Cloudbuilt Reviews

Cloudbuilt is frustrating. It’s frustrating to play and frustrating to recommend. I like the style, I like the parkour mechanics overall, but there’s a lot of junk to contend with. The antagonistic design (minefields everywhere) is one thing, but the unforgiving checkpoints and limited lives lead to a lot of repetition. Meanwhile, the combat ends up about as unsatisfying as Mirror’s Edge, with worse enemies that either absorb too many bullets or deflect them with shields anyway. If you want something that is going to fight you every step of the way as you shave seconds off of run times (and you have a strong pinky finger), this is for you.

Cloudbuilt is in no way a bad game, but it does have its flaws; the worst of which are the controls and difficulty curve.  If you can get past those, though, you'll find a fairly decent and fun game in a genre that doesn't see a lot of entries. If speed running is your thing, definitely give this one a shot.

Cloudbuilt brings an exciting, fresh action-platforming game to the PC platform. It boasts a killer art style and polished mechanics, but I could never quite get a handle on the controls, which ended up leaving me with a feeling of constant frustration

Despite cribbing notes from a number of gaming vets, Cloudbuilt manages to be its own beast. Its debut effort is a love letter to fans of all things stylish, those of us who live for perfect ranks, achievements, and the top of the leaderboards.

Cloudbuilt is a pretty game with a strong incentive to replay. If your primary interest is in a story, it’s probably not for you. If you’re more intrigued by jetpacks, rocket boosts, wall-running and the thrill of flying off a ramp as you make your way to levels end as fast as you ruddy well can, Cloudbuilt is heartily recommended.
