I don’t think there’s a huge politics element in Fall Guys. It’s only a factor in three of the seven team mini-games, and only totally broken in one. And that’s why it sticks out for me when that broken game pops up.
Three Team Modes
- Egg Scramble: Your team’s basket must have the most eggs. - Vote who loses. There’s literally nothing the losing team can do except WAIT FOR 90 SECONDS until it is confirmed
- Rock ‘N’ Roll: Push a giant ball through a hindered course. - starts as a straight race, with only a minor vote who loses factor at the end
- Hoopsey Daisy: Jump and dive through the hoops to get more points for your team in the given time. - no politics at all, everyone is just trying to dive through hoops
- Hoarders: Make sure that when the time runs out, the ball is in your team’s zone. - some vote who loses factor, but with much more randomness than Egg Scramble as it’s played with highly bouncy balls*
The “politics” of the other non-team mini-games is much more about “follow the crowd and the doors will open for you and not others” or “the half of players on this side of the seesaw obstacle are more likely to fall”.
