Expeditions: A MudRunner Game is an excellent ‘simulation’ game, in so many quotes. However, the real heart of the experience lies not in the realism of driving and exploration but in the ability to solve reasoned and exciting puzzles. After SnowRunner, which we always recommend recovering, this is another very successful title, which only stumbles in the less than first-rate graphics compartment.

Expeditions: A Mudrunner Game feels less like a mere logistics simulator, and more like a truck version of Death Stranding that feels more exciting to play than Death Stranding itself.

Expeditions: A MudRunner Game is a unique, solid and satisfying experience, pushing the player into increasingly complex and rewarding challenges. It's not perfect and suited to everyone, and it has some major limitations, but it remains recommended for anyone eager for discovery and planning that seeks a vast, challenging but also relaxing experience.

In conclusion, Expeditions: A MudRunner Game is an excellent off-road simulator with a strange scientific theme that serves mainly to justify the explorations. Its realistic physics and gameplay possibilities delight the player with challenging maps requiring increasing skill in handling the off-road vehicle and its gadgets to complete levels. Not suitable for everyone due to its intrinsic complexity and tedious preparation menus for each expedition, but understandable for ensuring sufficient preparation.

Expeditions: A MudRunner Game offers a similar experience to its predecessors, without offering anything identical. In fact, by taking the player a little more by the hand, the title is without doubt the most accessible in the series. Not to mention that the team at Saber Interactive have done a near-perfect job on the technical front. There are currently around 100 hours of content, and plenty of DLC is also planned to add missions. However, the title may not appeal to older players who lose a certain sense of freedom. Not to mention that the overall experience remains very similar.

I think Expeditions is a solid experience when it brings with it the best qualities of its past, but there are times when the title doesn’t do a good enough job at hiding the puzzle-like nature of what these titles are at their core. While Expeditions does a great deal to be more streamlined and accessible, all it did was make me wish I was playing SnowRunner instead.

Expeditions: A MudRunner Game is another great off-road game that is based on previous MudRunner entries. But it's worth noting that the amount of content in this release is rather lacking.

As difficult as the previous game but more accessible, Expedition feels like a happy medium for the series. The developers didn't make the game significantly easier, but at the same time failures here don't feel as devastating as they did in SnowRunner.

When it comes to the joy of off-road driving, few games can capture the feel as expertly or effortlessly as Expeditions: A MudRunner Game. The lack of online co-op at launch, or even a central narrative might hurt it a bit, but it's still an excellent driving game owing to the thousands of small player-driven emergent stories that can pop up, and the sense of exploration is still downright fantastic.

Expeditions feels like an exciting new direction for this series that encourages more experimentation on the gameplay side and I am thrilled that this didn't just feel like Mudrunner or Snowrunner again. I am excited to see where Saber takes the game with its seasonal content, especially after the exciting editions we saw with the Snowrunner seasons.

Expeditions: A MudRunner Game arrives on Switch in a port that does a surprisingly decent job of delivering the goods without getting utterly bogged down by issues en route. This is a big game, a modern, physics-heavy beast, and while there's a blurriness to the visuals which detracts from the overall atmosphere, and some frame rate bumps along the way to boot, the core experience has arrived intact. It's not perfect, but it's a reasonably decent place from (s)which to start for a game that absolutely deserves your time and patience.

Although its vehicles and goals are a bit different than in MudRunner or SnowRunner, Expeditions’ more compact mission structure works equally well. The beautiful and intricate puzzle-like environments offer multiple routes to success when coupled with the game’s tools and toys. Armchair adventurers looking for a mild vicarious thrill behind the wheel will find it, as will virtual driving veterans willing to push their skills and understanding of physics to the limit.

With Expeditions: A Mudrunner Game Saber Interactive takes a new spin on the beloved offroad franchise. With a much lesser focus on transportation over exploration, this time more than ever the journey is the goal. A more guided structure eases new players in, while veterans can discover plenty of challenging side missions off the beaten path. While there are some technical issues at launch and the multiplayer is sorely missed (to be added via free update later), the package as a whole is still a solid game for those who don't mind taking it slower.

Expeditions: A Mudrunner Game has a lot of tidying up to do to become what it should be, but there's a wonderfully-rewarding game in there once you've learned its quirks.

Expeditions: A MudRunner Game isn’t a replacement for the supremely addictive SnowRunner, but its more untamed wilderness maps make it a worthwhile complementary experience.
