![]() ![]() I would definitely not recommend using a single joy con to play, but maybe that’s just me being picky. The controls were as easy to pick up as the first time you sit to play Gang Beasts, so I had no issue with that. Throw your friends in the deep end Fun for first time players Alas, the developers released the regular game with no special additions. For a game so familiar with its audience, I would’ve thought the release on Switch would lead to some Nintendo inspired levels, or at least a Mario and Luigi skin. ![]() In addition to this lag, I found the lack of new content also disappointing. If, like me, you have played this game prior to its release on Nintendo Switch, you will also know how smooth these levels are supposed to run. I gave these maps a good few goes to make sure it wasn’t my console. In any levels involving movement, be it falling objects like ‘chutes’ or background animation like in ‘lighthouse’, this will pretty drastically slow your match down. Anything that involves many characters moving and functioning in different ways on screen will always cause a dip, but this is a pretty severe example. So although I didn’t expect it for this title, I am somewhat not surprised. It isn’t unheard of the Nintendo Switch to reduce the quality and FPS of games. Which is a shame considering how enjoyable and quick I know this title can be. Any sort of movement causes a pretty intense drop in frame rate. Whilst the title runs smoothly on Xbox and PlayStation, the Nintendo Switch release feels unfinished and laggy. Having experienced Gang Beasts on several platforms, playing it on the Switch felt lacklustre. Go against all known laws of physics to win GAMEPLAY: Out with the old but not in with the new Character style is very similar to Human Fall Flat, where you can push your inhuman body to its limits without feeling any repercussions. There are few games which have made me have to clutch my stomach with laughter, but Gang Beasts is definitely one responsible for that. You play a sort of, gelatinous character, with very little bone structure. There are numerous dangerous locations to brawl in, using the decaying city to your advantage. Which is what I would argue to be one of the main selling points to Gang Beasts.Įssentially, you are a citizen of ‘Beef City’ where you are constantly engaging in hilarious slapstick violence with fellow city goers. You can just pick up a controller and have a good time. You don’t have to worry about playing the same levels over and over again, mastering the script and knowing all the secrets to success. I think that’s one of the reasons it is such a popular party game. Unlike other fast paced co-op games like Overcooked or Castle Crashers, which both have a set in stone campaign to follow – Gang Beasts just doesn’t. There’s no campaign, no quest it is just a free for all from the beginning. If you weren’t already familiar with the party game, there isn’t a story to follow. Recommending Gang Beasts to you is easy because even though it has a few misses here and there in the end it's fun, full of humor, and another title at an reasonable price to add to your Xbox library.3.1) Something to rely on STORY: Good things come to those who wait ![]() Despite the little issues you will return back to this game over and over because it offers you a variety of environments and they all provide action. ![]() There isn’t a huge amount of content and the controls being fun can frustrate you a little if played for too long. I will say that the game is best played in short bursts because it does still get repetitive somewhat quickly. Everything from movement to the great combat elements is kinda silly and when you combine that with the presentation of the game you end up with the almost perfect party game. Thankfully Gang Beasts finally arrived on the Xbox One and while it's not perfect, we can all enjoy a laugh and fun in the gameplay. I enjoyed the combat because not only is the movement fun but taking out your friends is always rewarding so you can trash talk during the process. Gang Beasts does have a bit of a learning curve to say the least, and while I never thought this game was going to release on the Xbox One it Gang Beasts does have a bit of a learning curve to say the least, and while I never thought this game was going to release on the Xbox One it finally has. ![]()
