Gang Beasts was the original floppy-physics couch brawler and it still works. Wobbling around trying to throw your friend off a conveyor belt over a meat grinder is funny regardless of what year it is. The honest reason it missed the top ten is Party Animals. On PS5 in 2026, the newer game offers cleaner presentation, a more current platform release, and a less janky frame of reference for new players. Gang Beasts is still worth picking up if you find it cheap, and some groups swear by the original, but it is no longer the first recommendation in this category.

Players need to throw their opponents off platforms in order to be the last player standing. This involves landing some comical blows, including punching, grabbing, drop kicking and throwing. Blows knock characters backwards and, after a number of hits, they briefly fall to the ground. While there are some impact sounds, there are no sounds of pain and no sight of injuries. The violence is non-realistic in nature, in large part because of the gelatinous nature of the comic characters.
