When I had to get my driving license a few years ago I realized how easy it is to fail a test and how the majority of people who took the exam failed for the same reason: park properly without hitting another vehicle or colliding with anything. Even after so many years, this maneuver is still my least favorite of all when I have to get behind the wheel.
In addition, you must ensure that it is well positioned in the parking space, prevent it from disturbing other cars, ensure that it does not rub against any pillar, etc. Well, there is a video game with which you will have to do your best to demonstrate your skill to park perfectly, as is the case of You Suck at Parkingone of those indies that is undoubtedly one of the hidden gems in the Xbox Game Pass catalog.
Subscribing to the Microsoft service will allow you to download and play this title on Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S and PC, whose gameplay is by far its strong point due to its so minimalist touch. In it the objective is very simple and it does not take you a minute to understand it as soon as you get to work in the tutorial. Basically, you have to move a miniature car through a scenario in which a series of parking spaces are marked.
Therefore, you have to move the car to them and that’s it. However, it is not as easy as it may seem, because in reality behind all this there is a title hidden. brutally challenging for how hard it is to move the car properly. As soon as you step on the accelerator it shoots at full speed and with the stick you turn it from one side to the other until it reaches the “P” without going too far.
To do this, you can choose to brake when you are close or release the accelerator little by little. The truth is that it is no longer a mystery, because on paper it is all very easy to understand, but put into practice is when the chaos begins, since it is extremely easy for the car to go anywhere other than where you want, You start to collide with everything and even fall off cliffs. There are some levels where I have lost count of the number of vehicles I have lost or become phosphatine.
Luckily, the pace is too fast and as soon as you fail you are already driving a new car so the fun doesn’t stop for a second. Furthermore, there are infinite attempts, but The problem is in the timer of each phase, since you have to fill all the parking spaces on the stage before the score reaches zero. Of course, you may be thinking that it might be enough to move the car back and forth until it is positioned properly.
However, what makes the matter so complicated is because there is no reverse. You can only go forward constantly, so if you hit a wall you have to quickly grab a new car. As if that were not enough, gasoline is rather scarce and the vehicle cannot be stopped at any time, because if the game considers that it has braked, it will be the next car’s turn. And whenever a new attempt is started, it is done from the starting line.
The first phases are relatively easy, but it doesn’t take long for the situation to become even more chaotic due to the amount of traps there are everywhere in the form of explosive barriers, fans, giant magnets, mines and many other obstacles. Despite everything, at no point have I ever despaired, because the visuals have such a nice artistic level and the rhythm is so good that the only thing it causes is that you itch to constantly try to obtain the best score. This is because each level has its own global leaderboards.
Depending on the time it takes to fill all the places, as well as achieving it with or without errors, the amount of points obtained will vary. What’s more, getting it right the first time is also essential because the campaign is made up of hundreds of phases, each one more difficult than the last, and the new worlds and areas will require the best possible scores to unlock even more places.
With nonsense, it’s a game that easily can keep you hooked for hours in which entertainment is guaranteed. What is a shame is that today the only thing that can be accessed is its campaign, because it is easier to find a needle in a haystack than someone who wants to join its exclusively online multiplayer, which is essential to get new skins for the cars, in case you want to modify their appearance with hats, colors, symbols and much more.
Therefore, if you are looking for something to spend a very fun afternoon with, with extremely short games and with which you will always spend some time entertaining as well as challengingyou would do well to give it a try You Suck at Parking. But don’t forget that, if you’re bad at parking in real life like me, maybe this game won’t make you feel better at all in that sense, although mastering this maneuver isn’t going to save your money either. . Of course, there is no denying that this gem lives up to its name.
