're still wondering whether you should play Fall Guys, just do it. It's funny to fail and it's funny to watch others fail.

They need to fix there servers badly 5 outta 10 it is fun when u can ACTUALLY play it

[AzureRath]

Have you considered intercepting the person with the tail rather than chasing them? There's more of you then them

[unleashthedog]

Only a 7/10? I’m surprised. The critique about losing because few teammates is a bit empty, it’s valid for any team game, like Quake, COD, Rocket League etc. No mention about couch coop so I still don’t know if I can play with my partner

[EgaTehPro]

Looks like it'd be fun to play for a little bit, but I'd get bored of it fast. And for $20? No thanks.

reminded me of Takeshi's Castle.. love it
