It's always a mess, in a frustrating way, but that's how it feels like it's intended.įall Guys is not a game of skill. Team objectives, I found, are the most frustrating-my fellow "fall guys" are always letting me down not pushing the ball to the correct side of the map so we can get a point, or not coordinating in other ways. As the rounds progress and the player pools get smaller, though, the objectives get tighter. At the start, they are large-scale foot-races, which can unfortunately get a bit repetitive as they are the one course guaranteed to appear every time. In the end it's one big race-sometimes literally to the finish line, sometimes just a race against time with an objective in place.Īfter each round, Fall Guys deploys a new obstacle course to run, leap, and grab across. Maybe another player uses the grab mechanic to physically hold them back, ruining their run. The ones who fail the match may not reach the end of the obstacle course in time, or maybe they fall down into the pits of the slime below. | Mediatonic/DevolverĮach round, more and more wobbly characters are disqualified, until there's only a small number of players left competing for the final crown-Fall Guys's Victory Royale, basically. Fall Guys never feels precise in its platforming challenges, but that's just part of its fun. The floor might be collapsing, or it might be a ludicrously designed large-scale game of tag. One may have giant see-saws that teeter from side-to-side depending on the amount of players on each side one might be a giant cylinder that slowly rotates with the only goal being not to fall off. In Fall Guys, 60 players compete in obstacle courses to reach the final crown.
It's a race to see who is able to escape that fate. Fall Guys: Ultimate Knockout, a zany battle royale with no guns in sight, imagines a world where we all can be fall guys. I'm the one falling on the proverbial sword, making the big sacrifice for the "better health" of something else, whether I have a say in it or not. We've all been a fall guy once or twice in our lives. The one who takes the bullet for another the person who "falls on the sword," as the saying goes. After all, it is technically a battle royale.Ī "fall guy" is traditionally the person who fields the blame for the better of others. The new game Fall Guys is all about capturing that idea, with a self-serving spin on it. The team ends up winning the competition. In the first episode, a member of a team becomes a "fall guy"-she sacrifices herself by plummeting into the "lava" below in order to push over an object that will help the rest of her family navigate the course. In it, players navigate an obstacle course where they can't touch the bubbling, red water below, or else they'll be eliminated. Recently, I was watching the new Netflix obstacle course show Floor Is Lava.
