Tl;dr what doth life?

Final score: friends/5

Human: Fall Flat is a game about solving little physics-based puzzles to progress to the next area. It’s about completely ignoring the puzzles and just jumping over half the level. It’s about grieving other people and throwing them off the floating white island, that you are stranded on. But most importantly it’s about having fun with your friends.

For this reason I declare myself not to be in the fortunate position to review this game accurately in its fun factor or replayability. I can only tell you about things like purposefully frustrating mechanics, that give your character the cute, clumsy movement you’ve seen in YouTube videos where people are having fun… with their friends. If you would like to know more about the fun you can have with your friends in this game, don’t read my review. Because I don’t have any friends to play this with.

People might say that, it’s my fault for playing a game that is mostly only fun if you play it with friends, or that I am at fault for not having friends in the first place, and they would be absolutely correct. However, did this game make me forget the fact that I have no one to play it with? No, it did not. Maybe for one or two moments in which I was strategically trying to find a way to skip half the level that one time, but most of my playthrough was a constant reminder that I am alone and may very well be for the rest of my life.

If anything this game made me understand the importance of social skills and desirability of an interesting personality, which I do not possess. It confronted me with the minuteness of my own existence and brought me closer spiritually to the great empty and cold nothingness that is the universe – devoid of anything resembling human compassion. A nothingness that is deafeningly full of the harsh reality that we will never amount to anything meaningful in the lifespan of our species, as the meaninglessness of reality cannot be rivaled.

All in all, this is a good game and I would recommend it to people with friends.
As for anyone else? Maybe.
