  2. [R3] Stumble Guys 3/5 · US It got worse :(: So I’ve been playing stumble guys for a few years and the updates were more and more fun but with the newer stumble pass, customization screen, missions, and main screen have just sucked A LOT. The newer simpler abilities have made the game less fun and it feels like the progress I made for those just got reduced to nothing. I am writing this review to hope the devs read it and m

  7. [R39] Stumble Guys 3/5 · GB Now pay to win …: It was a really fun game to play but instead of every player being equal the ‘pay to win’ losers can now suddenly shoot you and push you about etc. etc. , Another good game spoiled by greed and pathetic ‘win’ buyers.

  17. [R12] Stumble Guys 3/5 · US The app is great, but why can't we create our own games or content? I got really mad when the season rank reset. Little kids who worked hard to get close to champion probably get double mad. Also, the ads after every round are too much. I have millions of ability tokens but no outfits, just a tee. · translated
  18.

  19. [R4] Stumble Guys 1/5 · US Just play fall guys it’s better and still free: Just a fall guys ripoff lol
  20. [R17] Stumble Guys 5/5 · US Yay: This is like a fall guys alternative
  21. [R49] Stumble Guys 1/5 · US Garbage knockoff: A cheap, poorly made knockoff of fall guys. Just a bland unoriginal game trying to make a quick buck off of its success, don’t support the scummy devs that made this. The good reviews are either bots, or stupid 3 year olds spending their moms credit card to buy the mr beast skin.
  22. [R53] Stumble Guys 5/5 · US Rating: The game is just like fall guys but better
  23. [R21] Stumble Guys 3/5 · US Adds!!!!: Why are there adds every single time you finish one round? Other than that it’s very good game
  24. [R51] Stumble Guys 3/5 · GB Good I guess: It’s a great game but there’s just too many levels that are too hard for beginners also way too many adverts I hope this game gets better and not being so bias to players who understand the game also you must be prepared to be able to play for a long period but if you are not willing to do that then avoid downloading and also after every game it will give you an advert but even with
  25. [R73] Brawl Stars 2/5 · US This game is trash: I’ve been playing this game for a while now with my friends and in my opinion this game sucks .this is why getting all the brawlers is impossible without having to pay getting to max a brawlers requires a lot of time just to you not like the brawlers and having to max another one plus the game runs so slow I have a iPhone 16 and the game runs so bad the only thing they do is a
  26. [R82] Brawl Stars 2/5 · US Free to Pay?: This game is a decent game without ads dominating the market because mobile gaming has been poor since the beginning of the fight against console. Comparing crickets with cockroaches. Brawl has a very low entry rate to join but you will have the power of a cricket and physically impossible to win. Considering you sell your house and car you might have the chance to get a maxed out ac
  27. [R100] Brawl Stars 2/5 · US Pay to win game: The game is more and more like a pay to win game now. Not fun. Even daily quest becomes a bit of a hassle to complete. Waste of time.
  28. [R113] Brawl Stars 1/5 · US NOT worth the download: I’ve played this game for years and I can confidently say it has started to go down the drain. Buffies are the newest addition and are absolutely terrible, widening the pay to win gap at mid levels especially, motivating you to spend obscene amounts to get the newest brawler who is purposefully made overpowered or the new buffies that ruin the base kit of a brawler but then
  29. [R63] Brawl Stars 3/5 · US Matchmaking and taking grief play seriously: I really enjoy this game but the matchmaking and solo Que with randoms is ridiculous. I shouldnt be a peak mythic 3 player random queing with a peak gold player at ALL. It’s ridiculous. I just played a match where the enemy team consisted of a meteor fame player, a player with 90 prestige and a player with solar fame, while I have a teammate who locks e
  30. [R64] Brawl Stars 1/5 · US Give me actually players with a brain: So I’m tryna get the new brawler from the brawler box game mode thing and tell me why I’ve gone into every game HARD CARRYING MY BRAIN DEAD teammates and losing every single time. Like when do I get good people for once.
  31. [R66] Brawl Stars 3/5 · US Unbalanced Mayhem: Brawl Stars is a decent game with a basic concept, though it’s only fun when it’s balanced. Which it isn’t at all, if you don’t use a specific selective amount of brawlers, you’re just dead from the unfairness. They encourage the unbalancing and do not nerf and buff the needed. It won’t make it another year if they continue to add buffies that make the game horrible. You can’t e
  32. [R76] Brawl Stars 1/5 · US Bad matchmaking: Horrible Matchmaking , playing against a person who has 7+ brawlers in their 2nd primes and getting teammates who does not have a single prime in their account .
