The closest games to Gang Beasts are Stumble Guys, Human Fall Flat 2 and Ultimate Chicken Horse. Below, 9 picks with the reason for each — what carries over from Gang Beasts, and what does not.
Gang Beasts is a fighting game where nobody can control their own limbs. You grab, you stagger, you fall off a lorry, and the entire appeal is that skill barely helps. It is the single easiest game to put in front of people who do not play games.
Gang Beasts released on the PlayStation 4. The list below is not restricted to that console — a recommendation is only useful if you can actually play it, so it spans generations and platforms.
The same wobbly physics as a thirty-two player race, and free.
The same body, aimed at puzzles instead of a brawl.
Party platforming where everyone builds the level that kills them.
The most direct alternative, and prettier.
A board game that keeps stopping for minigames designed to end friendships.
Co-op chaos where the stress is the joke.
If you want a party fighter with a real skill ceiling underneath.
Obstacle-course chaos, free, and far better designed than it looks.
Four players, one arrow each, and the fastest local matches there are.
Several of these have their own page here: games like Stumble Guys, games like Human Fall Flat 2, games like Super Smash Bros.
The 3 of these picks that have a page here, and the console each is catalogued under. Most are on more platforms than one — remasters and back catalogues move constantly — so treat this as where to start looking rather than a complete availability list.
| Game | Catalogued under |

| Stumble Guys | PC |

| Super Smash Bros | N64 |
Stumble Guys. The same wobbly physics as a thirty-two player race, and free.

The picks above span platforms rather than sticking to the PS4, because the thing worth copying about Gang Beasts is not a property of the hardware. The PS4 list further down is the place to go for more from that library.
Because the thing you liked about Gang Beasts is not a property of the hardware. Restricting the list to one console would drop most of the good answers, so the picks above span platforms and eras. If you specifically want more from that library, the PS4 list further down is the place to start.
By hand, one game at a time, on what the source game actually does — its pacing, its movement, its difficulty, its tone. Genre tags alone put Gang Beasts next to games that feel nothing like it, so they are not the basis for this list. Each pick carries the reason it is here so you can judge it yourself.
