The Fall Guys (PS5) – Still a Blast Despite Mtx Interference

Due to its simple premise, lovable jellybean characters, and addictive structure, Fall Guys rocketed to stardom in 2020. Mediatonic has supported the 60-player platformer well with multiple seasons full of new content despite waning enthusiasm for the game. It’s free-to-play now, so a whole new audience can enjoy it.

Up to 59 people compete online in a wide variety of obstacle courses. The last remaining player wins, earning currency, experience, and bragging rights. With your winnings, you can unlock a variety of cosmetic items to adorn your clumsy little bean, and then you’ll do it again. The loop remains intact, and with dozens of round types and playlists, repetition can mostly be ignored.

Running, jumping, and grabbing your way to victory in Fall Guys is solid dumb fun, whether you’re playing solo or team up in doubles or squads. With crossplay support, there are plenty of people to play with. With its purposely chaotic nature, the game is great for playing with friends.

One of the main shortcomings is the new economy; unlike previously, Crowns cannot be used to buy the best costumes in the shop, and Kudos have become harder to earn. Instead of earning Crowns, you earn Show-Bucks, a premium currency for all the coolest stuff, which hurts a little after years of unlimited access. Winning is less impactful since you can just purchase all the rarer stuff. Despite the free Fame Pass, there is now a premium tier, which is the only way you can earn Show-Bucks without buying them. Even with these concerns, Fall Guys is still a blast, and thankfully none of the items you can purchase alter gameplay. There’s so much to like about Fall Guys, and now everyone can play it.
