[Rewrite] Review of “Carrier Deck” on PlayStation 5

Sure thing, let’s dive in.

—

So, there’s this game called Carrier Deck that I stumbled on, courtesy of Ultimate Games. It’s one of those aircraft carrier management sims. You’re thrown into the wild world of air operations. Sounds cool, right? Well, in theory. Anyway — no, wait — let’s start from the top. You’re the big boss on a CVN-76, smack dab in some warzone. You’re juggling tasks like you’re in an air traffic circus. Talk about a wild ride.

Here’s what happens: you work your way through different global spots, kinda like hopping between war hotspots. And every new place throws a curveball at you, mixing up the objectives. Now, the game’s got this nerve-wracking pace — it’s like, “Bam, bam, thank you, ma’am,” but with fighter jets. Learning what to do, though? Not so straightforward. Tutorials practically speak a foreign language, leaving you feeling like you missed the memo. Spent over ten minutes just scratching my head because the tutorial dropped the ball on instructions.

Oh, there’s this thing when you play on PS5. It kinda feels like trying to fit a square peg into a round hole. The setup is clunky. You’re supposed to do these ninja-like maneuvers with sequences that seem to go, “Do this, then that — no, wait — now this,” and it’s just… ugh. Just clicking an enemy plane involves more steps than dealing with tech support. Miss a beat, and you’re toast. Suppose you like that kind of precision? Different strokes, I guess.

Visually… meh. I mean, every mission sits on this static aircraft carrier canvas. Not much to see, really. As for the UI? It’s like trying to type a text on an old flip phone using dial-up. But hey, thumbs-up for the music. It’s got that whole dive bar band vibe — y’know, helps to mellow the whole chaos down a notch.

Got this trophy thing going on too. If you’re a trophy junkie, there’s a full spread here — a bunch of bronze, silver, gold, and all that jazz. Keep your head in the game, and you might snag that shiny Platinum. Quick tip: move a lotta cargo or something, seemed to work for me.

Now, let’s face it. Carrier Deck had its bright ideas but tripped over its own feet. Goals are foggy, and all those game inputs feel like pedaling a bike uphill with square wheels. If you’re an aircraft buff, maybe this is your jam. For the rest of us mere mortals? It walks the line between a grind and a puzzle that doesn’t fit.

Price-wise, it’s $11.99 on the PS5 — and if you’re old-school, there’s a PS4 version too. Anyway, that’s the spiel. Good luck if you dive in. I’m off to find something less mind-boggling now.

Cheers!
