On the flipside, Gang Beasts naturally comes into its own at parties, with multiple players trying to knock each other off the map like an impromptu Royal Rumble just started on a rooftop or a freight train. In truth, the only reason to buy this game if you don’t have friends is for the admittedly easy 1000G. There is an online multiplayer experience, with support for public and private games, but solo matchmaking to play this game online just isn’t the same as hearing and/or seeing your friend get salty because you knocked them out with a sweet headbutt. The game is specifically designed for local multiplayer experiences. We’ll get this out of the way now, but Gang Beasts does not cater to the solo player experience. The bumpers control your hands, with taps resulting in punches while holding the bumpers lets you grab onto things like the environment or your opponent’s face. You control a customisable gelatinous blob who must fight other customisable gelatinous blobs by knocking them out and chucking them off the map.

Even though it’s been out for about a year and a half on PC and PS4 (and been in Early Access even longer), Gang Beasts still manages to draw in the laughs, and this Xbox One version is no exception, so long as you have the mates to enjoy it with. If you’ve been living under a rock for the past couple of years, Gang Beasts is a physics based multiplayer brawler placed in the same category as Human: Fall Flat for “Games That Do Big Numbers Online”. Talk about “striking while the iron is tepid”. Unfortunately, the game has been available for a really long time on PC and PS4, so it feels like the hype has pretty much subsided for the Xbox One release. It took Boneloaf and Double Fine long enough to bring Gang Beasts over to the Xbox One, but that day has finally arrived.
