For example, if you fly into the back of a truck and jump against it, your character flies into the air, but if you jump off the side of a truck, you gain a ton of forward momentum. I mean the trucks move fine, but certain things just don’t make sense. First, the game is completely physics-based, but the physics aren’t exactly great. That being said, this game does have major issues. Still, I got to the end of the game using nothing but slow-mo and double jumping, so this wasn’t a major issue. So I give it a shot and didn’t notice a difference, so I honestly have no clue what it does. For example, this one says I can do a midair flip, but it doesn’t tell me what that means in-game. Two upgrades can be activated at a time and while some are certainly more useful than others, the only real downside is that some of them don’t have proper descriptions. And if a level is too difficult, the player can always use the points they’ve earned to purchase new abilities in the shop. Over and over until finally beating the level. And that’s not a bad thing since this game thrives on its gameplay style of if at first you don’t succeed, try try again. Everything loads almost immediately, which is good because anyone playing this game is sure to die a lot. Almost every stage throws a new gimmick or mechanic at the player, making for some super fun level variety. Moving onto the gameplay, we have 9 worlds with 10 stages each. It’s varied, fast-paced, and really great for getting the player amped up to take on whatever the game has to throw at them. And this is helped out by the simple polygonal graphic style that keeps everything looking neat and tidy. Be it forest, arctic, steampunk, or even hell itself, this game’s got some great environments. There are 9 worlds and each has its own unique theme. So, what is it about Clustertruck that makes it so much fun? Well to start things off, I really like the simplistic visual design. If you manage to reach the goal, you’re given a score based on your speed, whether or not this is your first attempt, and how many tricks you performed along the way, such as jumping off a truck in mid air. One misplaced jump and you’re sent straight back to the beginning of the stage. And there are obstacles and pitfalls all over the place forcing you to jump from truck to truck to get to the end safely. You’re not allowed to touch anything besides the trucks. The goal of the game is to get to the end of each stage by riding on the tops of semi trucks. Let’s get on thing out of the way first, you will never find a game like Clustertruck anywhere else. Of course, first-person platformers are usually a crapshoot with their controls, so is Clustertruck going to rise above its perspective or fall flat on its face? Let’s find out in my Mighty Review of… Clustertruck! It’s an insane game combining the rules of the floor is lava with the parkour gameplay of Mirror’s Edge. Clustertruck is a game developed by Landfall games in 2016 for the PS4, PC, and Xbox One.
