    Unfortunately, this cannot be played on this console. The game is great but it breaks over time. Deletes captured trucks and modifications. The developers know about the problem but don't fix it. They release more extras for which they take money, even on a switch. I do not recommend this game at the moment because after some time it is impossible to play.

    Unplayable. 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 forUnplayable. 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.… Expand

    This game is great, I would even say it is one of my favorite games ever, except the Switch version makes it impossible to play said fantastic game. I got premium trucks through DLC, got trucks through progress, and everything just dissipated because I can't load my saves. It really sucks that this essential part of the game is just ignored by the devs. At this state, one of my favoriteThis game is great, I would even say it is one of my favorite games ever, except the Switch version makes it impossible to play said fantastic game.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Great game, but IT IS A TICKING TIME BOMB.

    After about 100-200 hours of game time, the game will inevitably start to crash every 5-10 minutes, rendering the game unplayable. There are no reliable workarounds. The developers know about this issue and said that they are working on a patch. It's been almost a year since this problem has been brought to their attention and they're still working on a patch. Basically since this isn't a mainstream game like Cyberpunk or Call of Duty, there isn't much backlash, so they don't feel the need to fix it. Stay away.    … Expand

    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.
