Spintires: MudRunner Reviews
The game is not without its problems. I, honestly, did not like the game at first. As a gamer used to fast-paced action titles with cars that can go 0-100 mph in under 5 seconds, this game was like a tortoise racing a hare.
If you haven't given Spintires a chance then this is the time to do so. It's nice to see them shovel more content in rather than just plugging the game on to consoles. You'll have a good experience regardless of which format you grab it. Sim fans and casual players should find several good hours of fun in this.
Spintires: MudRunner is a game which can both relax and frustrate you at the same time, a game which you can sink hours into, and a game you can thoroughly enjoy with your friends or like-minded people. It's hard work trying to receive and deliver the logs but it brings a lot of satisfaction and enjoyment when you manage to complete the mission objectives. It does take a while to get used to the controls and whats on offer, but if you stick with it and play a few challenges, you will be rewarded with a great game with very addictive gameplay aspects.
Spintires: MudRunner is like heaven for fans of trucks and dirt. It's a pretty realistic simulation which could also hook players that are just interested in an occasional challenge.

Spintires: MudRunners was an interesting surprise for me. At first, I thought I was getting a racing title, but I quickly saw that wasn't the case – it morphed into an experience I have never had before! It was difficult, but in a good way, and really challenged the way I play games with vehicles, as it's not just about going fast, but about getting things done right.
Just like real off-road driving, Mudrunner can be frustrating and difficult, but for the most part it's fun, satisfying and gloriously messy.
For the lovers of heavy trucks, 4 wheel drives and Jeeps, and for the lovers of rough roads and difficult conditions, Spintires is the real deal. Spintires is a solid driving simulation like no other game before, and while its camera angels and controls might be annoying at first, the top-notch visuals and sharp gameplay eventually help it to become one of the best driving simulations available on the market.

It has the graphical brilliance of a triple A title, but the love and meaty gameplay of an indie. It really combines the best of both worlds, and I couldn’t recommend it highly enough to anybody who thinks there’s even a chance they might enjoy it.
Spintires: MudRunner Is A Tough, But Rewarding Ride
Spintires: MudRuner is a breath of fresh air for the usual player of the sport driving genre. In addition, with its fantastic atmosphere, it will transport us to the purest nature. However, its high difficulty can make us lose interest and leave it aside.

Spintires: MudRunner is something different than any other racing game currently available. It is a simulator of truck wagons, heavy trucks, tractors and cranes that will put the player against challenging and treacherous terrains. It is a great game in every technical aspect, with small problems that can be easily repaired in the future.

Anything but dirt: Spintires is a humorous off-road simulation for patient truckers.

This game is one of frustration...in so many ways. The way your truck moves at a snail's pace along the seemingly neverending mucky paths, the way the external camera never sits quite right, the fact that the most enjoyable experiences in the game (the challenges) are such a small part. So while there is some enjoyment to be had and the physics engine and graphics are both notable, the core game ultimately feels more like work than fun.
When all is said and done, the strong gameplay overcomes the flaws in the game. While the graphics are hit and miss, the modding community has already started making improvements. If you are tired of the typical racing sim, or are looking for a more realistic off-road experience, Spintires: MudRunner may be the game for you. And you won’t have to stop by the carwash when you get done.
Spintires: Mudrunner is an interesting game in a genre nobody knew existed.
Spintires: Mudrunner is a hard-crusted simulation title that makes you earn your fun through hard work and determination. It's certainly not for everyone with a crawling pace and a muted aesthetic, but the impressive physics and sandbox design make for some great moments, especially if you're playing with others. The UI and vehicle handling will have you wrestling for control at times, but if you persevere, this is a game with surprisingly rewarding gameplay and plenty to get stuck into.
The camera problems do threaten to take this off-road game into a ditch, but you'll likely come back and persevere with MudRunner far more generously and readily than you would expect. Providing a reason why driving at a glacial pace through the game's muddy tracks is so gloriously satisfying is as tricky as trying to explain why another episode of Ice Road Truckers always seems like a good idea. There's absolutely no doubt that it isn't perfect, and that more patient players will get more out of this than those with a shorter fuse, but it's impressive how such a relatively simple concept can provide so many hours of entertainment.
Spintires MudRunner brings a new experience on the racing genre, being much better than its predecessor thanks to a new open world map and great quality settings. A game only for those with patience due to its terrible camera.
