good forklift simulator for learning the basics, good controls with controller and good bit of challenges. but has a lot of weak sides too. you always have an objective, either going to a destination or moving pieces, you have to watch out for workers and watch the forklift constantly for speeding and unsafe handling is a bad, noted at the end, but not prohibited, and thats where it ends really. there are no other modes or challenges, no sandbox for example, the only vehicle other than the forklift is a reach truck, your medals dont show up and the menu itself is just servable and nothing more. so to end this review, i recommend it cus it does the job for a forklift sim and im happy with it but a little bit of sad of what it could be.

Utterly wonderful. More sims like this please.
This was great fun. I left it before finishing though as it became quite repetitive.

I do not recommend this game. Main reason is because it lacks key-binds and controller support heavily. Second of all as an Norwegian certified T4 forklift driver. certain requirements in the game lessons are not correct, like for example having the park brake engaged when raising and lowering the forks during the transport of a got dam empty pallet

Alright, so I have not had the game that long at first it's hard but is get's better. But like I feel like the sit down forklift should have less training modes like the other forklifts and have a sandbox mode or just simply work in warehouse. Most of this I would like to see for the sit down forklift but the game is really fun. You just get to take the pallets and drive around. But I really like the VR. I feel like it's easier and way better in VR. I am still playing the game to make a final statement about it, but if you have a VR headset I really recommend. If you don't I still recommend because you get to stuff that you would do as a Forklift operator. Any way I love the game.

Okay hear me out. I bought this just because I was that bored. Planned to refund immediately. But let me tell you a story about the man who bought like 10+ games and ended up only playing this one, for hours. I don't even like forklifts, and the game is exactly what it sounds like: Forklifts lifting palletes from here over to there a few feet away. But I just couldn't stop. I'm actually amazed, this is going to be one of my most played games when all is said and done as odd as that sounds, I guarantee it. Great job on this sneek hit devs.
ALSO IMPORTANT TO NOTE: Vive motion controllers work just fine, for some reason it's not listed as such on steam so I originally looked this over.

Looked into several warehouse/forklift simulators and this seemed the best option, not because it is a great option but the others are so bad. The forklift driving in this game is good and the challenges you get are pretty fun.
PROS
- driving is well done, good physics
- several forklift types to drive
- graphics are nice
- controller support
CONS
- dev had great plans for the game but has put development on hold and maybe even has completly abandoned the sim which is a massive shame this game and his ideas had great potential
- no career mode (was planned I believe)
- not enough content for a full price purchase
not enough depth for a recommended review, hopefully they come back and finish the game 5/10

Recommandation based on VR mode, Valve Index + Logitech G920 steering wheel.
Long story short:
If you have a VR headset and are thinking of getting a forklift permit, this "game" is a good supplement.
If you are on desktop, or, expecting a proper game, I dont recommend it.
I would not recommend it unless you have at least a VR headset, since you constantly need to look around the forklift to assess distances. Steering wheel is not absolutely nessesary, but if you want to practice for a permit, a steering wheel will give you that cognitive muscle memory that translates to the real world.
The G920 wheel and pedals worked as intended out of the box, but there is no configuration menu for tweaking the default settings.
The Index controllers works fine, I just remapped grip/trigger buttons for personal preference.
Game performance is very good since the graphics are simple.
The game itself is a bit unpolished and not a whole lot of content, so the 20€ pricetag is a bit steep, but its the only option out there for practicing actual forklift operation in VR.
Dont expect it to go on sale, I waited over 6 months and eventually just payed the full 20€.

The game has been abandoned by the devs so buy at your own risk. This is why I won't buy an early access game again. The game doesn't have wheel support, unless it's in VR mode. I tried many options but to no avail. So I got a refund. I don't want to play this on keyboard. i paid good money for my g29 not to use it.
