"A Definite Letdown"
Man, this season should have been so much better. They had an easy opportunity to spice up the game by adding new types of minigames, changing the leveling system, increasing the amount of playing vs. watching, and fixing numerous bugs/janky gameplay issues. However, there was little content added, a lackluster battle pass, and pretty much zero additions to the gameplay in order to make it smoother.
There were some minigames that saw removal and frequency reduction very early on, making this feel like a chore of a season to play. After a few weeks I just completely dipped, not caring much about the rest of the battle pass after unlocking the Alien. The new maps were slight improvements on the formula, but the formula already feels like it has run its course.
I'm unsure if I will continue to play this game at the moment. At the time of this review, "Fall Guys" is partially through Season 3, but I don't know what would bring me to check it out besides trying to unlock Spongebob Squarepants (which I likely won't do considering it's a Level 100 unlock - also, I don't play games just to unlock things if they aren't fun to play...). I just find this developer to be too unoriginal with adding content, and the fact that hex-based game modes are the most interesting despite all being the same shows how little fun there really is in this title. There needs to be better minigames besides the crappy races and button mashing ones being added. Hopefully they can improve and I'll come back in the future - or maybe another developer can improve this genre just a bit more by releasing a more creative title.
Final Verdict: 4/10 (Below Average)
