The physics and platforming are as tight as a game with the name “Fall Guys” would allow in the most aggravatingly fun way, the music is catchy and energetic, and there exists a fine line between luck and skill in the stages that the game walks fairly well. The game was originally priced at $19.99 but when I reviewed it, I did so on PlayStation 4 via the free PS+ download so, in a way, it was already sort of free.Īfter logging a couple hours into the game, I can say that it is very fun and highly replayable. Fall Guys has been at the top of viewership, hitting over 500,000 active viewers at various times throughout the month of release. PlayStation players who subscribed to PS Plus on launch were able to get in on the action immediately as the game was announced to be included as one of August’s free game downloads when it launched, eventually moving on to become the most downloaded PS Plus game of all time. Out of the gate, Fall Guys received favorable reviews from a number of media outlets with the game’s Metacritic review score currently sitting at 80 on PC. The last one standing takes the shiny crown. The goal of the game is to jump, dive, and climb your way to victory through a gauntlet of colorful free-for-all and team-based minigames. In case you’ve somehow missed this game, Fall Guys: Ultimate Knockout is a battle-royale platformer developed by Mediatonic, published by Devolver Digital, and, after being a PlayStation 4 and PC exclusive, is respawning as a free-to-play title with the aptly titled Free For All season. The game that mixes the nail-biting suspense of the battle royale genre with the slapstick hilarity of game shows like Wipeout, Fall Guys has found a large player base, hundreds of thousands of viewers on Twitch, and went on to become the most downloaded PlayStation Plus game in the history of the service no small feat from the team that brought you Gears POP! and Murder by Numbers. It would be an understatement to say that Fall Guys has made a huge splash it was released on August 4, 2020. We originally published this review back in September of 2020, following the initial release of Fall Guys, but we are bringing it back, with a small addendum, in June of 2022 following the game’s free-to-play release.
