Like my father before me
Last Man Gaming has announced that their breathtaking simulator, Forklift Extreme, will be making the drop to PC on March 16, 2023. Available as Forklift Extreme: Deluxe Edition, this is the first time the title has become available on a platform aside from the Switch and mobile.
If the name didnāt give it away, Forklift Extreme is a physics-based forklift simulator. Using āultra-realistic physicsā to bring this favored pastime to life, you can finally live out your dreams as a person who moves things with a vehicle. Or, as the press release puts it, ālifelike driver physics for an immersive experience like never before.ā Okay!

The Forklift Extreme: Deluxe Edition includes all the gameās DLC. Thereās one where you move furniture and another with giant pumpkins. Thatās cool. Pumpkins are cool.
Real talk, though. The press release email opened with the one-person developer saying theyāre just a ābig fan of physics simulation games.ā You know what? Iām a big fan of programmer-driven games. Reviews of the Switch version arenāt bad but arenāt spectacular, but maybe the package is a lot more enticing with all the DLC included. The critics at least seem to agree that itās exactly what it says on the box.
I was driven to write about this because my dad is a yard foreman at a lumberyard in my hometown. A big part of his job is driving a forklift. I wonder if thereās an option in Forklift Extreme for racing wheels, because Iād love to see how he would do in a series of challenges like this.
Forklift Extreme is available on Switch, iOS, and Android. Forklift Extreme: Deluxe Edition is coming to Steam on March 16, 2023.
