Good Luck

Good Luck is a game where the journey to the office is more dangerous than entering a cage with tigers, and the laws of physics are our strongest enemies. Someone who has serious stress issues can forget about psychiatrists and meetings; they will train their nerves in this video game. Jokes aside, this video game was released in April 2026 and is truly not for the faint of heart. The developers are Happybara Games (Street Chef Simulator) and the publishers are Ultimate Games S.A. and Play Way S.A. If you haven't heard of the term rage-game, it literally means – a game that provokes rage. And this video game could be a frontrunner in that genre.

In the Good Luck video game, we are an ordinary businessman with a briefcase who is late for an important meeting. And we have a very simple task – to get to work, where we are already late for the meeting. Right from the start, it's a refreshing change to go from superheroes, monsters, and wizards to the role of an ordinary man. However, that man is not waiting for anything ordinary. We must navigate the streets and reach our destination. Sounds simple, right?

What's the catch? The thing is that the city has come to life, and its only goal is to kill us – the businessman who is late for a meeting. Every step is a potential death. Poles are collapsing, fences are falling, holes are appearing, a large neon sign can crush us, trash cans are exploding... The gameplay in this game is a type of third-person platformer, with an environment full of traps. Moving the character and maintaining balance is very realistic, and precise jumping is an eternal struggle. Threats come from all sides, and the rule No mercy applies – no mercy. And that is literal, as there are no checkpoints; every death sends us back to the beginning of the level. And there will be deaths, many, many times.

The graphics are in a cartoon style. Simple yet appealing. The style is clean and minimalist. Dominant colors are black, red, and orange, giving it a certain, special style. For a type of "walking" simulator, there are quite a few details and interesting elements in the environment. The city is well constructed.

Although the solo experience is a true test of nerves, "Good Luck" shines in its online co-op mode, which supports up to five players. In that multiplayer, the game transforms from a lonely struggle for survival into chaotic fun. It then becomes a "social rage game" where fingers are pointed at the player who sent the whole group back to the start due to one trivial mistake. It is this social element that makes this video game popular among streamers and content creators looking for material for entertaining compilations.

Good Luck is currently available only on Steam, where it holds a relatively positive rating (70 percent positive reviews). The community is, of course, divided between those who love the hardcore challenge and those who feel the mechanics are unnecessarily punishing.

Good Luck is a digital test of nerves. It’s not for everyone. If you lose your temper too easily, this game will likely end with a smashed mouse and a broken keyboard. However, if you enjoy high-risk games and have a group of like-minded friends willing to suffer with you, this is a solid and polished title in the chaos of the laws of physics genre. We haven't played multiplayer, but even single-player brought us both a dose of fun and a dose of suffering, so we can deliver a final verdict. Although it's not for everyone, this video game has entertaining moments and will have its buyers.
