Gang Beasts | 123Go!
We take on another Brawler game, but this one has a twist. It integrates a physics engine where the goal is to throw your opponents out of the stage for them to fall to their death. Think Human Fall Flat but as a brawler.

Having recently player Human Fall Flat, this game feels strikingly similar. The controls aren't exactly the same, but enough of it is that you can pick it up quickly. If you haven't played HFF, you may have a steeper learning curve, but it shouldn't be too much. While the controls are simple, controlling you character is not. I felt like I was my own worst enemy try to crawl out of a vat of Jello. After a little practice, you will start to get the hang of it, but trying to hurdle your opponents out of the ring still seems ungodly challenging. I felt so frustrated with my lack of coordination and inability to execute what would normally seem like simple tasks, that my appreciation for the game began to waiver. That being said, this is a good casual pickup game to play with friends. I couldn't honestly seeing this being to much fun for me as a pickup game with random people, but it can be a solid time filler with friends and extract some laughs from everyone.

I like this game. The floppy mechanics can be frustrating at times, but the simplicity makes it enjoyable. I wish that you had more control over some of the aspects like lifting people up and throwing them or even just landing a punch, but overall I like playing this game. I know that with the fun and entertainment that I had playing it, it's one that I will definitely come back to and play in the future.
