I

dig PUBG. My kids are into Roblox and

Minecraft. We’re all wildly in love with

Fall Guys: Ultimate Knockout after playing

a closed technical beta one past

weekend. Turns out that a cute, colorful battle

royale party game was exactly the game I

need in the dark summer months of 2020.

This could very well be gaming’s next big hit

(which has launched on Steam [go.pcworld.

com/stfl] and PlayStation [go.pcworld.com/

psfl] since this writing). It’s just $20, but the

game will also be free for PlayStation Plus

subscribers—a recipe for success that helped

Rocket League blow up back in the day.

But more importantly, it’s an absolute

blast to play.

Fall Guys channels the feel of the old

Wipeout game show, if up to 60 contestants

The outrageously fun Fall Guys:

Ultimate Knockout could be

gaming’s next megahit

It’s like a battle royale, Mario Party, and the old ‘Wipeout’ game show

all mixed into one. BY BRAD CHACOS
