Fall Guys
Play it on: PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, Windows (Steam Deck: YMMV)
Current goal: Pay tribute to the fallen
I didn’t play Fall Guys very much at launch. It was fine, fun, and chaotic, and I’m still enamored with the results of some crossovers it’s featured over the years. (Beanified Gordon Freeman will live forever in my head rent free.) But after hearing the news about Epic laying off 16 percent of its workforce, members of Fall Guys developer Mediatonic included, I feel like jumping back in.
Sometimes you move on from a game so quickly that you forget people are still working on it long after you’ve uninstalled. Then you remember them again when there’s news of an acquisition, then news of layoffs. Fall Guys was never for me, but it was made by people just trying to get by like the rest of us. I think I want to see what they’ve been doing since the last time I pushed someone off the side of its silly obstacle courses. — Kenneth Shepard
