    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.

    Snowrunner ist der Nachfolger von Mudrunner. Das Spiel hat eine deutlich farbenfrohere Spielwelt, Mudrunner war da eher gräulich. Die Maps sind hübsch und glaubhaft gestaltet, auch wenn sie sehr leer wirken, vor allem die Dörfer und Städte sind ausgestorben.
    Es ist viel übersichtlicher als Mudrunner, auch Neueinsteiger sollten sich gut zurecht finden.

    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.    … Expand

    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.    … Expand

    A small stepup from spintires. Gameplay gets stale pretty quick because you basically transport cargo through mud all the time.

    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    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.    … Expand

    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. ThereLet 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. 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.

    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.

    It’s therapeutic, it’s deep, it’s engaging, and it’s indisputably unique. Everyone should try it.

    Snowrunner is what happens when an immovable object meets an irresistible force. As long as the irresistible force has a winch, the immovable object will lose.

    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.
