8 Video Games That'll Make You Hate Your Friends

6. Fall Guys

I swear to any and all Gods that might be listening, Fall Guys may well be the evilest game I've ever come across in my entire gaming career.

Seriously, while it might look that butter wouldn't melt in its mouth thanks to its cute as hell aesthetics and music, that butter has only evaporated because the inside of this game is a hellscape, filled with !*$%, backstabbing, and "by god I'm going to absolutely murder you mate".

This all stems from the game's central conceit of "Win at all costs", which soon translates to "Survival of The Sh*ttest", rewarding players for blocking others off, exploiting level designs, and altogether making everyone else's lives as horrible as possible.

We all know the gut-punch of having your tail stolen in the final seconds of a match, but this is made all the more terrible when it's your supposed friend that's done you dirty.

And things only escalate if you both make it to the final round, where it all becomes very Lion King and each of your actions might as well scream "Long Live The King". Brutal.
