At the end of the day, Offroad Truck Simulator: Heavy Duty Challenge just isn’t for me. However, I can understand and see where there is enjoyment in it. It’s a bit different to your run-of-the-mill truck simulator games. Not to mention it is very beautiful to look at. Although the other game modes seem like they could be a bit more in-depth, I think I still have to give Heavy Duty Challenge the Thumb Culture Silver Thumb Award.

I absolutely loved playing the Sport Mode in Offroad Truck Simulation: Heavy Duty Challenge, but anything beyond that is a hit-or-miss for me. The Cargo Mode feels limited and rushed, while the maps in Off-Road Trips are too buggy to enjoy. This, coupled with choppy visuals and poor framerates, raises serious concerns for the Xbox Series X version of the game. While it has a strong base underneath, it requires more optimization work and speed because otherwise the game will continue to lose its player base and will not be able to establish a strong foothold in its genre. If you are a fan of the Europa Truck Trial, you are going to love this game because the trucks in the game are amazing, and the courses are challenging as well. However, I would wait a little longer to give developers more time to optimize it before jumping into the game. If you want to jump right now, it is still a fun game, nonetheless, but be ready to face multiple glitches, bugs, and poor performance.

A different experience compared to other sports simulators, but unfortunately with untapped potential and a slew of bugs. That’s exactly how we can sum up the new Heavy Duty Challenge: The Off-Road Truck Simulator, which isn’t an outright disaster and, by Aerosoft’s standards, can be described as average. If the game included some form of a well-developed career mode and at least fine-tuned the physics model—which is lacking in some respects—Heavy Duty Challenge: The Off-Road Truck Simulator could be a decent simulator that would certainly find its fans. As it stands, however, the title will be forgotten very quickly, and it’s questionable how many people will actually play it. Four and a half out of ten.
