Fall Guys review

Fall Guys is the best free option on this list. Nintendo's store page describes it as a free, cross-platform massively multiplayer party royale game where players clumsily compete in obstacle courses or build their own courses to share. The listing shows up to 32 players online and a 2.4 GB download on both Switch and Switch 2, and its cross-platform play means friends on different systems can queue together. Rules need no explanation: run, jump and do not fall. The trade-off for parties in one room is big: the Switch listing shows a single player per system, so each guest needs their own console or device. It also includes in-game purchases. As a free warm-up or a remote game night for friends who already own different consoles, it costs nothing to try.
