Thankfully, the current version of Clustertruck suggests that it’s coming along just fine, and should make for one unique platforming experience indeed.Ĭlustertruck, as mentioned above, is a game revolving around truck-based parkour, where the goal is to leap across a series of moving trucks in order to make it to the finish line. And it’s easy to see how tinyBuild and developer Landfall Games could potentially fall into that trap with Clustertruck, their upcoming first-person action game about jumping on trucks, with the vehicles in question flinging about wildly and making for a difficult game (in the wrong ways). In cases like those, you run the risk of gameplay being sacrificed in the favor of overly-goofy gimmicks, random elements and stuff that generally feels a bit buggy.

Also, if you are easily frustrated by platformers that have a lot of random shit and/or don't control 100% consistently, there's a good chance you will find this game irritating to play through.As I may have mentioned before, I do worry at times about games that rely on being deliberately chaotic and messy with their physics, such as Surgeon Simulator 2013. It's worth checking out based on the novelty of its gameplay alone, but considering it only has a couple hours' worth of content, it may be best to wait for a sale. I was quite entertained by the concept, but I certainly had my moments of frustration due to the controls and the overall random nature of some of the levels. There is a leaderboard aspect where you can try to get the best time for every level, but that's about it.Ĭlustertruck follows through on its pun by delivering a frenetic platforming experience atop a fleet of trucks. Other than that, there's not much to the game. Earning style points doesn't seem to be too troublesome, as far as I can tell. Unlocking these abilities is worthwhile, because not only do they make the platforming more fun, they definitely help in some of the tougher levels. These abilities either give you new movement options (like a double jump or a dash) or interesting powers (like the ability to slow down time). The only level I really had a problem with was the final one, as it was way too long.īeating a level rewards you with style points, which you can spend to unlock abilities.

While many of the levels are manageable (and pretty short), a few don't allow for a large margin of error, requiring either precise timing or getting ahead quickly to make a cycle. These gimmicks can range from entertaining (like having to jump across trucks flying in midair) to infuriating random bullshit (like hazards that instantly kill you but are annoyingly difficult to avoid). For instance, the steampunk world has a lot of pipes you have to avoid and an assortment of moving contraptions, whereas the laser world has, well, lasers. Each world has a theme to them, and that dictates the sort of mechanics you'll encounter within its levels. There are nine worlds, each with ten levels. In some levels, I wouldn't have any difficulty at all jumping across trucks, but in others, complete random horseshit would cause the trucks I need to either pile up and get stuck or careen into a ditch. There is still definitely an element of skill to the game since you have to constantly move from truck to truck, but in many instances, whether or not you make it to the end feels like complete luck. The level layouts will cause the trucks to swerve, crash, and fly in all sorts of directions, making getting to the end easier said than done. Although the trucks you have to stand on drive a set path at the start, shit is immediately thrown into disarray not long after. The game lives up to its pun by being incredibly chaotic.

Jumping onto the sides of trucks is frustratingly inconsistent, as it's a crapshoot whether you get that pull-up jump or if you just fall to your death. Movement is a tad floaty, and the way the game handles momentum can be odd at some points. In terms of controls, the platforming doesn't feel as comfortable as it could be. Your goal is to jump your way to the end of the levels, but the catch is that you can only stand on trucks that are driving along the paths. The best way to describe it is the most absurd incarnation of 'the floor is lava' ever conceived. The music is pretty upbeat, and fits the chaotic nature of the game quite well.Ĭlustertruck is a 3D platformer with a first person perspective. The models look nice and have a smoothness to them, and there are various level aesthetics that are pleasant to look at.

There is no story, but I would love to see some Hollywood screenwriter figure out a plot to this game.Ĭlustertruck looks decent overall, but other than that, there's not much I can say.

I saw it was on Game Pass PC and figured 'why not?' I watched a bunch of Let's Plays of this game and thought it was hilarious.
