-Quick Review-
Human Fall Flat is a physics-based puzzle-platformer developed by No Brakes Games and released in 2016. Where you’re dropped into the game, laugh at the funny animation and antics, wave your arms around, and puzzle/parkour your way to the end of the level.
Hopefully you’re playing with friends, because this game is best enjoyed with friends! But you can play Human Fall Flat on your own or give the controller to your child to let them entertain themselves for a while.

-Detailed breakdown review-
Gameplay: The Controls for Human Fall Flat are pretty simple; you can play with a controller or keyboard and mouse, as usual I used Keyboard and Mouse. For Keyboard you move with WASD, jump with spacebar, aim where you’re grabbing with your camera which is controlled by the mouse, the right and left mouse buttons are used to grab with your hands.
You’re dropped into the level (literally) and need to get to the end-goal-objective somewhere in the level. All the levels have different themes and are floating in space. If you drop off the map, you will seamlessly “fall-respawn” to the last checkpoint you had.
One of the biggest praises for the game is that the levels are fairly open ended. In other words the level can be finished in a nonlinear fashion; Once I get dropped into the level I can play by the rules and solve the puzzles to get to the end… …*OR* I can channel my inner spiderman and parkour my way to the end.
There’s a total of 28 levels to get through, the developer No Brakes Games has released new levels over the years, which is always great! Personally I love it when developers keep making stuff and supporting their games. One of the strongest points for Human Fall Flat will be the Steam workshop which will give you downloadable fan-made-content for new levels and player skins! If you want to see just how far a game can go with community content just look at Garry’s Mod, or Skyrim.

Conclusion: I’ve enjoyed playing Human Fall Flat. But I’ve had the most fun playing with a group while in voice chat… The problem is my friend group doesn’t want to play anymore, so I was stuck playing through the rest of the 3/4's of the game by myself.
But I digress! It’s nice to occasionally play games which are simple, don’t have some deep lore storytelling thing going on. With Human Fall Flat, what you see is what you get. If you like it pick it up and enjoy! If not, give it a skip.
