    SnowRunner is an amazing sandbox full of engaging toys, and is still an amazingly good low-paced, low-stress way to destroy an afternoon. [Roadshow]
  2. Particularly nifty is the ability to port your trucks back and forth between maps. If you lose one in a snow drift and can’t yet afford a bigger vehicle to dredge it out, it’s feasible to head back to Michigan and raise the funds in safer environs. That’s the other children’s story SnowRunner resembles: The Old Lady Who Swallowed A Fly. No matter the size of your stuck truck, you can nearly always send in something heavier. It’s the simplicity of principles like these that makes the ‘Runner games remarkably accessible, even as they grow in complexity and ambition.

    The game is great. Graphics are way better than I expected on PC. It really looks like a AAA game, no over-exaggeration in here. The physicsThe game is great. Graphics are way better than I expected on PC. It really looks like a AAA game, no over-exaggeration in here. The physics are some of the best I saw in a game, probably the best for a racing game on the market right now. It's so fun to drive in such harsh conditions, in mud and snow, it's pretty challenging even without a hard mode that some people requested. There is a lot of content, you will have many many tens of hours to spend in this game. Interiors are looking nice, very good and detailed design. There are multiple upgrades that you can put on your truck, upgrades that affect a lot the gameplay and the way your truck acts in the wild. I would recommend this to everyone who like games like Euro Truck Simulator, but offroad. The map is very big and there will still be some new maps coming in the next months. I'm playing with a gamepad, the controls are not hard to get used to and are pretty well done.

    For the guy that gave a 0 because of wheels support: they said they delayed testing of wheels because of COVID-19 and work for home so that's why it does not fully support wheels (some are working) and doesn't have force feedback on them at the moment. They said they will update/fix this as soon as possible.

    For the guy with Epic Games: no comment. This has nothing to do with the game, just grow up and accept that there can be multiple launchers on the market. The launcher doesn't affect in any way your experience with the game.

    My only bit of critique is that the beginning tutorial is a bit loose and pedantic but each to their own.
    In general, this is a fantastic game if you enjoyed Mudrunner. Or if you never played Mudrunner then you'll enjoy this if you want a game with a challenge that is slow-paced and methodical.

    No support for wheels, no support for force feedback. It's really bad as for 2020 game.
