When gamers hop into an arcade game it tends to often feel as if the game is simple and brainless. The truth is many of these games are nuanced and require a bit of practice if someone wants to excel and not simply progress. The game hinges on players utilizing their gas tanks to navigate levels and land in the marked parking spots.

Understanding how acceleration affects the car's momentum, and also how quickly players can maneuver the direction and position of the car, can really help them understand the game on a deeper level. Creativity in partnership with the previously discussed understanding is often the difference between success and failure.

At first, You Suck at Parking presents itself as a unique twist on classic arcade driving games. The focus is on controlling both the speed and gas levels of the car as one tries to perfectly park it without crashing or running out of fuel before reaching it. The game also has plenty of additional mechanics the player needs to get familiar with that increase the difficulty of levels.

Some include fans that blow cars in certain directions, there are jump pads that shoot cars into the air, and there are even teleporters that manipulate time and space in order to warp players to other areas entirely.

4 Focus On You, Not Others

Far too often humans get caught up in comparing themselves to others. It's often seen as the thief of joy. The reality is that if one spends all their time worrying about what their opponents are doing in You Suck at Parking, they'll have a harder time coming out on top. It's human nature to peek at the scoreboard, but by concentrating on where the parking spots are and tackling them one by one, it's surprising how often it will lead to success.

Now, focusing on one's self doesn't mean glancing to see someone discover how to land a parking spot should be avoided, but it's more about understanding that one's own actions should always supersede worrying about the competition.

3 Embrace The Chaos

The act of driving a vehicle relies a lot on the human behind the wheel maintaining a level head. Millions of people drive vehicles every day and it works because people have simply agreed to trust one another when it comes to putting the safety of the collective in front of one's own personal desires. This isn't something that should be maintained in You Suck at Parking. In You Suck at Parking, the chaos of the moment needs to be embraced.

This means that in the online mode players need to look out for themselves and do what is in the best interest of coming out on top. The scoring is based on who parks in the most spots the quickest, so throw caution to the wind and become the agent of chaos that intrusive thoughts make people believe they are capable of portraying.

2 Use The Campaign As Practice

In the world of gaming, there are people who enjoy single-player and campaign modes, and there are those who simply play games to compete in multiplayer spaces. You Suck at Parking offers both, but it's the Campaign mode where players can see the most growth in their skills and understanding of the game. Throughout the course of the mode, players are introduced to the mechanics, pitfalls, and hazards that the game throws out in order to increase difficulty and challenge.

By experiencing them in this way, players can enter the online mode and have a leg up in terms of understanding how to navigate all of the things standing between them and being the unquestioned champion of high-level car parking.

1 Use Your Gas

A big learning curve in You Suck at Parking is coming to the realization that taking one's time is actually worse for the player. The gas tank runs out rather quickly, regardless of the speed of the vehicle, so going as fast as possible while still maintaining accuracy and control is the optimal playstyle.

Speed is a huge part of the game as each level is also timed, meaning that it's equally important that one parks correctly, but also manages to do it in a timely manner. Treating the gas tank as a valuable resource is something that's ingrained in gamers, but You Suck at Parking forces people to go against their best judgments if they plan to prevail.

You Suck At Parking is available on Nintendo Switch, PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, Xbox Game Pass, and PC.
