Review of Carrier Deck for PlayStation 5

Alright, let’s dive into this headfirst. Carrier Deck’s this game about running an aircraft carrier, kind of like juggling flaming swords while riding a unicycle — wild, right? So, yeah, it’s on you to handle planes doing their thing around the world, and it’s like, bam, here’s our review!

Honestly, being the Air Officer on a CVN-76? Sounds epic, like you’re in the middle of a movie, except it’s all about time management — which, by the way, is way more hectic than it sounds. Planes flying in and out, and you’re like, “Get in line, guys!” But, you know, it’s kind of overwhelming. Tutorials are like deciphering ancient texts — leaves you scratching your head, lost at sea. Spent ages stuck on one part because, well, instructions were a joke. Maybe I’m just slow, or the game’s playing tricks.

The switch over to PlayStation 5? Oh boy, feels like it wasn’t ready yet. Every action’s a mini-project — more steps than a staircase, and you’re thinking, “Really? Isn’t there an easier way?” Like, catching enemy planes? It’s a hassle. Click there, choose this, dive into menus — all while you’re screaming at the screen, “Whyyyyy?”

Visually, the game’s kind of plain — nothing fancy. Feels like you’re stuck looking at the same scene forever. And, oh, using a mouse-pointer interface on a console? That’s trying to play a guitar with oven mitts on — clumsy and awkward. The music fits alright — kind of like that band at the local bar playing in the background. Keeps you company while you’re trying not to lose your mind.

Now, trophy hunters, there’s a checklist waiting for you. Loads of missions to beat, stars to snag — go on, fill those shelves with trophies. You’ll get there if you can keep from banging your head against the wall.

Carrier Deck could’ve been great — it had potential, really. But with murky instructions and complicated controls, it’s like liking the idea of pizza but ending up eating cardboard. Maybe if they fix the console version, it won’t feel like you’re wrestling with the controller. It’s $11.99 by the way, on both PlayStation 4 and 5. Maybe you give it a go? Or maybe not. Up to you, friend.

So, here’s the disclaimer — got this review copy from Ultimate Games. No funny business. Just my thoughts.
