Fall Guys (nee Ultimate Knockout) is such a pristine concept. I remember seeing the game highlighted in whatever it was that replaced E3 in 2020. And, to be completely honest? I was sold on the colorful chaos from the jump. It reminded me of real-world game shows like Ninja Warrior and Wipeout. OK, I’ll admit it reminded me of the latter more than it did the former, but … whatever!!
But, one of the game’s biggest problems on a subjective level is its round algorithm. Fall Guys has a ton of really fun and interesting rounds (and a couple that are objectively awful). But, more often than not, it’ll make you play the same handful of rounds each show, which I think is a real shame! So, in an effort to see how far the game has come in terms of level design, let’s rank each round in a tier list!

It should be noted, however, that tier lists by nature are incredibly subjective. I may find a round more fun or well-designed than you do, and that’s perfectly valid! I also won’t be ranking every single round, as, like I wrote, I haven’t gotten the chance to play every single round. Without further ado, here we go!!

OK — now that that’s finished, I’m going to play more Fall Guys. I hope to see y’all in-game! And, if for any reason you disagree with my rankings, again, that’s perfectly valid. Unless you think Tail Tag is good. I can’t be seen associating with anyone who thinks Tail Tag is a good round. I still have my pride!
