If you enjoyed Spintires and Mudrunner, you will hate this game. They have completely ruined the series with this game. Any customization or upgrades you can think of are locked behind many hours of grinding for experience and money. The difficulty is simply way too easy for most off-road and mud scenarios, but then absolutely impossible when trying to climb rocks, among other things. I have noticed that my trucks will randomly tip right over for no reason. I have put many hours into this game really honestly trying to enjoy it, because I loved Spintires so much. Mudrunner was a bit of a disappointment, so I thought they may have redeemed themselves...it really is too bad.

Incredible detail, lots of content, excellent physics and beautiful graphics. High replayability due to the variety offered by the regions and vehicles, and that all for a small price for the base game. The DLC is well worth the price also, but you can easily decide to get only one extra region. The maps are designed to perfection down to the smallest detail for you to explore and do tasks in, and the range of trucks and pickups is quite impressive with the added customizability. The bugs mentioned by other players have been addressed, and about 200 hours in, I have come across one or two minor bugs only. This is by far my favourite game of 2020. I should add to my review that this game really allows for you to get a sense of achievement. In a time where it is sometimes difficult to make real progress or an impact on our environment or surroundings, Snowrunner has been a great game for me to enjoy and to work towards a goal all the while enjoying the journey. You get stuck in the mud, tip over your truck or run out of fuel, but you will try again, and you will succeed. It's very satisfying, and the trip with your truck through the wilderness just adds to the already fulfilling experience. Highly recommend the game to anyone who has some patience, perseverence and wants to really get the most out of a game that rewards you in the end. I see the effort that the developers have put into the game with their eye for detail, and am thankful to them for making a game that not only they love, but I do too.

-This game is frustrated by the lack of manual transmission (H-Shifter)! - Lack of traction. -The lack of Hardcore mode - Lack of opportunity NOT to evacuate to the garage - Rain does not affect the ground surface in any way! The wipers don't work! (It's just a decoration) -This game loses to MudRunner in everything but graphics! -This is NOT a simulator, but an arcade game
