60 Player Game Show 16j1s

The premise of Fall Guys is simple, 60 players compete in a gauntlet of mini-games with the hope of being the last player standing to win the Crown. The game plays out like an obstacle course game show, kind of like Battle Royale or other large-scale multiplayer games are rarely fun to lose, but in Fall Guys it stays fun. A lot of the time losing comes down to you as the player getting unlucky rather than outmatched by someone else with more skill. Defeat can happen to anyone, so when you do get disqualified it is not frustrating.

The race games are some of the most fun you can have in games this year.

Gameplay 56686j

You run, jump and memorize your way through the mini-games standing between you and the Crown. Some games are races with crazy obstacles to avoid, not to mention the horde of players. Survival rounds force you to be one of the last ones standing while the stage stops at nothing to knock you off the edge, and the final rounds are tense platforming challenges that test both your speed and your ability to survive. Most of these games are a blast, but the ones that aren’t always fun are the team games that randomly divide the players into teams and then force them to cooperate.

Since there are so many players, it is basically impossible to communicate with everyone at once which can be part of the fun, but also frustrating when you are doing everything you can and your team, isn’t. At first, it seems like there are a lot of games to play, but once you play the game for a while, you’ll start to notice a lot of the same mini-games popping up. The foundation of Fall Guys is incredibly strong, and if the developers can add even more games for variety, the experience will be golden.
