Like my father before me
Last Man Gaming has announced that their breathtaking simulator,Forklift Extreme, will be making the drop to PC on Jun 26, 2025. Available asForklift 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 didn’t give it away,Forklift Extremeis a physics-based forklift simulator. Using “ultra-realistic physics” 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, “lifelike driver physics for an immersive experience like never before.” Okay!
TheForklift Extreme: Deluxe Editionincludes all the game’s DLC. There’s one where you move furniture and another with giant pumpkins. That’s cool. Pumpkins are cool.
Real talk, though. The press release email opened with the one-person developer saying they’re just a “big fan of physics simulation games.” You know what? I’m a big fan of programmer-driven games. Reviews of the Switch version aren’t bad butaren’t spectacular, but maybe the package is a lot more enticing with all the DLC included. The critics at least seem to agree that it’s exactly what it says on the box.
I was driven to write about this because mydad is a yard foremanat a lumberyard in my hometown. A big part of his job is driving a forklift. I wonder if there’s an option inForklift Extremefor racing wheels, because I’d love to see how he would do in a series of challenges like this.
Forklift Extremeis available on Switch, iOS, and Android.Forklift Extreme: Deluxe Editionis coming to Steam on July 23, 2025.
