Is Giant Machines 2017 worth it for you?
We tell you who should skip it, too.
Play it if you…
Good fit- Simulation players who want a connected campaign rather than standalone machine scenarios
- Players interested in operating construction, mining and transport machinery
- Score-focused players who want timed mission replays after the story
Skip it if you…
Saves you a refund- Players seeking open-ended construction or management systems rather than a fixed 14-mission campaign
- Players who prefer varied genres or character-driven action instead of repeated heavy-machinery operation
- Players looking for a game centered on puzzle solving, combat or role-playing
Our take on Giant Machines 2017
The defining structure is a 14-mission story that links heavy-equipment tasks across several locations to one unusual objective: launching a space shuttle to the International Space Station.
What is Giant Machines 2017?
Operate seven large industrial machines across a 14-mission story campaign set in Greenland, Canada, Wyoming, Missouri and Florida.
Missions involve tasks such as demolishing structures, moving earth and materials, mining radioactive ores, cutting metal and transporting machines or a space shuttle. The campaign leads to launching a shuttle to the International Space Station. Machines use analog controls for actuators and cranes, with physics simulation and cockpit views. After completing the campaign, Time Attack opens selected missions with bronze, silver and gold medals and high-score entries. A Machine Library presents 3D models with technical parameters and performance data. Custom radio supports audio files placed in a designated folder.
