Fall Guys was announced at the height of the “WHAT IF (X) BUT IT’S A BATTLE ROYALE?!!?” lunacy of 2019. Initially it was targeting everything under the sun, then it quickly shifted to PC + PS4, then Epic bought them out entirely (but they announced cross-platform!) . . . but then the omni-platform release was delayed indefinitely.

Well here we are a year later and it’s finally out, and it’s free to play.

It’s good! It’s what it said on the box: Takeshi’s Castle: The Game. Most of the bugs have been ironed out compared to launch, nobody’s out there hovering out in space, nobody’s glitching out names, etc.

Most of the games are pretty good. Some are outright garbage though. Sum Fruit sucks. Slime Climb sucks. Hex-a-Ring sucks. Everything else? Pretty good!

Highly recommended. It’s fun. It’s free to play. It’s a good distraction.
