Review analysis summary (Reviewed Oct 22, 2026)

Wobbly ragdoll brawling with friends is what reviewers come for, and Gang Beasts scores 85.2 from 378 analyzed reviews.

👍 Strengths

Multiplayer comes up in 73% of analyzed reviews and ranks 155th of 642. 178 reviews say it is at its best played together with friends or siblings, describing countless sessions of laughing, shouting and arguing on the couch. 120 call it hilarious fun, saying you can lose badly and still laugh hard, and some say its floppy physics make it feel unlike anything else. A few praise the variety of maps and the silly sound effects, and others like that it runs on modest hardware.

👎 Where it falls short

Tech & Support ranks 963rd of 1399. 35 reviews report laggy servers and high ping online, and some say players far from the servers can barely play. 20 say online play with friends is unreliable, with broken invites, disconnects and long waits on the joining screen, and a few joke that the game is less fun without friends around. Some describe the controls as stiff or a little sloppy, and a few dislike the shared camera in local play. Content Volume ranks 832nd of 1351, and Pricing & Fairness ranks 800th of 1399.
