Best Indie Games of 2020
2nd Runner-up: Fall Guys
Editor-in-Chief Ed McGlone: Fall Guys followed the Rocket League formula almost exactly in 2020 and like Rocket League, Fall Guys is on track to be a fixture in the online multiplayer scene for years to come.
Fall Guys has an effective gameplay loop that is accessible enough even for the most casual of players to jump into, while also being fun for gamers of all skill levels.
The minigames are a perfect blend of skill, RNG and madness. It’s just chaotic and rando enough that while skilled players generally should get through, a rookie has a shot of getting a crown too should the game break in their favor.
And if you don’t win and are unceremoniously thrown from the stage, you can jump right back in the action to try again. Fall Guys just ends up being one of those games that even when you lose (horribly) you’re still having fun.
Developer Mediatonic has a hit on their hands and appear committed to supporting the game for the long haul.
