For me, it was soon after launch. I&#8217;d been playing for a week, reached a few finals previously and Fall Mountain was up. Eight players were left, my three party members were out and crucially, I started at the back row. Not great odds, but once we began, the cannons became my new friends. Knocking over several contenders, I swiftly dodged those spinning hammers, two players jumped early and once they&#8217;d missed, that crown was mine. What a rush that gave me.<\/p>\n<p>Generally, big multiplayer games aren&#8217;t my normal go-to and shooters rarely grab my attention, so battle royales like Apex or Fortnite never cut it. As a platforming fan, Fall Guys held my interest immediately through its unique premise, offering a 60-player game show as we (usually) competed across platforming courses. I was hooked but that initial feeling didn&#8217;t last. I&#8217;m familiar with Season 2 and 3&#8217;s content, having played it in subsequent seasons, though I barely recall them at the time.<\/p>\n<p>For a time, my interest waned gradually, only playing once or twice a month. Like any live service game though, Fall Guys gradually evolved and a year later, Mediatonic&#8217;s implemented significant changes which cemented this experience. Show Selector let us choose which playlist to participate in, stage variants were introduced, while challenges provided extra kudos and crown shards. That&#8217;s without mentioning custom lobbies and PC\/PS4 cross-play, I can go on. All great additions, but what brought me back was Squads Show in Season 4. Arguably, nothing&#8217;s transformed this experience more. <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.eurogamer.net\/articles\/2021-09-04-fall-guys-has-never-been-better-with-friends-and-thats-thanks-to-squads\">Read more<\/a><\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eurogamer.net\/articles\/2021-09-04-fall-guys-has-never-been-better-with-friends-and-thats-thanks-to-squads\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Do you remember your first Fall Guys win?
