This task actually makes sense and is fun at the same time. When you get in a bulldozer you are asked to simply clear snow out of the way. It's not all that bad however, there are a few shining examples in this game that show just how much fun this entire concept could be. In the first mission alone you are tasked with moving a giant crane type machine into place, you are about 400 meters away and you move at about 2 m/s, so guess what….It takes over 1 minute for you to even get there, moving at about the speed of a snail. When you consider all of the fun concepts that could have easily come out of such a simple idea, why was it all of the boring aspects that were kept in the game? The game forces you to turn and move some of the slowest machines possible. The majority of the gameplay that is present here is a boring and hot mess. Run here, drive there, get from point a to point b and now slowly turn to get this giant bulldozer in just the right spot. Giant Machines 2017 probably has some the most simplistic gameplay out there. Giant Machines 2017 was developed by Code Horizon and is available on Steam for $19.99 Gameplay However the average gamer is probably going to find themselves only playing this game for a few hours at most, especially with the campaign only lasting about 3-4 hours and it's not an extremely entertaining campaign either. The sheer amount of types of gameplay they threw into this game shows just how much they wanted this to be an experience even for people who may not be interested in a giant machine. These tasks can be as varied as plowing snow in the mountains to driving through tornados in Missouri. The goal of this game is to do whatever your boss tells you to do, (sounds like life right?) whether that is changing out some radiator cords, or even just driving from point A to point B, you are going to be doing some extremely varied tasks in this game. The overall experience is shallow, but there is something there, just maybe not for everyone. This game is much more a simulator rather than a game, but that should not detract anyone from sitting down and considering enjoying this experience. Giant Machines 2017 has some great ideas on paper and in execution, but much like the largest brethren that are present in this game, they do fall short of greatness.
