    Game is really nice unless you face a thousand bugs, unplayable tasks and you can't even play from the same IP and all of these features are in 2020, unbelievable!
    Other then that, the game actually is nice. Please fix bugs all these issues and it will be for sure 10/10.

    The main gameplay loop is generally fun, I have issues with many bugs though.

I can't finish a mission if the required resource has been manually loaded into the truck. other issues include general clipping of objects, things shifting... wrong or enabling features that are not possible. would be a 9 if these issues were fixed.

    UPDATE: after the update in the game, I had to reinstall mods and none of the bugs that I have seen have been fixed I FOUND MORE in the recent version. I dragged out the cat on the 2nd Alaska map to the sawmill (like instructed) and FOR **** SAKE!!! IT DID NOT DRIVE AT ALL even though it is not broken NOR OUT OF GAS when I got to the sawmill NOTHING! same with a trailer on the 1st map. 4/10, my review will continue to drop as I find more game-breaking bugs

    Game is awful it has numerous bugs that have existed from launch and haven't been fixed. They added wheel support but all force feedback does is some light resistance on the wheel and you get more feedback from Euro Truck Simulator on a road vs this off-road.

They claim a new game engine but it is a slightly modified version of the Vee engine as you can see a lot of the bugs that existed in early Spintires (most of which have been patched out of Spintires now). The graphics are better then mudrunner but for the road its purely a higher quality texture over the same mud so as you drive over it you see the texture stretch. Sure it has a money and a levelling up system but all these negatives drive me away from it and I just can't recommend it to anyone. If you are looking to slowly traverse extreme terrain in large trucks I can only recommend Spintires as it is less then 1/3 of the price and is a lot less buggy Expand

    Die Physik ist bei den Trucks wirklich gelungen, nur bei den kleineren Fahrzeugen eher mittelmäßig.
    Leider ist das gesamte Spiel dermaßen verbuggt, vor allem auf Konsole. Aufträge, welche manchmal eine Stunde dauern und dann wegen eines Bugs nicht beendet werden können oder das Fahrzeuge, Anhänger oder die Ladung sehr oft festbuggt ist sehr demotivierend. Der Co-op Modus ist auch verbuggt. Zur Zeit macht es so einfach keinen Spaß zu spielen.

    The worst think in this game is the control mechanism. They put a lot of afford to make a off road simulator, and didn’t think about the primary thinks, like how the gear box or differential work in specific track. Very good terrain physics but fatal control.
    Very bad wheel control as well.

    I will try to be honest here, i enjoy the game.
    But i do have a few problems with it and the developers...:
    - Zero day (p2w) dlc adding overpowered vehicles - Because the game progression is **** up. You have to get at min rank 6 to unlock offroad tires, and you need to do tons of scouting/missions to get this rank 6. With the vehicles game allows you to get this is really super hard.

With the vehicles game allows you to get this is really super hard. But hey! Just pay a few bucks to get the Khan. You can just fly all over the michigan maps with it (even pulling every trailers and cargo you might have to... with winch...)
    - Discovering upgrades on the map is super nice. But WTF are they level-locked? If i find it, i should be abble to install it.
    - Its camera is still a nightmare. Hopefully modders can improve it? I hope so...
    - No direct live control of some parameters that would make sense in an offroad simulation. Like, tires pressure ???
    - Dynamic weather that looks nice, and give a live feeling ingame. But has absolutely no effect on the game world. Still somewhat about the weather, some temperature impact on evironment would be so good to have... if its -40°C its all frozen, mud is solid, ponds of water turn to ice. If temperature increase, snow and ice melt, its all muddy everywhere, and all rivers/water ponds are flooded

    In the end, i have fun (even if the difficulty is so badly balanced in early game. unless you buy DLC... humpf... you bastards) but the more i play, the less i feel like playing a simulation. Devs have been lazy maybe? Or they willingly made the game much more arcadish to please the crowds. Or they dont have the skills and knowledge to make it much better than what we have been offered here.

    This game is far from finished.
    You can go trough solo mode on your own just fine, but when you put a step in multiplayer, it's over.
    There are synchronisation errors everywhere, disconnects, crashes.

    Graphics are good, that's it. Even physics are broken.
    It could be a great game, I hope they'll work seriously on it.

    and it's gutted of it's factory features. like half the gears, no logging platform trailer, and a fraction of the towing strength.

    and once you finally, hours later, unlock the frame addons for it, they are about as useless as they come.
    1600L of diesel. 1 container.
    pretty much nothing (truck fuel trailer = 2000L on a dolly /4000L as a full size tanker trailer)
    container? same problem! so far i have not been given a job to ferry one...

    yeah, when you pick that kind of game, you kinda know trucks. or at least you're a bit into them.

    second, it tells you nothing about the intricacies of actually using a controller over a keyboard (MASSIVE fuel economy there) or how you have to switch right back to keyboard to use the towing feature...

