    You suck at Parking is a fun little game made by Happy Volcano. It's an arcade-style parking game that gets crazier and harder the further you advance through the 101 levels the game has to offer.
    The game is a unique, enjoyable experience and it really captivates you from the moment you boot the game up.

    I have some hours in the game and will review the game based on my experience.

    Gameplay: I absolutely LOVE the gameplay. It's so simple, yet it can be so challenging. The way the game feels is really well done and I would say that they nailed the whole gameplay side.
    All the game mechanics, like police cars chasing you or fireball cannons blasting fireballs, are fun additions to the game in their own right.

    Campaign: The single-player levels go from easy to difficult, to more difficult to nearly impossible. I really enjoyed the first 75% of the games offline mode but fell out of love due to the difficulty of the last part of the game. The levels get so stacked that it sort of irked me. There are points where 5 police cars are chasing you through narrow pathways where one mistake means BUSTED. I would recommend that you don't try to perfect all levels on your first playthrough and just focus on finishing all levels. This helped me tremendously.

    Online play: The game has a really fun online mode where you battle to park ASAP against (I believe) a maximum of 7 other players. The matchmaking was relatively quick for me, and the games felt smooth. My only gripe was the level of sweatiness of the online base. I was still relatively fresh as I was facing people with 100+ hours in the game almost every game. As I got better at the game, the games did get easier, though. So sticking with it and working on getting better is important for longevity.
    Once HV adds a system where you can play online with friends I believe this is really something you can keep revisiting from time to time to have a laugh online.
    EDIT: They've added a co-op multiplayer/party system to the game. Tried it yesterday and it worked like a charm. Increasing the rating I gave from a 3.0 to 3.5

    Achievements: This is where my complaints are. I am convinced HV hates completionists. The achievements are WAY too hard and half of them are based on online play, which means you need a certain level of luck to even get them. An achievement for completing their Parking Pass, which takes over 100 games of online play, besides completing the entire game and perfecting every level, just takes way too long.

    EDIT 2: On 01/12/2022 HV added their new DLC: Inferno.

    My initial feeling was very positive. I like the new mechanics they have added for this DLC and the overall looks/feel of the game. About 3/4ths through my playthrough of the campaign maps the heavy breathing, angry groaning, and screaming at my indoor cat started. All the feelings of despair became much worse upon reaching the final level though. "Randomness" is what I would use to describe this one level. I was stuck for around 3 hours before I finally managed to beat it. Being taken down by random events, some of which I still only saw once.
    The release I felt after beating the level almost made me appreciative, but I have to be consistent, so: I would recommend this to everyone that doesn't mind a healthy, rage-inducing grind for the last achievements. If you have GPU definitely give it a play, just be weary of the aforementioned last level.


    All in all, this is a good game. I enjoyed it and I believe you will too.

    This game is a gem. The developers have created a whole universe to satisfy us. It is revolutionary for its time since it is in 16K 240fps.

    The soundtrack is grandiose, worthy of the greatest. Berlioz and Chopin are rolling over in their graves.

    The gameplay is to die for. Not even Mario Galaxy comes close to it.

    $10 for 16 minutes, a long-term investment because the memories will be unforgettable.

    Spend time with his wife and children, why? Y
    Suck parking is your face will fill us with happiness with its aura that pierces the screen.
    I quit my job to play it.

    How do they know?

    You Suck at Parking is an arcadey little game where you have to drive a car, park it in specific locations, and then do the same for each parking spot on a level. It’s a simple concept that rapidly gets more complicated, especially if you are aiming to earn Gold where you don’t make a mistake on each level. Single-player is good, but multiplayer is going to be where you’ll want to spend time.

    However you can’t partner with friends yet, but that is coming at least. The biggest problem is for a budget title like this, why are there so many microtransactions already, there are a ton of customizations to buy, a battle pass, and even a season pass, it’s too much for any 20-dollar game. It’s a shame because the base game is good, but the microtransactions leave a bad taste in my mouth.

    Pick this up if you like the idea of the game. The single-player game is pretty solid, but this is the problem. It has a good single-player, or multiplayer, but the rush to microtransactions here really taints the ideas, and the battle pass popping up after almost every match to show you what you would win if you bought it is gross. Say no to Battlepasses.
