As we said before, this title is one of the peculiar additions to the Battle Royale genre. Unlike other BR titles, this game does not feature a steep learning curve and is simple and straightforward. Basically, the entire game is crafted as an elaborate hurdle race, where eliminations take place after each level. The objective is to touch the crown at the end of the race before everyone.

Moreover, it is a rare breed of non-violent BR title, making it a title for all ages to enjoy. If you have not played Fall Guys yet, we have to say, you are missing out on a lot!
