Fall Guys
Fall Guys is one of those games that you just need to get hands-on time with to fully comprehend how enjoyable and nonsensical it all is. It’s a battle royale competition game show with really fun ideas and a physics engine that might make you giggle.
You start off with 60 cute little “fall guys” and you then compete in randomized minigames that will narrow down the competition until there’s one winner and yes, there will be lots of yelling.
One game has you running around an arena with little golden tails and the goal is to keep your tail before the time runs out. You can jump and dive around to avoid having your tail pulled off by other players and there are even squeaky hammers and other environmental objects that you can use to your advantage if you’re clever enough.
Another game has all of you running up a steep hill to reach a golden crown, all while avoiding falling boulders and other dangerous things that are all around you.
It’s a mad dash to the top of the hill to claim victory and it’s insanely fun. Fall Guys is coming to PS4 and PC sometime in the Summer of 2020 and it’s being published by Devolver Digital, a company that has been killing it lately when it comes to putting out unique and wonderful little indie games.
This was my second time playing Fall Guys and although the experience was similar to my first demo at E3 last year, I still had a fantastic time with it.
