Most notably, Party Animals has introduced a solid pool of weapons. However, the team at Recreate has not only brought new layers to make whichever mode you decide to play more engaging and fun than ever before, but better execution on controlling your character – whether it be throwing or even climbing back up to a stage that doesn’t automatically kill you.

It’s hard not to mention that Party Animals seems to be directly inspired by the hit indie Gang Beasts, what with the similar wonky ragdoll physics and gameplay structure. Even though it is still a work in progress, this is shaping up to be a chaotic playground – like all good party games should be.

Playing as one of many cute bipedal animals trying to punch, headbutt, and straight up kill one another, there was an endless amount of yelling and cheering regardless of whether we were working as a team or if it was every player for themselves. That is exactly how I felt after playing two straight hours of Party Animals, the latest big party game on the horizon. The best kind of games to play in a group are the ones where you are laughing the entire time without needlessly walking away upset on whether or not you won the last round.
