    Annoyances aside, SnowRunner is a great non-18-wheeler truck driving simulator. Its steep learning curve takes patience and determination to overcome. It’s clear that this game is aimed at a very specific clientele. If you like a good challenge and overlanding is your kind of thing, Snow Runners is for you. If you like to romp through the countryside at full tilt with little consequence to your vehicle, stick to Forza Horizon.

    SnowRunner will appeal to fans of truck simulators and running cargo. It is a series that has found a niche as an all-terrain simulator and serves it well. Hauling cargo through the snow-covered wilderness requires patience and will cause frustration, but it's all part of the experience and makes a successful run all the sweeter. Unfortunately, some issues are keeping it from being great. Still, SnowRunner is a solid experience on the Switch, especially when the last year has kept many of us from being outside, tearing up the landscape in massive vehicles.

    The off-road simulation draws you in with its quite unique charme, but the visuals on Switch are suffering a bit.

    An excellent and very welcome port of an already great and addictive game that stands out among other games in the genre.

    Snowrunner on the Nintendo Switch is still an enjoyable and challenging game, despite a bunch of flaws due to technical limitations.

    SnowRunner is the classic game where "satisfaction often rhymes with frustration". It's a really good title, and Saber Interactive's conversion for Nintendo Switch is more than adequate.

    SnowRunner is an interesting truck driving game where the environment is your opponent. As long as you can put up with its audio and visual issues and understand that it's an extremely slow-paced game, the rewards for sticking with it are worthwhile.

    SnowRunner on Switch is now the most authentic driving simulator that the hybrid has to offer. It's a feature-for-feature port of an already renowned game and is made all the better thanks to Switch-exclusive portable functionality. While there are some technical limitations, Saber Interactive has managed to cram SnowRunner's foliage-dense open-world maps onto the hybrid with preservation of detail that was unexpected. It's one of the best-looking games on Switch and the largest in terms of sheer content. Anyone who's a fan of driving games is in for a treat.

    The game is good, there are no differences in gameplay from the versions from the computer and consoles. I bought myself on nintendo swichThe game is good, there are no differences in gameplay from the versions from the computer and consoles. I bought myself on nintendo swich because the game is interesting to me. It is very frustrating that the picture quality is terrible soap, objects appear right in front of the car. It's horrible. I bought the premium version with all the extras - and it's wasted money. If the developers change something, maybe then my opinion will change. In the meantime, this is a mockery of Nintendo Switch players.… Full Review »

Very weird game. Love it and hate it at the same time. Spend 150 hours+ hours in it since its release and still have days I play it like a madman. Then I stop playing for a few weeks, realise I miss it and come back to it to fall in love again.… Full Review »

    Unplayable. I have had hours of progress reset and trucks + upgrades deleted. This has been happening over and over again, I feel likeUnplayable. I have had hours of progress reset and trucks + upgrades deleted. This has been happening over and over again, I feel like Prometheus at this point. Graphics pop in at the last second and all of a sudden you’re crashing into objects or getting stuck/ flipped over on boulders. Logging tasks/ contracts are unbearable when compared to Mudrunner. No medium log body add on for trucks, and having to deliver a stupid amount of logs to complete the objective makes logging feel like a painful unnecessary long and expensive feat. A frustrating experience overall.… Full Review »
