Expeditions: A Mudrunner Game Reviews
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.
This time Expeditions: A MudRunner Game is more of a new, slightly different platform than the one we had.

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.

Expeditions: A MudRunner Game is an enjoyable experience, but its highlighting features may not appeal to everyone.
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.
Review in Russian |
Expeditions: A MudRunner Game is an interesting iteration on Saber Interactive's earlier off-road simulation titles that brings some new features while keeping the core challenge familiar to fans of the series. There is a lot of content available, though much of it inevitably boils down the main concept of having to deal with hard environments. Most of this works reasonably well, but some of the new additions feel a bit light and not as fully fleshed out as I'd like them to be. Overall, it is an enjoyable experience, but only the hardcore fans of the series are likely to make it through the hundreds of hours spent climbing over rocks and sinking into pits of mud.
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.
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.
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 is a commendable journey for truck and mud running enthusiasts seeking a relaxing yet intricately detailed experience. While facing some technical and pacing drawbacks, the game excels in delivering a unique blend of relaxation and challenge. With improvements in certain aspects, it has the potential to solidify its place as the go-to title for those craving a serene adventure amidst the mud.
Expeditions: A MudRunner Game is as punishing as it is rewarding, but for those willing to stick with it, there's plenty to enjoy.
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.

With Expeditions: A MudRunner Game, Saber Interactive decides to take its simulative series into the wilderness with a change of perspective. So here are scientific expeditions to be meticulously prepared, between retrieving precious cargo to rescuing lost vehicles, passing through the inevitable snags along the way to be solved with skill and craftsmanship. In this respect, the new spin-off installment of the MudRunner series surprisingly tends toward puzzle games, putting the player in situations to overcome with the right method at the right time through full awareness of one's resources. However, the purely simulative approach may not suit every palate: if you don't want to freak out over yet another vehicle mired in mud, paved roads may be more for you.

Expeditions left a good impression. It sticks to the successful MudRunner or SnowRunner style of terrain simulations. There could be more variety of content, but we got exactly what we expected.

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.
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.
