Giant Machines 2017 on PS5 is another game I am grateful to Ultimate Games for sending me to Review. The game itself is a simple concept; they take some of the biggest machines known to man and let people use them to help launch a spaceship. The type they used to rip a mountain to pieces, for example. Some of these things are quite literally bigger than houses.
The issue is that the game is terrible. Driving a huge dump truck and hitting even a small guardrail will send your truck bouncing around like a character from a fighting game. If this wasn’t bad enough, sometimes you don’t have to hit anything to make this happen. You can mitigate this by staying on the road, but not everywhere you need to be is even near the road.
You would think that maybe using a huge saw and tearing apart a mountain would at least be fun, but you would be wrong there as well. I never expected getting this thing into position to be fast, since you are essentially moving a small building around. I did, however, expect it to be entertaining in some form when I got there. It was really just frustrating.
Steer very clear of this game. Between the bugs, lack of polish, and the fact that the game was originally released back in September 2016 on Steam, there is no reason to buy this 3/10 experience. I’ve never driven these machines in real life, but I have driven some large machinery, and it fails in every way as a simulator and as entertainment. Best wishes, and may the gaming gods bring you glory.
You will notice above I have a picture of Mecha Godzilla. He isn’t in the game, but he is a giant machine. I wanted something positive in this post, and this is what you are getting.
