“I enjoy that game quite a lot for its fluid and momentum-based gameplay.”
“The gameplay is some of the best you'll find on PC and leaves a lot of room for developing the skills needed to get those S-ranks.”
“The moment-to-moment gameplay in Cloudbuilt is simply exhilarating, jumping and dashing through the variety of terrain.”
“But unfortunately, the gameplay isn't free from flaws either.”
“The mechanics of this game ruin all the fun; some levels are super easy while others are very difficult to pass, or even impossible.”
“The story isn't compelling, the gameplay isn't anything special, there doesn't appear to be anything that's new or that changes as you progress, and the fact that you have a set number of lives per level is just bad design, in my opinion.”

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

First-person games are often dominated by a theme of shooting, but Cloudbuilt is one of the few games to place a low emphasis on combat. The game would work perfectly well without any confrontation and it is possible to complete the majority of it as a pacifist. Cloudbuilt's strengths lie in its amazing platforming elements, which are in abundance throughout the game. Whether it is running along walls, boost jumping between platforms or scaling high walls, the game creates a rush of adrenaline that makes it one of the most enjoyable experiences available.
