Below is a compilation of feedback in Party Animals's discord server about the current physics system of the game from many players (including some of my friends). The number of players is continuously decreasing ... do the developers truly care about the game they are developing?
The current physics engine in this game is seriously lacking, making gameplay frustrating and unpredictable. It also seems to struggle with handling multiple elements at once, leading to noticeable slowdowns and frame drops. Overall, the physics engine feels poorly optimized and in need of significant improvements.
(my feedback)
Gameplay feels awful in its current state. Please bring back old physics and interactions. Me and my friends who play the game really often don't find it nearly as fun as it was.

Well, I think the result will be worse if you touch the physical engine anymore. Why don't you guys postpone the patch for the physical engine for a while and make the new content a priority instead? Because the more you patch it, the more unconvincing knock out increase. There may be another unforeseen problem with further touch.

Party animals was great game, but what we have now? New combat system, new knockout system - Xbox players awakening much longer than PC players, Bots in almost every game. Devs, What have you done with the old Party Animals - a fun game for a night out with friends for some and a competitive game with ragdoll physics for others? (OffensiveName)
My friends and I have literally no desire to play this game anymore with the recent combat changes. It's been weeks since I have played, and I have completely and utterly lost interest. Please, please, please just revert all of these changes. Basically every component of the combat just feels inconsistent and clunky. How many times does it need to be said, man?

Please go back to Old Party Animals. A lot has changed and my friend and I play less frequently. Punch and kick are keys we use for knockouts, not just for knockbacks. Big action has knocked me out of stamina and made it so hard to kill opponents. I miss Old Party Animals in the clip. Please bring me a real Old Party Animals physical engine and play system, not a patch that changes similarly. All we want is the past. (Godo)
why have all physics based attacks been nerfed and weapons now will kill you in 1 hit? i used to be addicted to this game but now it feels really insufferable to play. please bring back the old physics, this game is much less fun now. (Jinki)
I miss the days of...
snappier punches
faster turning speeds
the old wake up times
better throwing/grabbing
being able to consistently fling
easier stamina management
dropkicks being balanced yet effective
small punches not being such a thing
climbing actually working
animals not being made of sponge and flapping away when hit
better character handling
inputs being pretty much consistent
etc...
You guys had the gameplay down to perfection basically.
Your community wants to go back to those old settings.
It's so frustrating seeing those clips now and thinking back how much fun the game once was.

- So after long wait PA to revert the physic. I finally decided to uninstall this mess and never look back. I play couple match each day from 3 days ago and never feel satisfied with classic PA and my controller keep randomly not detected my input.
Physic : Revert PA Physic because old physic was better and smoother (Bring back OG Fling)
Ping Issue : Why do I keep send myself server with bots and higher ping?! with the new physic making it worse and unplayable.
Overall : Stop adding skin, You can recycle the old unique skin that has been not in shop and more maps/tracks. Adding more game mode will likely cause other game mode to die.
What the duck add hidden cooldown on strong punch?? No!

- This game actually feels so unplayable now. From longer knockout times on console vs PC, punches or dropkicks or headbutts not hitting, climbing being horrendous, the lag, characters feeling clunky, etc. It doesn't make the game fun AT ALL to play and actually very frustrating. Like an above comment suggests ^ revert the gameplay mechanics to how they originally were. Trying to change things that didn't need changing just screwed everything up, and is causing a downfall for the game
