The verdict
Gang Beasts is a hilarious ragdoll brawler that shines in local or private play with friends. Skip it if you rely on online play: lobbies, ping and connection bugs are rampant, and content is stale.
Great for
Groups of friends or family who want chaotic, goofy couch or private-lobby brawls
Main risk
Online lobbies, joining friends and high ping often fail, so you can't actually play together
What players love
Goofy ragdoll physics and janky fighting

“In some games, jankiness is avoided. Gang Beasts, however, embraces the jankiness, and becomes all the more awesome.”
