Human Fall Flat 2

Human: Fall Flat’s slapstick controls and ridiculous animation do a great job of making repeated, frustrating, and unfair failure at physics puzzles seem fun for a while. And when that fun runs out, you can extend it by bringing in a friend and drawing silly things on your goofball character. If you don’t play it, watch someone play it.

Human: Fall Flat is unquestionably charming, and tremendous fun when it’s not annoying me so much I want to find the developers and put staples in their toes.

An abrupt ending that doesn't have much of a climax and some moments of fist-clenching frustration keep Human: Fall Flat from the upper echelons of puzzle gaming, but it's still something I plan on going back to with friends. Plus, it lets you draw on your character, leading to the butt you see in all of the screenshots. Apparently, I wasn't the only one who thought this was hilarious. This one was for you, Laura!

Human: Fall Flat is a reasonably enjoyable puzzle platforming experience – especially if you bring a buddy along for the ride. Although its wacky controls and simplistic visuals may trip it up along the way, its solid variety of puzzles and beautiful music stop it from falling flat on its face.

Human Fall Flat recognises a simple truth - People falling down is hilarious, and when they're seemingly impervious to damage that's just an added guilt-free bonus. Playing as a wobbly, awkward avatar takes a lot of getting used to, and perhaps you never really get used to it at all, but the game leaves each level wide open to a variety of solutions to suit your own personal style. Tackling the five-to-six hour long adventure solo isn't entirely recommended, so if possible we'd definitely encourage getting a second player to join in on the fun, even if the game's performance takes a hit. While online multiplayer is sadly missing, we reckon that you and a fellow human might really fall for this little puzzler. Over and over and over again.

Human: Fall Flat is weird and it embraces its oddity enough to make it worth a full playthrough.

What I can say is that it still absolutely lives up to its name in the best way, and remains incredibly satisfying to play, especially on the Nintendo Switch 2. If you’ve been holding off for any reason, this really feels like the perfect time to jump in. There’s so much content here now, and the pick up and play nature makes it easy to get hooked. It’s the kind of puzzle game that’s easy to lose track of time with, and well worth diving into just to see what kind of chaos you can create along the way.

Human: Fall Flat’s physical clumsiness still works wonderfully, and Switch 2 makes it smoother and more comfortable, although this edition falls short on meaningful gameplay additions.

While it’s understandable that games that feature weird controls and physics won’t be for everyone, if you’re down for odd sandbox-style challenges and some silliness, this delivers

The transformation to VR hasn't just improved Human: Fall Flat - it's revealed what the game was always meant to be.
