On this episode of The Middle School Mind podcast, we talk about one of our favorite games on the Xbox One, Gang Beasts.

The game has multiple game modes for single and multiplayer local and online contests. The game has Jello-like characters punch and headbutt one another in a battle-royale where the goal is to throw your opponents off the level and be the last-man standing.

There are different modes that have up to 8 players battling each other online. This is a game we can pick up for a quick best of 5 rounds series. We always laugh playing this game because of all the fun characters you can pick and the floppy movements can result in some awesome knockouts.

Here’s what we cover in this episode:

We talk about the gameplay and where to get this game on Xbox.
We talk about all the fun character costumes.

We play a quick game and talk through the gameplay.
It’s a violent game, but it’s like cartoon violence. Parents should review the game and see if it’s suitable for their kids.
Here’s how Son rates Gang Beasts for the Xbox One:
- 5/5 for Replayability
- 3/5 for Graphics
- 3/5 for Sound
- 4/5 for Gameplay
Overall, Gang Beasts is 4.5/5 because it’s fun, we laugh at the characters. It’s a game you can pick up and play a round or two and relax over 15 to 20 minutes at a time. There’s not a story mode or anything to think of.

Father's secondary go-to is the Accountant by day, Wrestler by night guy on the left. Son's go-to is the green dino. — Father’s secondary go-to character is the Accountant by day, Wrestler by night character on the left complete with comb-over.
