I love that games like Fluster Cluck are leading the charge of local, social, multiplayer, and I hope it continues indefinitely. Being able to experience actual living room mayhem again as you did back in the day when friends would come over for epic SNES and N64 sessions is still a blast 15 years later.
I have no idea what the "official reviewers" are talking about. This game is so much fun! Old-school action to play with my friends. Sure, compare the game to a $60+ title and it probably doesn't match up, but it is tons of fun for $9 (with my Playstation Plus). Game reviews have gotten too hipster/indie or too mainstream, and there is apparently no room left for fun. I'm not really into GamerGate or whatever, but I can agree with them that games journalism today is the pits.
Watch any live stream of this game and see how much fun the people are having with it. To me, it's a breath of fresh air and reminds me of my N64, and all the fun I used to have with my buddies playing Mario Kart or Goldeneye all weekend. 100% must-buy if you're looking to have FUN with your friends. You probably won't like it if you're an artsy hipster or too much of a bro gamer. But maybe you will! Give it a shot.

Really fun game to play with friends. The concept is funny ad quirky, and the gameplay is well executed. I love the sound the little chickens make when they come out of the chikkinizier! Hilarious little indie gem.
Fluster Cluck is a game devoid of ambition. It looks, feels and sounds like a mobile game, and the loose mechanics aren’t helped by a premise that goes stale inside of half an hour.
Fluster Cluck seemed like it might be fun and have potential as a party game, but I would honestly be more embarrassed to load this up and try to convince people to play it.
Not counting massively multiplayer delivery quests, my top benchmark for delivery-style games is still Choplifter. Fluster Cluck can be found at the opposite end of that spectrum.
I cannot recommend Fluster Cluck except as maybe a child's first couch co-op experience. If your 8 to 12-year-old is having a three-person sleep over and has no other PS4 games, then perhaps. Beyond that, give Fuster Cluck a hard pass.
It’s probably the worst game I’ve ever played. It’s fails in so many departments, and like In Space We Brawl, pales in comparison to other local multiplayer games currently out on the PlayStation 4.
rough around the edges (the camera is can be terrible) but is good quick fun with friends, although the game does not give out trophies to the other players in career mode.
It's lots of fun with 1-3 friends but not much alone. It can be a bit confusing because a lot of stuff on screen. Good price with PlayStation Plus ($9).
For under $10, this game delivers many hours of fun with friends. Cheaper than a trip to the movies and worth a few replays with your buds. Some technical issues but fun.
I'm rating this higher than the critics and higher than the average user. Solid 5.
I don't even know what to say about this **** is just average in every possible way that I could describe it.Fluster Cluck can be funny but also just extremely poor executed at some parts
As the Smash Bros. series has proven time and time again, unpredictably and chaos can yield addictive results, provided there's great game design behind them. Admittedly, repeat playthroughs and thoughtful study of each map in Fluster Cluck allowed me to wade through the disorder, making me a better player. Yet that road to enlightenment was paved with boredom and frustration, which left me emotionally spent by the time I cleared the final map.
SummaryFluster Cluck is a cartoony, pick-up-and-play twin-stick shooter with resource gathering elements. It has no blood, no gore, no grizzled mercenaries, no princesses who need to be saved, no softcore anime cutscenes, no dialogue trees, and no moral dilemmas. It just has chikkin. Lots and lots of chikkin. [Playstation.com]
