    Super Cloudbuilt has the potential for unlimited playability simply due to the fact that there is always a higher challenge to aim for. The downside to this, however, is an intense level of frustration from repeated failure. The visual aesthetic and puzzles are commendable, but the awe doesn’t even register in comparison to the amazement you can experience due to your own reflexes and persistence – if you ever actually manage to make progress.

    Super Frustrating
    Super cloudbuilt is a parquor platforming game where you play as a young soldier named Demi who disconnected from her old life and physical body..
    This game consists of a 5 hour long story mode, as well as challenge modes ranked and rush...
    And I am completely awful at this game…
    I found Super Cloudbuilt to be super frustrating thanks to its design choices and floaty feeling controls..
    Here you’re able to jump, shoot, and dash... thankfully there is an option to customize controls because the default control scheme is just as bad as I am at this game…
    at first I was having a lot of fun with super cloudbuilt..
    You wall run and climb while you avoid mines, lasers and the occasional enemy... all while trying to find your way to the games end... collecting items along your way to unlock lockers at the end of each level for extra lives, find placeable checkpoints that you can use when you feel you just passed a challenging point you don’t want to go through again…
    all of this was fun at first… but it never felt fluent or responsive..
    I felt like I had no real control compared to games like titanfall 2 or mirrors edge catalyst that kind of does a similar thing as super cloudbuilt…
    I felt like the boost ran out too fast... She didn’t get enough distance in her wall running... it just started to feel frustrating to me rather than fast and fluent…
    and this wasn’t helped by the fact you have to also control the camera so you’re not sure where the ledge is you need to jump to next…
    and onto [p of this there’s no real progression indicator from the game..
    You’re just thrown into a level with a bunch of floating platforms and the rest is up to you...
    and this caused the game for me to feel like it lacked polish…
    and the games idea of challenge is to take even more control away from you as it ads sections and walls that don’t let you boost..
    Instead of letting you have your tools and challenging you with obstacles or crazy jumps instead…
    but even then the games floaty feel wouldn’t cause that to work either...
    I could just not like this game because I am bad at it…
    I didn’t have the urge to try again once I lost all of my levels in a level and had to restart from the bottom..
    I just got annoyed and blamed the game for not knowing what to do at the spots I died in
    Super Cloud built is a challenging game, so I can still see the good here for players into this sort of thing…
    but the games feel for me was off, and not one I can recommend
    I give Super Cloudbuilt
    a 5.5/10    … Full Review »

    As far as a parkour platforming game Super Cloudbuilt is at the precipice of what's available in the gaming arena as far as speed goes; and if you fall into the second category of people, I urge you to keep away. You will not enjoy yourself the way the game is meant to be enjoyed; and this game is definitely not for everyone.
    Now in gaming, sometimes I like it to be simple. But when I invest time in something I want to be a completionist - So after over 200 hours in this game I'm still playing - but I'm certainly not the same player I was after the first 10 hours, or 20, or 50, or 100. The game is very well balanced but always offers a challenge. Recommended for anyone who is extremely technical and wants to take the time to figure out the technical details.    … Full Review »

It kind of reminds me of the days when I'd play GunZ: The Duel and do a lot of wall jumping, or games like the modern Sonic games. Although the physics are a little clunky and take a bit of getting used to, at its core, it's a great parkour game, and there aren't many parkour games out there that are nearly as well-made as this one.

    The maps are very unique and there are multiple paths you can take to beat them. The maps get harder and harder each time, making it more and more satisfying to play. The visuals look like they came out of a sketchbook. The story is light but intriguing; you're a girl suffering from amnesia who is trying to figure out what's going on and why you're going through these trials.

    One peeve I had was that some maps were insanely hard (e.g. Desire, Nostalgia, Chains) without power-ups. I can't imagine anyone being able to play those maps on a controller due to the necessity of split-second precision aim and maneuvering. If you want to save yourself many hours of frustration, don't attempt those maps until you have a Focus Trigger or some checkpoint power-ups.

    (On a side note, this game had an issue with my GPU's core clock, where if the core clock wasn't reduced, the game would often crash. This may or may not affect you, but if it does, simply reduce your core clock to fix it.)

    Frankly speaking, my review gravitated between 7 and 9 for quite some time. I ultimately settled on an 8. There are good parts of the game that keep you craving for more, but then there are issues with difficulty that really make you want to flip a table because they weren't planned out well.

    The super secret area, which adds three maps to the main story, can only be unlocked with a very specific means that you'd never think of if you didn't refer to a guide, and even when you do, if you lose the first map, the area gets permanently locked off unless you replay a chunk of the game again. Personally, I reached a point in the first map that I couldn't figure out the solution to, so I had no choice but to give up. This secret area's technically not part of the game since it's a hidden secret, but it's still disappointing that it happened.    … Full Review »