    Because the automatic towing feature likes to go for the worst possible anchoring point around you. (like right by your left when you're going uphill and the terrain is tilted to the left= yanks you right on your flank and bam you're stuck and your payload's on the floor, lol)

    it's also EXTREMELY BUGGY.
    you will experience all the bugs present in mudrunner, with a few more, even more infuriating extras.

    kudos to the devs, the second story mission i tried to take on was impossible with the trucks i had.
    stat. i fixed two bridges, two avalanches, to find that my truck just could not do the job. trailer's too heavy!

    SWEET.

    back 5 hours of grind later, with a better truck: eh, now at least i can reach the few paved roads of the map. sweet. reach the destination: truck sinks instantly in the mud, with the dropzone in hands reach.

    (i did have to refuel halfway too, all the trucks in this game do like 700L+/100 or something)

    another truck for towing and 35 mins later, i had finally dropped my trailer.

    it's like that for MOST CAREER JOBS. you have to tow your truck with another truck to get anywhere.
    all the jobs pay f*** all.

    i would rate this in negative values if i could.

    The quest game mechanics are very poorly designed, making many quests impossible to accomplish, which is extremely frustrating when you spend one hour to deliver the goods.

    Another problematic aspect is the almost impossible beginning, where you almost can't do any mission because.... you can't buy tires adapted to the terrain. Not because of a lack of money, but only because of a lack of level.

    Also, many vehicle upgrades can only be obtained by finding them on the maps.... and each region has 4 maps. If the upgrade you want is in the 4th one, bad luck, because you can't go to other maps of your region freely.

    The other ridiculous thing is that despite the game being named Snowrunner, you stay in Michigan because it is totally impossible to accomplish missions on the Alaska map. The last region is Russia and is even more impossible.

    But the worst of all mechanics is the fact that your vehicle will overturn. Once it happens, there's absolutely nothing you can do except go back to the garage and do all the mission steps again. The overturn of a vehicle is really unpredictable and can happen even due to a simple rock or a mud hole. It can also happen due to invisible obstacles you hit, who also can badly damage your vehicle.

    At first I was really pleased to feel the freedom in this game, unfortunately too many poor design decisions, illogical level design and the feeling that "you're not allowed to do this yet because the devs don't want" let a bad game experience. In the end, I'm really deceived that this game is impossible to finish.

    I give 1 single point for the graphics, even if it's way too dark - Resident Evil-like - and there's absolutely nobody no pedestrians, workers or other vehicles on the map.

Someone at Saber is one smart cookie, awesome job. I'm also so happy I went with the season pass, if the base game is anything to go off of the DLC is gonna be awesome!!!

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.

    Hello everyone!
    First of all, I want to note that I am a fan of the "series" (I mean spintires and mudrunner) and have been waiting for this game for a long time.
    The game is now filled with interesting maps, tons of content and interesting research.
    Pleased with the quests.
    I want to note two main drawbacks, the first of which is systemic:
    1) I think that in 2020 to play in a cooperative so that progress went only for the HOST - inappropriately spent time. This is expressed in small and dirty inconveniences in the gameplay, for example:
    a) the guest cannot use the evacuation on cars allocated for him by the host.
    b) the guest cannot engage in tuning of equipment and generally get into the garage
    c) the guest is not able to sell the equipment found on the map and, accordingly, has a huge lag in money from HOST.
    All these little things could be countered by giving players the opportunity to specify when combining a game session, combine progress or leave it only for the HOST, as done now.
    2) BUGZ. Urgently need to eliminate bugs that block the development of story quests.
    I suggest introducing a boot system with separate save games at least. And the ability to adequately restart quests.
    One of the most unpleasant bugs at the moment is when completing the quest “Lost Container”. An incredible number of containers (pallets) with quest cargo appear on the map near the warehouse, which fly out into space at the entrance, like an endless accordion. And after that there is a total hang of the game client + now I can’t leave this place. Everything, 15+ hours of play in vain - to start over.

    I hope my review was constructive and the developers will polish the product.

Si cumplen lo que se ha hablado sobre el Seasson Pass este juego puede aumentar su contenido y sus horas de juegos de una manera asombrosa (como PayDay 2, una buena base de la que partir y mucho más contenido que se va introduciendo). Como han innovado y mejorado en todos los apartados le doy un rotundo 10, pero pongámoslo en contexto, un 10 dentro de su género, un juego que no tiene competencia, que es muy bueno ofreciendo una experiencia diferente a cualquier cosa.

