Fall Guys

Fall Guys is a free-to-play massively multiplayer party royale game where up to 60 players compete in absurd obstacle courses, balance challenges, and team games, with players eliminated until one winner remains. Mediatonic (acquired by Epic) shifted it to free-to-play in 2022, expanding the player base significantly. A community course builder lets players create and share custom rounds.

Why pick Fall Guys

The catalogue tracks 5 genre signals for Fall Guys, and a few of them line up in ways that make this entry stand out from the rest of our action shelf:

  • Broad audience appeal — 4 distinct player profiles call Fall Guys out as a fit, which is unusual for the action category
  • Strong family resemblance to 3 other entries we track — if you've enjoyed one of those, the transition into Fall Guys is short

  • Released 2020 — Fall Guys has had time for community patches and community-made guides to mature

How we look at action games

Fall Guys is one of those entries that survives contact with a wide range of players — the 'Good for' list spans multiple play styles, so Fall Guys is harder to bounce off than most action entries in this catalogue. Pricing details for Fall Guys vary — check the store page in the sidebar for current and historical pricing.

We don't try to declare Fall Guys "great" or "bad" — those words don't survive contact with how different players use their gaming time. Instead we ask three questions for every entry in our action catalogue: who is this for (the 'Good for' list), who will bounce off (the 'Avoid if' list), and what does it remind us of (the 'Games like' list). Match those signals against your own taste before trusting any single review score on Fall Guys.

Frequently asked questions

Who is Fall Guys really for?

Based on the audience profile above, Fall Guys fits a broad indie audience. The 'Avoid if' list above is honest about who will bounce off it.

How forgiving is the difficulty in Fall Guys?

Indie action games often skip difficulty sliders, so the curve is what it is. If reflexes or precise inputs are flagged in 'Avoid if', expect a stiff curve. Genre veterans report most action indies in this database take 8-20 hours to clear.

Is Fall Guys playable solo?

Some "multiplayer" indies degrade gracefully with bots, others have their entire design tuned around 4 humans cooperating. Check the genre tags carefully and the SteamCharts player count in the sidebar — if concurrent players sit below 50, matchmaking will be painful.

Is Fall Guys worth the asking price?

Pricing varies — check the store page in the sidebar for current and historical pricing.

What should I play if I want something like Fall Guys but already finished it?

The "Games like Fall Guys" list above is hand-curated — start there. The "You might also like" sidebar surfaces other entries in our database that share at least one genre tag, which catches looser matches the manual list might miss.

How long does Fall Guys take to beat?

Main story runtime varies — check the HowLongToBeat link in the sidebar for community-reported hours (Main / Main+Extras / Completionist). For most action games in this database, expect 6-15 hours for the main story, double that for completion.
