Alright, here goes, in my own messy way:

So, there’s this game called Carrier Deck from Ultimate Games. It’s kinda like playing traffic controller on an aircraft carrier. You’re supposed to keep those birds soaring and landing like you’re juggling flaming knives. And yeah, it sounds thrilling. Or maybe I’m just easily entertained? Who knows. Anyway, let’s dive into my own chaotic take on this.
You take the role of the Air Officer of the ship. I’m not sure why, but the title makes me imagine someone wearing a cool hat, barking orders while sipping bad coffee. So, imagine doing all this in the heat of battle – fueling, launching, landing jets, and hoping you didn’t forget something crucial. Trust me, it gets hectic. Each place you operate in gets more challenging. Not just a walk in the park. More like a walk in a park with a surprise bear.
Now, the foundation’s there. I think. But then, it gets, uh, overwhelming. The tutorials seem like they’re trying to teach rocket science. Even after surviving them, the tasks are like trying to untangle a mess of Christmas lights that someone tossed in a blender first. I swear, I spent ten minutes in one spot because I didn’t understand what to do. Maybe it’s me. But it probably isn’t.
Picture this: the interface feels like it was made for a computer. And then squished, quite nearly painfully, onto a console. Every move feels like an exhausting marathon with too many steps. Want to chase an enemy plane? Get ready for a ritual of clicks and choices that feels more like preparing a complex dish than playing a game. Just to add more fun, if you misstep, you’re toast.
Visually, it’s kinda plain. You’re on this static deck that seems to say, “Hope you love looking at me, ‘cause I’m all you get!” Even the soundtrack’s doing its best impression of a lounge band. Repetitive yet kinda endearing. A strange combo, but it works — sorta like how chicken and waffles shouldn’t work but totally do.
Trophy collectors, listen up! This game throws you 13 Bronze, 16 Silver, and 4 Gold trophies. Want that Platinum trophy? Well, clear some missions and dump some cargo like there’s no tomorrow. Wear comfy shoes. Not literally, but you get it.
Here’s where the rubber meets the road, or the carrier deck meets the… water? Anyway, this game’s a mixed bag. It’s like having all the ingredients for a great soup, but you forgot the spoon. Packed with potential, but kinda falls flat when you try to actually play. Enthusiasts of the niche will maybe love it. Me? I’m just stuck thinking they could’ve tweaked it a bit better for consoles. It’s available for PlayStation 5 at $11.99, and also for PlayStation 4 — but that’s a separate purchase. Could’ve been smoother, sure. Worth trying? Depends on your love for chaos.
Oh, and in case a disclaimer’s needed — this review was based on a copy from Ultimate Games.

Hope that did the trick!
