If you’ve ever looked at a massive crawler transporter or a towering bucket wheel excavator and thought, "I want to drive that," then was built specifically for you.

What sets Giant Machines 2017 apart from a standard driving sim is the campaign. Instead of just sandbox play, the game takes you through 14 missions set in diverse locations like Greenland, Canada, and Florida.
