Gang Beasts review

Gang Beasts is the pure slapstick pick. Boneloaf's Steam page calls it a silly multiplayer party game with gelatinous characters, brutal slapstick fights and absurd hazardous environments set in Beef City. Players grab, push, pull and shove rivals off scaffolds, ferris wheels and trucks, or into incinerator pits and industrial fans, and the floppy physics make even losing funny to watch. There is a melee mode against local and online enemies and a gang mode where friends team up against the gangs of Beef City, plus character customization. Steam users rate it Very Positive, with 85% of 26,266 English reviews positive, and it runs on Windows, macOS and Linux with 4 GB of RAM and 2 GB of storage. Boneloaf also sells it on the PlayStation Store, Nintendo eShop and Microsoft Store. The weak points are fewer modes than the minigame collections on this list and no published player count on the Steam page. It costs $19.99 on Steam.
