About
🔸 Super Polished
The game was in Early Access for five months and during that time we made a number of improvements, added functionalities, and a new warehouse and forklifts. All in four big updates (details of which can be found in the events & announcements section).
🔹 Career Mode
Enjoy a career mode that allows you to visit three warehouses and check warehouse yards, and use the money you earn to repair your forklift, buy new forklifts and paint them in your favorite color.
🔸 Arcade Mode
Jump into Arcade Mode and have fun like no one ever! Thanks to the Make a Mess mode, you can spread loads without consequences and act completely opposite to a professional forklift operator.
🔹 Steering wheels, pedals, gamepad
Play as you like: with the steering wheel; a gamepad; with a mouse and keyboard; or by immersing yourself entirely via VR headgear. In addition, in (the beta version), we also support connecting VR with a non-VR controller of your choice!

📌 Best Forklift Operator is a unique game about driving a forklift - a vehicle without which world trade and logistics would stop.

Its insane that this game doesnt have proper input control remapping. The mapping that does exist is extremely limited and does not allow for changing any axis controls, only on/off button inputs and the existing axis controls work very poorly with a steering wheel controller. The in game steering wheel is twice as sensitive as the physical controller and will reach its maximum left/right limits before the physical steering wheel makes even a full rotation. There's no calibration option or anything in-game to fix any issues with input controls
All I can say, and will say, is that this product does not fail to capture the frustration of operating a slow utility vehicle. However, that is as real as this "video game" is going to get. Monotony is one unattractive aspect, but mixing unreliable physics that fling objects (or, in some cases, the vehicle) with pixel-perfect requirements that turn simple tasks into almost Olympian feats makes Best Forklift Operator a dull and (un-)intentionally frustrating experience.

It needs some work. Water Bottle crates get stuck to the lift. Had to mute audio since the lift was stuck making a noise. Thankful it's compatible with the G920. Couldn't map the X56 flight stick to the lift had to use shifter as the controller. Recenter is a bit awkward. More mappable controls please. Would be cool to compete with friends or work together in the same warehouse.
Would be a great little game, if it wasn't bug filled and glitched making it unplayable... Plus there are only counter balance trucks, no other type of forklifts. Was hoping for AT LEAST a Reach Truck as another choice, but that's just me personally.
Absolutely realistic feeling, userfriend, funny, sometimes relaxing game. I have used real forklifts, it's really similar! Steering, accelerating are extremely sensitive and sharp! Much better, than other VR games. I'd happily try more types of forklifts: high reach, Flexi, specialized equipments (barrel grab etc) but it's perfect, congrats! ( I use the steering vheel by hand, but the mast and fork by right joy. Forward/ reverse by A button. I think it's more confortable)
Interesting game. However, I would like it more if steering wheel control were added. The user should be able to assign buttons and axes to the controls. In order to control the forklift's forks, the gear shifter can be used (the user assigns 1st gear to up, 2nd to down, 3rd to lean the forklift mast back, 4th to lean it forward, and neutral should be accepted as a button to call a function to stop all movements. These upgrades would pull in a bigger crowd.
Works perfectly with my Rift S headset, and my HORI steering wheel. I was able to map all the controls to buttons on my wheel, and the gas/brake to my pedals, so I never had to use my VR Touch controllers. It's an absolute joy to just cruise around the lot/warehouse on a forklift and move stuff. The movement is smooth, the controls are simple and intuitive, and it's super-easy to become immersed in. My biggest and only gripe is the lack of variety in levels. Let us work at a big box store, or on a shipping dock somewhere!
ver nice entertaining game. I missed side shift on the forks, to able to store better the cargo, but besides that gg developers