Anyways, you can clearly see the improvement in physics, graphics of course, and the missions you have to complete throughout the game. The world seems a lot more alive here, you don't feel alone like I personally did in MudRunner. The vehicle's behaviour is very realistic and sheer detailing of the trucks inside and outside is awesome. Every single thing that could be affected by gravity and velocity behaves like it should which just can't be left unnoticed. The world is just spectacular, it's really obvious, there is nothing bad to say about that. The wide variety of trucks is also a big benefit.
    In the end, I'd like to say that if you have just half a brain you should NEVER judge such a great game, which was very hard to make in time, by several inconveniences that you may encounter because Snowrunner is truly one of the best offroading experiences that you could ever get in gaming.

In a time where it is sometimes difficult to make real progress or an impact on our environment or surroundings, Snowrunner has been a great game for me to enjoy and to work towards a goal. You get stuck in the mud, tip over your truck or run out of fuel, but you will try again, and you will succeed. It's very satisfying, and the journey with your truck through the wilderniss just adds to it all. Highly recommend the game to anyone who has patience, perseverence and wants to really get the most out of a game that rewards you in the end.

    My goty of 2020, one of best vehicle simulation game out there. I'd give it 10/10 if it was not for all the game breaking bugs like disappearing truck from a map which means you lose hundred thousands of hard earned money and many more minor bugs

    Потрясающая игра. Очень реалистичное поведение автомобилей при езде по бездорожью.
    Будьте осторожны, игровой процесс затягивает и не отпускает.
    Миссии интересные и есть общая сюжетная линия на каждой карте, а так же побочные задания. После выполнения миссий окружающий мир изменяется, прокладываются дороги, строятся мосты и многое другое. Очень важный момент в отличии от других игр -

    Очень важный момент в отличии от других игр - это то, что следы на земле и перепаханная грязь НЕ ИСЧЕЗАЮТ, а остаются и влияют на поведение автомобилей при последующих поездках, так что будьте осторожны =)

    Best game in the genre! (and pretty much the only one though, if you don't count previous spintires games).

    Totally worth it's money, I've never regretted getting premium version. If you are a fan of Spintires or ETS / ATS - this game is for you. It's not a reskin of slightly enchanced tech demo, which 2 previous games basically were. Grapghics is really nice, though it can be

    Grapghics is really nice, though it can be rather demanding on maxed out settings.

    Maps are big, diverse and really good.

    Lots of vehicles to buy / unlock, all of them are highly detailed (including interiors!)

    You can download new great trucks (I actively use them) and / or enchancements from mod.io, if you don't like vanilla ones.

    Lots of missions, hard but rewarding progression system for getting new trucks upgrades.

    Lots of emotions and fun while overturning your truck, getting deadly stuck in the mud, etc.

    Good graphics. Original, but a little monotonous gameplay. Big powerful trucks. Delivery of goods in harsh conditions. It takes a lot of patience and time to play.

    Its an overall good game but game play can seem slow because there is a lot of driving around.
    There are glitches here and there and the handling on the trucks could be horrible in some situation, but i enjoyed my time in the game. Graphics are great and environment is stunning.

    I don't understand the good critics here, this game is just pain, the worst thing that makes itself remarkable immediately is the bad steering... you have the feeling like you are on a boat... its like that inertia when you are steering in a direction, the tiires follow up only seconds later, not immediately.. I am wondering why? Why is that bull*hit? it feels like I am on water on an oilI don't understand the good critics here, this game is just pain, the worst thing that makes itself remarkable immediately is the bad steering... you have the feeling like you are on a boat... its like that inertia when you are steering in a direction, the tiires follow up only seconds later, not immediately.. I am wondering why? Why is that bull*hit? it feels like I am on water on an oil tanker and not in a vehicle and its just ridiculous for a simulation that claims to be realistic.
    Secondly, because of the steering it makes all that stuff like repairs etc. happening .. for every bump or crash into a tree you loose engine points, then you have to repair your vehicle every 3 days. I know developers probably liked that game elements because its a simulator but its just pplain stupid. It feels like a 3-days throwaway car that you drive.

    And most of all, its brain-damaging stupid and boring, you drive trucks with about 10km/h and it feels like you are spending most of your time driving stupidly through the environment. I now understand why people need 100 hours (link omitted per site rules) to get through this game -.-

    I really enjoy the game.It is quite nice when you want to play something rexaled where you are moving around the map doing freight jobs for the locals, unless you got stuck in the mud where the real challenge begins.Great gameplay, nice graphics.It get a bit repetitive some times but nothing to bad.There are some problems with hitboxes on structures around the map.
    Overall a great game.

