Super Cloudbuilt Reviews
Super Cloudbuilt is an action platformer and labor of love for speedrunner fans, yet it lacks the charm of Super Meat Boy or the flair of Vanquish.
When everything comes together Super Cloudbuilt feels effortless; it’s smooth and gorgeous fun. It’s just a shame that those special moments aren’t more common.
Super Cloudbuilt isn’t a bad game, but it’s only decent. When everything is at its best and you’re in the free flow of upper stratosphere parkour, it can be downright thrilling. The pure fun of those moments is frequent enough to save it. When you’re forced to slow down and repeat sections, or even a whole level, it loses that luster and the cracks start to show. Given the budget price, that’s forgivable, but it’s too bad the game doesn’t focus more on what it does so well instead of everything else games in this genre are “supposed” to have.
Super Cloudbuilt is a game for the most hardcore players. The rest will quickly become frustrated due to level of difficulty.

Super CloudBuilt is a solid game providing a decent campaign and many challenges to play if that's your sort of thing.
Super Cloudbuilt is a game I thought I would enjoy playing and ignore the story. The reverse ended up happening. The narrative is interesting and the one thing that kept me playing. The game surrounding it fell flat for me on so many levels. I wanted to love it more than I did, but in the end it never clicked with me.
Super Cloudbuilt has complex platforming mechanics that work well with its grandiose level design. Though the game does not always play nice with controllers, those who take the time to learn Demi's moves will enjoy their search for the perfect run.
Challenging, thrilling, frustrating, fun, repetitive; Super Cloudbuilt encompasses all of these attributes by emerging a fast-paced platformer but preventing itself from making the most of it.
When Super Cloudbuilt clicks, it's platforming at its best. That only comes once you've spent a decent amount of time learning its ways however, because the learning curve towards that nirvana is riddled with plodding, awkward discovery. In the meantime, the dreamlike locales and intriguing story serve as motivation to push through.
At the end of the day, Super Cloudbuilt is a well-designed and challenging game that just needs some minor tweaking to be a major player. The story is just uninteresting and the rewards for completing the levels of the game are lousy. There is definitely enough here – 4 branches of 9 or so levels, plus a hoard of challenges – to keep a parkour person happy... just don't look for a higher meaning.
Super Cloudbuilt's fast paced platforming is the exact kind of thing that will draw in a dedicated speedrunning and leaderboard chasing crowd. For a casual fan who wants a challenge, it can also be a fun platformer, but I just wish it rewrote the nonsensical story and cut out the hub world.
Good looking & fun, Super Cloudbuilt carries the PC experience to PS4 and Xbox One offering a very interesting mixed platforming-parkour style. And it's hard as hell...

Super Cloudbuilt is a game that I was expecting to be fun, but I absolutely didn't expect to enjoy it as much as I have. It's tough as balls and frenetic, fun and full of life. The narrative running throughout is unexpectedly challenging and rewarding and visually, is about as wonderful as cel-shading has ever been.
And that is really Super Cloudbuilt in a nutshell. A fast paced rollercoaster ride that has its ups and downs. The main selling point is that of speed, precision, and style. If you're a fan of quick platformers that have more awe than punch then Super Cloudbuilt is right up your dream-laden alley.
After playing Super Cloudbuilt for many hours with my eyes straining to stay focused on the non-stop parkour action, I can say that I don't mind needing to up my glasses prescription.
Stylish and fascinating 3D-platformer which will make you die and swear a lot because of your own mistakes. But you won't ever feel bored.

Super Cloudbuilt is an enjoyable and fast paced adventure that can be as tough as you let it be. With hours of platforming and seemingly endless challenges to augment the story mode, the game does a surprising job of never feeling stale or overbearing. It's slick and stylish, and it feels really great to play once you get the hang of the mechanics. With very limited downsides, it's definitely a game we plan on returning to whenever we need a high-velocity fix among the clouds.
Super Cloudbuilt‘s frenetic nature means it won't be for everybody – it starts challenging and only gets harder from there – but for those who can keep up with its breakneck pace and conundrum like levels it'll be addictive and utterly mesmerising.
The final word is the game is great, with a lot of content for those that can't get enough, and should be played by any platformer lover, whilst the soundtrack needs to be listed to by absolutely everybody with ears.
Full speed wall running and bombastic action make this very difficult and very attractive platformer an exciting challenge to conquer.
