Unlike Mirror’s Edge you have no feet, so you can’t judge where you’re going to land or if you’ve dodged obstacles. The typical issues with first-person platforming return here. There are nine worlds with ten stages each, and most of the length is created from seemingly impossible demands.
The Joy of UnfairnessĬlustertruck is a cruel game that is designed to kill you. This means you will constantly be surprised by new ways to die. Since chaos theory is a hateful branch of mathematics, trucks often do not follow the same behavior between levels. Levels force you to make 90-degree turns onto new lines of big rigs, or dive blindly across chasms, or scramble to dodge oncoming traffic that will smack your ride around in unpredictable angles. You leap desperately forward, not entirely sure where you’ll land, hoping a truck bed is below you. You’re navigating a frenetic automobile frenzy. Trucks are thrown in every direction, and you must leap through the chaos to reach the goal. Huge pendulums knock trucks off the highway. The game continues to get crazier and crazier until you’re in Hell, fighting Satan who is a fiery giant made out of trucks. Imagine Mad Max: Fury Road but with extra helpings of pure motor mass, and you have Clustertruck. Clustertruck is the standard highway chase sequence of any Hollywood movie turned up to the point of wonderful absurdity.
You must hop through a caravan of identical white tractor-trailers as they charge down environments and collide into each other. You can tell that the luck factor is very much there, but there's still a ton of skill involved and it's a fun journey trying to master all the mechanics it has to offer.Ībsolutely can't recommend this game enough, non-stop dopamine rushes guaranteed.Clustertruck is a game about jumping through a cluster *beep* of trucks without touching the ground or hitting obstacles. Very quickly you'll stop noticing that, and the game will feel very much natural.Īs someone who doesn't even like platformers all that much to begin with, I was more than pleasantly surprised to find out how fun this game could actually be! I've only watched some gameplay footage of it, so I didn't expect to see anywhere near the amount of content it really has. It's just a small heads up for anyone who might or might not be in the same boat as me before getting the game. Not that it's a bad thing of course, it has its own style and I've grown to very much like it as I've played the game more and more. I grew up playing Valve's GoldSrc and Source games, so some of the movement mechanics felt pretty weird to me. This game has been on my wishlist for as far as I can remember, and while I have been keeping an eye out for it I never really felt the need to get the game, until recently when a friend of mine gifted it to me and realized that I should have gotten this game way sooner.
