    Giant Machines 2017 enables you to control seven of the biggest industrial machines ever created on Earth. They will introduce you into the world of hissing hydraulic systems, excavator buckets and the smell of diesel.

    Unlike contemporary simulators, the 14 main missions are all part of one story. The goal is to send a space shuttle to the International Space Station.

    Your campaign takes place in 6 different geographical localizations: Greenland, Canada, Wyoming, Missouri and Florida. Thanks to a detailed depiction of the machines, you will be able to appreciate the magnitude of those beasts (compared to a human, a car and buildings placed on the map). You can also explore the machine in first person perspective; the wide view from the cockpit will immerse you in the world of really heavy machinery.

    The concept is great, the machine execution is great, and the music…is terrible (sorry, couldn’t resist another dig at that blasted radio). The game has the bones of a good game, but it falls quite short in polishing and quality-of-life. It really seems like the storyline was halfway through, the mechanics/physics were 75% there, the machine animation was completely finished, and they decided to go ahead and publish. Would I play it again? Probably not. Would I give an updated version or possible sequel a chance? Yes.
