I was pleasantly surprised by how immersive this game can be. I play ATS and ETS and love them but wanted to try this with its interactive features: maintaining your truck, shopping and keeping stock of things for winter etc. Also wanted to try the ice roads. Although graphically it isn't at the level of the other two, the devs have put a lot of thought and time into this game. Using a steering wheel, the feedback is nice and firm and the steering feels natural. I hardly had to mess with settings to fine tune it. The game doesn't support track IR yet but with the unobtrusive virtual mirrors you can enable and disable easily, I didn't miss as much as I thought. The different camera angles are pretty good too. The AI drivers are pretty terrible though and will slam into you, but it is fun to see them spin out as you whirl around to avoid them. Improvements I hope to see: -Improved shifter compatibility: My Eaton Fuller range splitter shift knob isn't recognized by the game. It is a separate USB device but although my Thrustmaster H shifter is a separate USB device as well, it does recognize that -The addition of head tracking -Improved AI logic, where they stop when coming out of a side street instead of careening into the side of your rig and damaging your load (it is okay if they still screw up sometimes though- for realism!). In the winter the AI drives as if it is dry pavement. They should slow down and slip and slide more, get stuck etc. -Rework the issue where you are fined when an AI driver slams into you and it is not your fault. That has been mentioned previously a while ago but hasn't been addressed Scenery pop in is very late even though I have it set high. Vegetation will pop in just in front of my truck sometimes. It may be my video card though. I tried it on two laptops running Nvidia cards and it ran better. My rig is runs an AMD Radeon Over all I think it's a great game and really enjoy it. Well done Road Studio 👍

This game has a lot of potential! When I bought this game it was great but it becomes so repetitive. I love the map scale, the vehicles and the customization options. The AI traffic could use some work. They'll just hit you even if they have enough distance to stop/yield. The UI could also use some work as well. It's not a deal breaker for me but most games i play that measures character stats (ie.; health, fuel, hunger, etc) use bars. I find it hard to know how much fuel to put in because I have no info on how much fuel the truck takes. Like i said, not a deal breaker, I just like to manage my vehicle and money by knowing the details. I do love how this game has a detail that American Truck Simulator and Euro Truck Simulator 2 are missing that the community has been wanting forever; The ability to stop and sleep anywhere. I do recommend this game for others. If it was based on a star system 0-5, I would give this a solid 3 Stars (Needs Improvement). I wouldn't recommend something that is under 3 Stars. As stated before this game has potential and I hope the devs are listening to the community.

Let's get this out of the way first... Alaskan Road Truckers (ART) is not American/Euro Truck Simulator, nor does it try to be. As long as you go into it with that understanding, you won't be disappointed (too much). There are a lot of things this game does well. If you like simulators with elements of survival, you should try it. The good: -Seasons with their own weather patterns -Truck handling/physics affected by rain/puddles/ice/snow -Character vitals management system (you have to eat/drink, sleep, and ensure you're dressed warm or have the heater on inside the truck so you don't freeze to death) -You can sleep in the sleeper of your truck anywhere you stop -Headquarters customization/facilities options -Survival/RPG elements The bad: -AI drivers... dumber than a sack of coal (if you stop and put your hazards on, someone will most likely run into the back of your trailer, damaging the load and reducing your payout; horrible driving- I have seen plenty of AI take turns at a super fast speed and crash out or slam into something when they see a cop and panic) -Speed limits- there are speed limit signs all over and you often have sections of road where the limit transitions from 55mph to 25 mph and back to 55 mph within the span of 50 yards. That's not okay when you might have a cop sitting on the side of the road right past those signs and you don't have time to stop on a dime or drop your speed to match the new limit. Fines are proportional to how fast you were going over the limit. Even if there are no cops in sight and an AI driver runs into you, you will likely be fined for causing a collision. -No cops patrolling the roads, only pulled over on the side manning speed traps -Steering- super jerky and there are no options to disable auto re-centering -Performance of the more expensive trucks- dealer description lists a truck as having 16 gears... well, the max on the best truck is 10. The RPMs rev out annoyingly and it seems like the wheels are spitting in place the whole time unless you start in 8th gear or higher. -The amount of experience and pay you receive is abysmal in proportion to difficulty and distance traveled. -Bugs/crashes- had one fatal error crash, had CB radio not allow me to call in someone to clear avalanches blocking the road, and had a trailer go to 0% health as soon as I hooked it up after accepting the job.

I love this game! These are the type of game mechanics that I wished were in American Truck Simulator and its European counterpart. The almost survival mechanics are so cool and having to take care of your truck and maintain it and being able to move around instead of being attached to the truck is so awesome I look forward to seeing more for this game. That all being said I have one issue…. The optimization for this game… holy shit it needs to be better optimized because it runs very poorly but it’s not unplayable, it just needs some serious optimization patches.

Highly recommended. If you are expecting another ATS or ETS2, forget it. This isnt really about the trucks, though theres plenty of driving, its about the owner operator lifestyle. Looking after yourself, survival game style, and looking after your equipment is a critical part of the game and it adds variation that you just cant get in ATS or ETS2 (whcih I have 4000 hours in). fun, hell yes. Graphically good..well.. no...Actively developed, yes. The Devs themselves are extremely active in discord helping people and answering questions, giving tips and advice. Cons : 1) graphically not really up to scratch, but good enough. 2) Lacking in decent, in depth tutorial, but this is made up by the help in discord. 3) Fog is frequent, and far, far too thick. You literally cant see more than about 20 yards, so stopping outside a gas station you cant even see it. you are taking guesses where to turn. 4) AI traffic is... well, as bad as ATS in different ways. They are all absolute Juan Manual Fangios when they come to a turn and hit the brakes with both feet without warning. Be warned. Pros: 1) lifestyle. something SCS games dont give you. The ability...need...to get around outside the truck frequently just adds to the overall experience so much. 2) Physics. While some areas are a little questionable, this thing will jackknife you if you over cook it into a corner very realistically. You can even drift the trailer pretty cool. 3) support. Second to none. Easily accessible via discord (Take note SCS...get a discord server!), with Devs actively advising and helping and taking suggestions "live". I have found them to be extremely helpful and patient. 4) Maintenance on yourself, and your vehicle, and a good upgrade path. Nothing comes easy, and they have struck a great balance in achieving unlocks. You get what you earn, no more, no less. The upgrade system (perks) needs to be mentioned in the tutorial though...in fact, the whole tutorial needs a LOT of work, which I am sure will come. Overall, if you are into a trucking game that goes "above and beyond" just driving a truck from A to B, this will certainly make you happy. Highly recommended.
