There's not much point in dinging Gang Beasts for offering an online mode, because the online mode works as it should, and it's there for people who want it - we just found it a bit dull with strangers, is all. We rarely got more than two other people in our matchmaking attempts, so the matches were somewhat subdued as well as silent, but the connection seemed good, and the latency was perfectly fine. You can invite people, but they have to already be on your Switch friends list, which is admittedly pretty standard.Д¬aptured on Nintendo Switch (Handheld/Undocked) Sure, you can get a third-party app for voice chat, but that sort of defeats the point of a party game - although no one's really having parties right now anyway, which isn't Gang Beasts' fault. Without voice chat, which is not really one of the Nintendo Switch's strengths, Gang Beasts is a frustrating game about fighting unruly physics with a bunch of silent strangers.

It's more about laughing at the ridiculous wiggling bodies and their ineffectual floppy headbutts than it is about the skill required to actually be good at the game, and that's fine by us.Д«ut that does mean that Gang Beasts doesn't really work as well as an online multiplayer game. The winner is often, by default, the only person who didn't trip over their own feet - but that doesn't make it any less fun in Local Play, because the fun is the chaos.

Most matches end because people struggle to keep their jellyboys upright, let alone managing to punch anyone else off a ferris wheel.
