It's terribly easy to dismiss this game but I find it hard to think of any other game that takes the minigame competition concept to this level. When you've got cute beans, a colorful array of obstacle courses, and constant addition of content, it's hard to complain when the formula is this effective. The big kicker though is whether you're good at platformers in general, because Fall Guys rides and dies on that gameplay philosophy. There's no other activity available that isn't platforming, and progression through each season is dependent on a good performance. Given that it's an online game too, lag and internet connection can make each round frustrating to traverse. Otherwise, when everything's in order, it's comfort food for my tired-out body.
