The new Fall Guys: Ultimate Knockout is becoming a hit. Nearly 77,000 players are playing at the same time on Steam. We take a look at the reviews for this multiplayer fun.
What exactly is Fall Guys? Fall Guys is referred to as a Battle Royale game, even though it doesn’t look like one. Nevertheless, the term fits. Because it is all about competing against up to 59 other players and being the first to reach the goal. Along the way, you have to overcome obstacles and compete against the other players, for example, by pushing them off cliffs.
All of this in bright, colorful graphics. The game often turns into a very funny chaos. And every obstacle course presents new challenges. That makes every race something special.
This game principle is currently very well received. According to SteamDB, the peak of concurrent players was 76,520.

This is how Fall Guys is received
How well is the game received? On Steam, Fall Guys currently has a rating of 81% and is considered “very positive”. At launch, there were some server issues which led to some negative reviews. However, the multiplayer game is now running significantly better.
- Kasdiel writes on Steam: “The game is fantastic. The developers are very engaged in the community, and the future looks very bright. The influence of Takeshi’s Castle is very strong. Also, it’s a hug simulator if you like that sort of thing.”
- BossGranaten says: “Fall Guys is a super fun and exciting game that should especially be played with friends. Highly recommended for anyone who was into Takeshi’s Castle and loves challenges.”
- Schmennes explains: “The best party game currently available. It brings back great memories of Takeshi’s Castle.”
However, there are also negative voices, mainly directed against the team mode. According to players, this mode is not well balanced.
- Zach Slackin says: “Team games are terrible. Losing in late rounds due to uncooperative or just confused players drives you insane.”
- Chip Skylark writes: “Basically a good game, but team games are unfair and should be removed. It’s not about teams here, it’s more free for all.”
All in all, Fall Guys is indeed very well received by players, which also explains the high player numbers. According to the developers on Twitter, there are over 120,000 players on PC and PS4 combined. For PS4, it may play a role that the title is free to play for PS Plus members.
