6.5/10 ------- "Snow"runner with 3 snowy regions and roughly 9 muddy ones TLDR: Spend your Money with caution! Massive content bloat, issues that are trivial to fix and selling the solutions to all base game problems. For 30€ you get 3 regions, each with 4 sub-regions, and a bunch of trucks (most of which are useless) If you want the "full experience" thats 150€ and will add some decent regions and a bunch of clutter to the truck shop The monetization model is pretty much just collectibles (i.e. shiny new trucks) and those dlc trucks are always better than any non dlc truck. If you wanna cheese the game, buy the ZikZ Military and you win.. its monstrously op Graphics and terrain in all areas look good and seem to make sense. On Taimyr (3rd region) however it is very noticable how the roads have purposefully been made worse in areas where they expect to "catch you off guard" with it. Craters strategically placed if you want to shortcut from a watchtower to an upgrade location. Rocks placed perfectly in narrow passages so that all trucks besides the Tayga will tip if holding a seismic module (which you need to drive around the ENTIRE region to progress) The whole region feels designed to mess you up rather than providing a realistic scenario. (I tried the dlc regions and did not find these issues there, its only Taimyr) Mouse and Keyboard works very poorly. Shifting gears doesnt always shift it all the way. Your mouse will randomly spaz out and do a 360, or there might be micro stutters. Vertical mouse sensitivity is way to high and cant be adjusted. So in third person its quite difficult just to look straight ahead.. The Gameplay is... decent-ish. The driving mechanics work quite well in difficult terrain but on a straight asphalt road you will loose all control at around 60 km/h no matter what. Trees and stones can get completely stuck in front of your wheels, making it impossible to move through deep swamp. (90% of the time they can be pushed out of the way but.. not always) Your wheels can phase through tree stumps which will then get stuck on your rear bumper, making it again impossible to move. All there is to do in the game is complete missions. These mission will almost always be "deliver x from y to z" or on rare occasions "travel to 4-8 locations). This can get boring very quickly since you dont feel much progress. The payouts are miserable and leveling up unlocks more useless trucks that either tip when hit by a gust of wind, or they cant carry any cargo. And of course, the solution is in your wallet. Whip out some money, buy the ZikZ military tank which can haul up to 4 cargo pieces + a crane, never tips, pulls any trailer in the game like its nothing and has 500 fuel with extra fuel and repairs ontop.. Just WTF.. It is the very definition of implementing problems and then selling the solution. Coop works, or at least you can be someones unpaid salve. Missions will pay Money and XP to both of you, but only the host will get new vehicles (which are worth as much as 20+ missions). Eventhough I was there, pulled the car, repaired it and brought it back through deep snow, I do not get anything besides 2k money. Yippieeee ~Devs sitting in a dark room conspiring~ "Hehehe NOW he HAS TO buy our dlc's" Well jokes on you, I wont. All you get is an honest review. All in All, Snowrunner is.. alright. You can defenitly get some enjoyment out of it but with all the content bloat I cannot reccomend buying the dlc's. There are way too many of them and they are way to expensive for just adding a truck or two: All you can drive is ONE truck. You will never need all of them. If you finished the entire base game, go on google and look up which dlcs would be best for you. Some are extremely difficult, others are just simple eye candy. Look at videos and maybe even reviews before you waste your money on something thats not what you expected.

It takes forever to get anything done and it's really hard and annoying. But i have to keep playing. Whoever's in charge of the maintenance of these roads should be fired.

This game scratches some weird itch for me. I weirdly draw a lot of parallels to death stranding, a large part of the challenge of the game is finding routes and using tools and good vehicles to navigate those routes. I honestly just wish there were more modern vehicles. 9/10

For me, this game fills a niche of needing just enough attention to not get bored, but also enough to be really fun and interesting. Its a very specific sweet spot that allows me to have fun with a game and also watch videos on another monitor. Don't get me wrong, its still fun to play this game by itself. Pros: -Very addictive gameplay loop -Loads of content in the base game alone, and DLC adds a ton more -Excellent graphics and soundtrack -Great terrain simulation -Variety of trucks, upgrades, and customization. All well detailed -Tons of mods to add more content Cons: -Vehicle drivetrain simulation is lacking (transmissions never shift down; low gears sometimes feel like they don't give you much torque multiplication; weird H (high) gear that feels like a crutch to get around the downshifting issue, but can also sometimes send your truck rocketing forward depending on the setup) -Asphalt grip is actually non-existent at "high" (35+ mph) speed, even with highway tires. -Hard mode has some unnecessary handicaps. Not being able to sell trailers and fuel costing WAY too much. Recommend making your own hard mode with new game+. -A few tasks/contracts can be really tedious because they require you to drive the exact same route multiple times in a row. Not many of these, though. -Mods seem to be restricted to adding content and making edits to existing content. No way to change core gameplay features (ex. can't allow trucks to use diff lock when not in low, cannot have more than one winch, etc.) A few modders have done some great work making new mechanics within the existing framework, but there's only so much they can do. These cons aren't dealbreakers IMO, just stuff to be aware of beforehand.
