Fall Guys has proven to be a huge hit, hitting two million players on Steam, adding to everyone who’s downloaded it for free with PlayStation Plus. The game show inspired battle royale is pretty unique, pitting 60 players against each other over the course of five or so rounds. However, if you’re looking for something similar, here’s our list of games like Fall Guys.
Human Fall Flat
There might not be any competitive element to Human Fall Flat, focusing on puzzle-solving and traversal, but the gameplay is so similar.
It’s probably closest to the likes of The Whirlygig minigame, where you need to get from one side of the map to the other without falling over.
That’s the same in Human Fall Flat, with you needing to drag your ragdoll characters from one end of a level to another, falling over countless times along the way. It’s silly slapstick fun, just like Fall Guys is.
It’s probably a little more complex, but if you enjoy the gameplay in the new hit battle royale game, you’ll probably enjoy Human Fall Flat’s.
Gang Beasts
Gang Beasts is focused on smaller multiplayer matches, with four players taking each other on, instead of 60. However, the gameplay is pretty similar to Mediatonic’s new hit.
Holding and pushing has become a sneaky tactic in Fall Guys and that’s what Gang Beasts is all about. You play as similarly unstable characters and need to push opponents off the map to try and be the last player standing.
It’s silly, slapstick fun, just like Fall Guys, and while the controls are a little trickier to up the slapstick element, there’s just one aim rather than many, which is just to fight.
If you’re looking for similar multiplayer party game fun, with the same kind of presentation and gameplay, Gang Beasts is as close to Fall Guys as you’re going to get.
Among Us
If you’re after another silly multiplayer game to compliment Fall Guys, Among Us would be a great choice. The premise is a little complex but is ingenious and unique too.
You and up to nine other players are on a ship but one player is there to sabotage everyone else and leave no one alive. They’ll break parts of the ship, sneak around, all while pretending to be part of the crew.
Every time a body is found, the crew can vote who they think is the killer, and they win if they get the right person.
It’s a big departure from the gameplay of Fall Guys but it’s another silly and lighthearted multiplayer game that’s even better when you’re playing with friends.
Overcooked
Overcooked is the ultimate and probably best-known party game of the last few years. Working alongside your friends, rather than against them, you need to complete as many dishes as you can in the allotted time.
You’ll be running around aimlessly, falling over, throwing items, and shouting at your fellow chefs, desperately trying to make one more burger.
Just as Fall Guys can be, Overcooked is chaos. It might not have the competitive side, but it’s another dumb, fun multiplayer game to add to your list.
Ultimate Chicken Horse
Ultimate Chicken Horse is similar to Fall Guys’ race levels, but with a twist. Up to four players (unfortunately not 60) try to get to the end of a level first, but a box of traps is opened at the start, with each competitor getting to choose one and place it somewhere that will stop everyone else from getting to the end.
You’ll be jumping over things and trying to avoid obstacles, just as you do in Fall Guys, just on a single 2D screen rather than in third person.
As the game goes on, you get to add more and more traps onto the level, making it nigh-on impossible to finish, causing havoc between you and your friends.
