SnowRunner Reviews
Each route is full of dangers and "headaches", but that's what makes its completion all the more rewarding.

The slow pacing, often frustrating traversal and deliberately tanky controls will turn off those looking for an easy-going experience. However, once all of its mechanics click, it offers a deep and rewarding adventure that isn't like anything else on the market.
SnowRunner is a great game for simulator fans, although the port could and should have been more refined.

A delivery sim with RPG elements, SnowRunner is a bug-riddled time-sink that will appeal only to the most patient. Everyone else had best steer clear.
Its steep learning curve takes patience and determination to overcome. It's clear that this game is aimed at a very specific clientele. If you like a good challenge and overlanding is your kind of thing, Snow Runners is for you. If you like to romp through the countryside at full tilt with little consequence to your vehicle, stick to Forza Horizon.
GREAT - In the gaming space of off-roading playground titles, SnowRunner is the pack leader by far. Having honed their franchise for the better part of nearly 8 years, the game has some of the best terrain deformation I’ve seen, and realistic-feeling physics that truly make you engaged like you’re slogging through completely inhospitable terrain. There are some drawbacks in terms of onboarding difficulty, and some platform specifics like handheld mode being a toasty battery drain unlike I’ve ever seen before, but if the Switch is your gaming console of choice, it’s a total treat to have SnowRunner perform so well and provide countless hours through its campaigns.
If you’re looking for something that can last you hundreds of hours as you slowly and sometimes surely search through the wilderness and deliver much needed supplies then this is a Game Pass game that should be right up your alley.
SnowRunner is a unique title loaded with content. It will take us about 90 hours to complete the main missions. It also has dlcs increasing its duration to 190 hours if we are completists. With numerous and different events, it is a title that does not disappoint and that is very entertaining. Even so if you get bored, you can try it in cooperative where you will have guaranteed laughs. Although the game does not have a soundtrack, its ambient sound and its huge landscapes will be more than enough to please us.

SnowRunner is an interesting truck driving game where the environment is your opponent. As long as you can put up with its audio and visual issues and understand that it's an extremely slow-paced game, the rewards for sticking with it are worthwhile.
Realistic all-terrain driving games are an odd breed that has emerged in popularity in more recent years, and to date hasn’t been represented too well on the Switch...
Despite its limitations, SnowRunner on Switch can rightfully be declared as a "late but great" kind of port. This is a rare occasion where Switch owners will feel their patience has been respected. Considering the complexity of SnowRunner's simulation, foliage-dense open maps, and high-quality exterior and interior models, the fact that this is all somehow running on a 7-inch tablet with 2015 hardware is simply amazing to me. This is a feature-for-feature port, so there's nothing that Switch owners are missing out on compared to on the other platforms. Rather, there's only the key addition of portable play. So, is it worth it? By all means!
SnowRunner takes the series to new heights as it exceeds MudRunner in every way, while retaining everything that these games are known for. Saber Interactive balances frustration with wins that feel earned, even if that take you many hours in-game to achieve. This is a great entry point for those curious to traverse weathered open-world environments while completing jobs in singleplayer or online coop. SnowRunner is as deep as it is rewarding, and is one not to be missed.
If you've played the previous games then you'll grasp the concept rather quickly as a lot of it is still the same but improved, examples of tasks you'll need to take are delivering resources to locations to build bridges to connect other areas of the map to make your life easier, or clearing obstructions varying from rockslides to collapsed electricity transformers. In all honesty, when I looked at the map and saw all of the jobs available it was very overwhelming to the point of being confused as to where to start and what I needed to do.
SnowRunner offers a rather unique experience when it comes to vehicle-based video games.
In my test I tried to stay as objective as possible, especially because otherwise I'm not really a player of such genres. And yet, in the short time I played Snowrunner, I actually enjoyed it. Although I do see some problems here: For example, the tasks are just too repetitive to be really motivated to put much more hours into the title than I have done so far. Furthermore, the gameplay is also clearly too slow for me. The only reason why I would play the Snowrunner longer would be the multiplayer - as soon as it runs stable at some point. Even though my opinion is rather reserved, I can see the hype among the target group and can understand why the title is played passionately.

SnowRunner is a beautiful - and oftentimes frustrating - experience, but it's that journey you undertake, one that you carve out yourself, that makes all the trials and tribulations worth it. The struggles you face will become obstacles to conquer, with each route forming a sort of puzzle to solve. It may take a while to get into, and if you're having trouble at the start then stick through it, as the long haul is well worth it.
SnowRunner is a love letter to driving simulator fans and it's one of the best games the genre has seen to date.
SnowRunner is definitely a unique case. If you find its concept appealing, give this game a chance, as it may be an unusual yet really fun and relaxing way to pass your time.

SnowRunner is a perfect off-road simulation. It is a complex game with tons of content and great challenge. You can spend dozens of hours playing it. There've been some improvements since MudRunner. The technical part, however, lowers the final verdict by two points with lots of mistakes that have negative impact on the gameplay and with worse graphics. That's why our recommendation stopped at 7/10. Otherwise, it would be a 9/10, because in its genre, SnowRunner is unrivalled.
