Star Trucker Reviews
Part wide-eyed escapism and part muscular, slightly ponderous driving sim, Star Trucker is as much about concentration as it is relaxation. Oh, and preparation - if you don't want to end up asphyxiating miles away from the nearest cash n' carry.
Star Trucker is either wildly infuriating or incredibly relaxing, depending on how you approach it on a given day.
Raw Fury puts truckers into space in Star Trucker, but is it really about the open "road" or is it about micro-managing power systems?
There's a lot to like in Star Trucker, and it's bursting with potential. It's also in need of some balance and tweaking. Still, what's on offer is well worth the asking price, and should keep you trucking for a long while.
Star Trucker from developer Monster & Monster and publisher Raw Fury is a solid game and a fun concept. It does enough to keep you in a space truck’s cockpit with its skills tree, challenging hauls, and push to keep exploring space and its vastness. It certainly has some fixable shortcomings but has more positive than negative.
You can spend tens of hours in cold space, but you have to be in the mood and have the time. The game is currently brought to its knees by shallowness and game elements that are not perfected.

With Star Trucker, Monster and Monster invites us to leave behind the paved roads to become real space truckers, with an accessible and fun arcade simulator. A video game that does enough to keep us in the cab of a space truck, with an enjoyable proposal that, despite having some annoying aspects, manages to tip the balance in its favor.

While not necessarily the most out there game in terms of ideas or gameplay, what is here helps give Space Trucker plenty of legs, especially to someone like me who is naturally inclined to enjoy the mundane nature of hauling cargo, with the added hooks of having to do it in space. The setting is cool in its relative routine structure of playing a worker sometime in the future where it’s just another job like any other, which is exactly the type of sci-fi that most appeals to me. Whatever contract is out there, I’ll be sure to pop by and do my best, ten-4, breaker breaker.
Star Trucker reflects the space theme nicely but presents challenging gameplay instead of offering players a relaxing experience.

Star Trucker competes with the likes of American Truck Simulator and is able to keep up without needing to catch its breath. Monster and Monster’s truck simulation is a game I thought would be a novelty, but it turned out to be so much more. There’s nothing like cruising through a system to deliver cargo while you’re leaking oxygen and you’re about to exceed the deadline given to you – do you risk it for the extra money? This and many other questions is what you’ll be asking yourself. Star Trucker is as challenging as it is rewarding, and it’s out of this world truck simulation not to be missed.
Star Trucker can be as relaxing or sweaty as you like. While the main story’s writing wasn’t the best it was more than made up for by how solid the rest of the title is. It looks great, feels damned good to play, and I could see it easily becoming a new go-to podcast game for millions of Game Pass players.
