Gang Beasts (2017)

All-in-all, Gang Beasts is a fun multiplayer romp that’s best enjoyed with a few friends after a couple of beers, but doesn’t hold up nearly as well once you try to take the party online. The derpy characters, intentionally awkward controls, and daft physics will bring plenty of laughs in a room full of pals, but become more frustrating as a solo experience. Ultimately, once you’ve played a few rounds in each mode there isn’t an awful lot of meat on the bone; Gang Beasts is an admittedly tasty morsel, it just carries the price tag of a prime cut.

Among the pros of a hybrid form ideal for local multiplayer and the cons of a network experience with the handbrake pulled, the conversion for Switch of Gang Beasts defends itself just enough to provide the Nintendo audience with the opportunity to recover one of the craziest party brawlers of recent years.

It may be small, but Gang Beasts on Switch still deals out a mean headbutt.

A game that offers fun mechanics, a firm gameplay, direct, well executed and quite nice. The bad part? Lack of modes, content and care, both in its presentation and in its interfaces.

Fun, crazy and thrilling - these three words accompanied me throughout the whole game. Good level design, funny characters and silly physics are features iconic to Gang Beasts. The great thing about the game is that you can't tell if it's a bug, because nothing surprises you here anymore. Just release more frequent updates with a new map and some skins and the game can live and entertain for a while longer.
