Review: Lumberhill (Steam) - Defunct Games

Defunct Games reviews Lumberhill, available now on PC and coming soon to Switch.
Lumberhill gets points for originality. Who knew that competitive logging could be this much fun? As a multiplayer game, this debut release from 2BIGO Studio is a blast. There's a level of controlled chaos here that you don't see in a lot of other games, and I love the cartoony look and nonstop back-and-forth. Unfortunately, the shallow gameplay and too-similar missions make the campaign mode feel more repetitive than it should, and the whole thing is over just as it's starting to heat up. Lumberhill is recommended for fans of quirky multiplayer games, but everybody else may want to think twice before cutting down that tree.

Cyril !! I'm still upset that this daam YT algorithm doesn't spread your channel !! your EGM vids alone should be on a damn billion views , sorry , just venting !!

QotD: A game set / inspired by my home town has a few options: a political corruption simulator, a mardi gras parade walking simulator, a petrochemical factory builder, or an alligator hunting game. I'd personally like to see the political corruption simulator with some heavy satire and a nice comic style. Maybe I'll make it some day :)

He's a lumberjack and he's okay!

I cut down trees, I wear high heels, oh wait, that's the Monty Python version. 😉 But seriously, sounds like one may look into if they have a good sale on it. As for the question, since I pretty much live out in the middle of no where, could just take your pick of any isolation game, and probably fit close enough.

Logging town pacific nw, somewhere like Aberdeen? Bless yer ❤ that must've truly sucked. My hometown of savannah ga (now dont get me wrong i wouldnt move back there if ya gave me a free house..the daily homocides & crime have gotten too bad there) but similar- and adjacent to- charleston sc, it's tourist/historical, full of all sorts of legends & hoodoo.. while rich in history & architecture, also rife w/ ghost tours, voodoo witches, river rats, beach bums, irish drunkards, cemetery shenanigans, pirate lore, & if all that werent enough- lets not forget about the below-ground slave tunnels, the cemetery bells, disappearing grand oak trees, and grandiose old-money families who can literally move a mansion covering an entire city block, and relocate it elsewherever they choose, it's been known to rain wine🍷OH and lets not forget that it's a major east coast shipping port as well- so yeh all the pirate lore & festivals.. i guess there ya have your game levels i suppose it'd be an adventure game of some sort

You nailed it. I grew up in Aberdeen, WA. Even when to the same high school as Kurt Cobain. I'm from the muddy banks of the Wishkah.

[@shleyless]

Youre kidding right?! C'mon now- a lot of WA must be rife w/ logging towns? Aberdeen can't be... ::scratches head:: I only said that cuz I was in a deep cuts Nirvana tribute band, LoL; I'm a fan of a lot of bands in that PNWest movement but still.. wow thats cool. Thanks for the exposé on Lumberhill, looked like fun; I snagged it and will check it out soon. Will check out some of your other vids... Well.. now I guess! Cheers

Lumber but you're in a place with pandas and no bamboo? QOTD, Well San Antonio so probably an RTS involving the Alamo and South Texas battles. A more modern one would be a taco truck simulator.
