    Rubber Bandits is an amazing game to play with friends, and you’ll have a lot of fun. The downside is that there aren’t that many game modes, so after a while it can get a bit repetitive. Still, it’s a really good game.

  • [9]Steam user Steam user …1554Steam review · Mar 30, 2026 · Recommended

    Rubber Bandits is absolutely crazy. I first played it when it was free, and I couldn’t stop laughing—every round with friends is more chaotic than the last. You fight, jump, shoot, and laugh nonstop. Simple, absurd, and unforgettable never a dull moment.

  • [3]Steam user Steam user …7761Steam review · Jun 11, 2026 · Recommended

    ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A fantastic party game for friends and family! Easy to learn, no high skill required, and the chaos starts immediately. The mini-games are hilarious, and every match is guaranteed to bring laughs. Definitely a must-have for game nights.

    If you want a good story game, NieR Replicant and NieR Automata are phenominal (Automata is a sequel but both are standalone games so you can play either). Shameless plug of the [NieR Lemmy](https://lemm.ee/c/nier). Rain World is an incredible work of art. Hard as hell but genuinely an amazing experience unlike others and I highly recommend it, and the DLC is the single best DLC I've ever seen for any video game (and I haven't even finished the DLC despite spending tens of hours on it).

    One of the funniest games to play with friends. The maps and game modes are really fun, and the character costumes makes it even better. I really wish the developer would add support for more players. Right now, it’s limited to 4 players only, which feels a bit low for a game like this. Definitely give this one a try if you want some stupidly fun moments with your friends.

    2 other people play on my account from sub accounts on the console. They each play multiple games per month. $12 is less than $60, so even a single new game each month saves me money. Paying for demos? I'm not sure why you think there aren't any good games on there. Halo, Starfield, Fallout, Cities Skylines, Forza, Mass Effect, Tomb Raider, Far Cry, Assassins Creed, Yakuza, Dead Space, blah blah blah. And that's not including all the smaller games my kids have found. Human Fall Flat, Rubber…

    Rubber Bandits, developed by Flashbulb Games, is a chaotic, slapstick multiplayer party brawler that leans heavily into absurd humor and fast-paced action. Available on Steam and other platforms, the game invites players to embody cartoonish criminals as they attempt to steal loot, sabotage each other, and escape the scene—usually in hilarious, over-the-top fashion. While the core mechanics are simple and accessible, the combination of unpredictable physics, vibrant visuals, and competitive…

    I played Rubber Bandits with a solid internet connection, and still got network issues right in the middle of matches. The game also has this super dumb mechanic where jumping creates a decoy of you, making it feel like someone else joined your game. Doesn’t matter if you’re on controller or mouse and keyboard, it’s just broken. Overall, it feels like a cheap and fake version of Gang Beasts.