    Let me start by saying I really really like this game, and I think this game could have been a 9 out of 10 game easy had they not included some insanely frustrating UI designs. Some may disagree with me here but I do think that Snowrunner is a huge step up from mudrunner. Snowrunner is an off road super sim. Very slow-paced but super methodical and even tactical in it's own way.

Some may disagree with me here but I do think that Snowrunner is a huge step up from mudrunner. Snowrunner is an off road super sim. Very slow-paced but super methodical and even tactical in it's own way. There are a lot of trucks to choose from, but you must first unlock them through xp or finding vehicles on the map. Of coarse the trucks you start with are pretty terrible making the start of the game quite a slog and I'm sure it will turn many players away, but if you do stick with it it becomes exponentially better. My biggest complaint is what I stated above, the UI. Mudrunner was similar but seeing as how snowrunner adds so much more to the table it also makes the UI an infuriating mess. I mean holy crap I have never seen such a confusing mess of a UI. It does the job (kind of?) but man it's bad. If you decide to try it you will see what I mean. It is so needlessly complicated I have a hard time believing the devs couldn't possibly find a better way to convey commands. I guess they thought that it added to the heavy sim gameplay but Jesus it's terrible. That being said it shouldn't stop you from playing if you are a fan of these types of sims. It's quite addicting, and that feeling of finally being able to afford and upgrade the truck you've had your eye on is great. Try it out, really. Expand

    I do not appreciate the grind in this game, on top of that you have to buy the same things per truck most of the time (even cabin cosmetics). But nonetheless, we still have here a practically uncontested but quality off-road trucking simulator packaged with even more content and activities than its predecessor.

    This game is broken on EGS i can’t launch it, no errors nothing. Funny thing is if a donwloaded from gamepass it worked perfectly. This is not worth any money. The developers also does nothing with this errors, i played this game before and it worked.

    what a lovely landscape and so many different undergrounds to drive on even snow!
    really like the look, it runs smoothly, pretty high fidelity game.
    but what makes it really unplayable is the REALLY bad way config of your steering works. You launch the game, everything is fine, next time you launch it, your sound doesnt work and your steering does not work either. just wanted to buy

    The game does extremely bad job at introducing you to all types of cargo, tasks, and hardware. You can easily end up tying to conquer snowy mountains on the 1st level with bad tires and no good trucks. I mean, it says "Snow" on the box, it teleports you to the snowy map after tutorial... But you've got to level up on different maps first, to get your set of tires for snow.
    Otherwise, it's

    Otherwise, it's fun to play. The game looks stunning, mud physics are there, all sorts of attachments and customizations are also included. The gameplay sure is repetitive- go grab some oversized cargo there and drag it through all the mud and rivers and mountains and rocks over here. Your car gets stuck all the time, turns over, breaks, runs out of fuel, and gets dirty. Somehow, it feels surprisingly relaxing.

    This game is too buggy to even start. My PC lives up to the spec and got latest drivers etc and I have no problems with any other game. It appears to simply be bugs preventing it from starting. I have refunded and will strongly recommend everyone not to buy this game any time soon.

    I played the original Spintires Game and Mudrunner since the beginning and for me Snowrunner is a mixed bad. While the graphis are a huge step forwards, the physics became more arcade to make this game more appealing for casual players.

    this game and that best used the physics of a truck, everything is perfect, deformation of the tires, chassis, springs, for muds, exchange, speedometer, hand brake...... the only ones Bugs that my game had was the driver's hand disappearing, the game closes alone and the truck's diesel stays at 0 even though it's full making the vehicle not move

    DLCs like on the assembly line. But they don't solve problems.
    Braking and reversing immediately after stopping.

    Beautiful game with a very calm atmosphere. Sometimes you almost feel a little lonely in the wilderness of Alaska.
    Just the right thing if you want to switch off and enjoy your peace and quiet.
    This game is not about hectic, but about planning missions and choosing the right truck for the right task.

    SnowRunner is an exemplary sequel in which the variety of content has increased several times compared to the previous game. There are a lot of new features, and the scale, content and number of maps have increased significantly. But most importantly, the gameplay has become more interesting. Setting up infrastructure in atmospheric locations is more exciting than just hauling logs. At the same time, the deep physical model is still as detailed as before, which will please hardcore fans of the genre. So if you are one of them, then it is definitely worth playing.
