Alright, so picture this: a new flying game just dropped on PS5. It’s called Stunt Flyer, from Ultimate Games and Torus Games. Yeah, I know, sounds like something out of a Saturday morning cartoon. But hey, it’s got this whole open-world vibe going on. Kinda intrigued? Let’s dive in.
Alright, where to start… You’ve got three maps: Gloster, Captain’s, and Nimbus. Sounds fancy, right? And for pilots, the names! Jimmy Jetstream, Sophie Stunts — it’s like they used a random name generator. There’s also Sky Captain and some others, each with their own flair or whatever. The game’s all arcade-y, like those games you played at the mall before malls got sad.
So this game kicks off with a tutorial. Yeah, tutorials aren’t thrilling but stick with me here. You’re flying around with the left stick, R1 makes you go zoom, while L1 slows you down unless you’re like me and forget which button is which in a panic. Oh, and let’s not forget the barrel rolls. L2 and R2 have you spinning like a carnival ride. I bet you’ll do them by accident before you nail it on purpose. The whole thing feels like trying to balance on one foot while dodging a frisbee. Fun times, right?
The trophy thing is weird. No Platinum trophy. Why? It’s 2025 for Pete’s sake! You’ve got a couple of Bronze, some Silver, and just three Gold trophies — but no Platinum. I guess you aim for full completion, like collecting coins in these maps and getting gold medals in missions. It’s like a checklist. Speaking of checklists, I should probably make one for myself to keep track of things, but who am I kidding? Organizational skills here are as real as Santa.
Now for the cost. It’s $14.99. Not too bad, but also feels like one of those “impulse buy” prices. Oh, and it’s on PS4 too, if you’re still rocking the old system.
Anyway, there it is. Stunt Flyer. Final thoughts? It’s got potential for some fun, casual flying around. Not groundbreaking, but, you know, a way to pass the time or whatever. Maybe you’ll love it, maybe not. But it’s worth a whirl if arcade-style flying is your thing. Catch you later!
