My First Encounter with Fall Guys

Back in 2020, during the first main Covid state of emergency, my friends and I became very bored since we just had to stay inside.

By the middle of the year, we had already played multiple games together and got bored of most of them.

We even got bored of Among Us, which was a very trendy game at the time.

But then we heard about a new game called Fall Guys.

Initially, when I saw the game, I thought it was just a mindless game for little children since the appearance was very non-threatening and colorful.

It was also around $30, which I thought was very steep for the type of game it looked like.

But one of my friends informed me it was temporarily free on Playstation as long as you had Playstation plus. So I downloaded the game and got into a party chat with a few of my friends.

Initially, the game seemed very boring until we played a few rounds. That’s when I released it…
