Levels like the Seesaw stage at times throw me for a complete loop. The beauty of battle royale games in general is that that no match will be the same as another, and Fall Guys does a good job at mixing things up. I prefer to hide out in a corner, away from the madness, only moving when somebody notices that I’m far too calm. In some of the wolf tail levels, my friends prefer to leap around, continuously moving around the stage to avoid getting their tail yanked from an opponent. My friends and I have realized we all have very different ideas about how to best handle each situation, and they all work at different times. Ultimately, the people who wrangle my character just to make me lose are just playing the game in their own weird way, which is another thing that makes Fall Guys so great. While this leaves a sour taste in my mouth when it happens in the rounds closer to the end, robbing me of any hope of winning, these toxic players don’t haunt me at night in the same way that say, a person ruining my 35-minute League of Legends match would. All games have their fair share of bizarre griefers who want to ruin another player’s day. Other times there are evil players who wait near the finish line and latch on to me there, sacrificing themselves just to prevent me from finishing.
Sometimes opposing players will latch onto me at the beginning of the round, setting us both behind. Players can still be jerks in Fall Guys, though. The stakes always seem low, and so many of the game’s design elements gently seem to remind everyone that this is all in good fun, so play nice. If any of my friends that I queued in with are still alive, I’ll stick around and watch them (try to) win.
If I don’t make it in this round, no problem, I’ll just quit and queue up again. It’s hard to stay mad at such a lighthearted game, as the characters coo and sputter gibberish as they bounce around the stages. The playful colors and silly sound effects serve as a permanent ice pack on my steaming head, keeping me from exploding. īesides, it’s all so doofy, and that tone is what keeps me playing instead of rage-quitting as I lose over and over, trying to come to terms with my strategy.
