If you have seen Takeshi’s Castle as a child, then you are in for a treat. The game is like a virtual representation of the TV show and has some hilarious obstacles. You’ll see stones that look like they’re offering you safe passage through the water, but some will sink, taking you down with it of you aren’t quick. The other is a Door Dash; you have to select the right door to pass because the others are a trap.

Respawn points are available that make the game pretty forgiving. But, you do get extra points for finishing higher than your opponents. Unlike other games, you dive straight into the action in Fall Guys: Ultimate Knockout. Either you can plunge directly into action or you can let the opponents in your path fall and then devise a plan.

Mediatonic is the mastermind behind this gem. The game comes in a variety of formats, with some free for all, some might be elimination based and some might also feature team challenges. These teams would be a random assortment of players who have to survive together in order to progress to the next round.

There is a simple way of earning rewards. You either win crowns (only after winning a match) or kudos (for playing in general and for improvement). These can be used to purchase unique skins like that of a pirate and whimsical items like French Fries. Fall Guys: Ultimate Knockout is a delightful game that will be exciting to play and explore.
