    I love that games like Fluster Cluck are leading the charge of local, social, multiplayer, and I hope it continues indefinitely. Being able to experience actual living room mayhem again as you did back in the day when friends would come over for epic SNES and N64 sessions is still a blast 15 years later.

    Consider it only if you've got a captive audience, no internet connection, and some time to kill with friends — and, above all else, don't expect too much.

    There are a few cute things in here, but overall it's more of Cluster F.ck than a Fluster Cluck... if that makes sense.

    Fluster Cluck is a game devoid of ambition. It looks, feels and sounds like a mobile game, and the loose mechanics aren’t helped by a premise that goes stale inside of half an hour.

    There is absolutely no reason to grab this one, especially at its rather high price point.

    Fluster Cluck seemed like it might be fun and have potential as a party game, but I would honestly be more embarrassed to load this up and try to convince people to play it.

    Not counting massively multiplayer delivery quests, my top benchmark for delivery-style games is still Choplifter. Fluster Cluck can be found at the opposite end of that spectrum.

    If I was to walk up to someone and ask “Have you played Fluster Cluck?” I’d probably get the strange eye, which pretty much sums up my thoughts on the game as a whole.

    I cannot recommend Fluster Cluck except as maybe a child's first couch co-op experience. If your 8 to 12-year-old is having a three-person sleep over and has no other PS4 games, then perhaps. Beyond that, give Fuster Cluck a hard pass.

    It’s probably the worst game I’ve ever played. It’s fails in so many departments, and like In Space We Brawl, pales in comparison to other local multiplayer games currently out on the PlayStation 4.

    I have no idea what the "official reviewers" are talking about. This game is so much fun! Old-school action to play with my friends. Sure,I have no idea what the "official reviewers" are talking about. This game is so much fun! Old-school action to play with my friends. Sure, compare the game to a $60+ title and it probably doesn't match up, but it is tons of fun for $9 (with my Playstation Plus). Game reviews have gotten too hipster/indie or too mainstream, and there is apparently no room left for fun. I'm not really into GamerGate or whatever, but I can agree with them that games journalism today is the pits.

    Watch any live stream of this game and see how much fun the people are having with it. To me, it's a breath of fresh air and reminds me of my N64, and all the fun I used to have with my buddies playing Mario Kart or Goldeneye all weekend. 100% must-buy if you're looking to have FUN with your friends. You probably won't like it if you're an artsy hipster or too much of a bro gamer. But maybe you will! Give it a shot.
