SnowRunner's core gameplay is unique and satisfying, but there are too many simple design flaws to make the game anything more than Death Stranding without the intrigue.

SnowRunner's realistic depiction of driving through thick mud and dense snow across a vast sandbox is quite admirable. It is, without a doubt, a far better game than its predecessor, complete with a ton more content, and future planned DLC. The three main regions feel distinct, and while beautiful, there are plenty of frustrating moments ahead. Now, if you excuse me, I have a big rig stuck halfway up a mountain in a couple of feet of sludge.

SnowRunner is a compelling combination of truck simulation gameplay within the structure of a western triple-A open-world game. It’s an odd mix, but it works, in spite of some minor annoyances.

It’s hard not to say that SnowRunner is the sequel to MudRunner. But one can argue that it is also a more gamified and less authorial piece. It feels better to play in the long run, but it lacks the feeling of discovery the previous one had. If anything, the games complement each other. If you do plan on getting it, make sure to grab MudRunner too, even if only for its vibrant mod community.

SnowRunner is the stay-inside game we need right now. Slow, rewarding, and providing just enough resistance to keep the player sharp, it's a singularly zen experience that's made for a particular kind of person -- even those who avoid more genre-standard titles.

SnowRunner is an exemplary sequel in which the variety of content has increased several times compared to the previous game.

I enjoyed many aspects of SnowRunner and see the improvements that Saber Interactive has made with the new entry into the series. After tackling mud and snow, it’ll be interesting to see where the next title treads.

Simultaneously relaxing, infuriating, perplexing, and rewarding, SnowRunner is on my shortlist for game of the year.

SnowRunner focuses on certain group of players and dedicates all of its content towards that hardcore fun track driving simulation, but still it does that very good with a great online co-op to raise its value.

SnowRunner is worth to be considered as one of the best driving simulation games. The game can be a little slow-paced or too challenging sometimes, but totally, it's a really good game. Saber Interactive newest game is not for everyone, but it's an enjoyable experience for fans who want to try some new challenges.

I would say that I am a simulation game aficionado of sorts, having played MudRunners before, as well as other games in the genre like Farming Simulator, Construction Simulator and EuroTruck Simulator. For some, the driving simulation style of games just never clicks. For others though, the gameplay is relaxing and enjoyable, despite frequently finding myself careening down a hill or tumbling over an embankment.

Despite some insignificant and purely subjective flaws, SnowRunner offers the best offroad simulation experience yet.

Although it is going to be though on newcomers, the amount of improvements have made this a great title among driving simulation games and SnowRunner is definitely the best of Spintires franchise to date.

It is also worth noting that there's even more content on the way with the SnowRunner Season Pass, which is included in SnowRunner — Premium Edition. The content will be delivered in four phases, each with its own unique theme and region. The Season Pass will include brand-new vehicles, maps and activities throughout 2020 and beyond. The first Season Pass content drop is expected in the coming weeks, so get ready to brave the tundra and hunt down the wreckage of a lost World War II bomber.

SnowRunner is a brilliant off-road truck simulator with a keen eye to entertainment and fun. Deep but accessible, frustrating but rewarding, it's a compelling experience where impossible adventures become possible.

SnowRunner's peculiar brand of off-road ordeals is addictive, deep, and rewarding when played in the right spirit.

With Snowrunners we see a title that gives what it promises, a transporter simulator with a great mapping, realistic physics and a wide variety of environments and vehicles we have for hours of content where the goal is not to arrive as soon as possible to complete our tasks, If not take a leap of joy to get to that path that we saw impossible or cross the swamp thanks to the fact that we have acquired a better vehicle. We also have a cooperative multiplayer section with up to 4 players, and that gives one more incentive to take a few hours to the title, since you can do joint missions with your friends.

SnowRunner is a slow game, requiring a lot of patience to get through. If you're willing to give it the time investment it asks, then you will find a satisfying experience here, with each contract you take, and each road you traverse, unfolding into one big puzzle to tackle. A hoard of customisation options also allows you to tinker with your trucks to your heart's content. If that sounds up your street, then SnowRunner might be for you, but don't expect to get anything done fast.

We are facing a somewhat continuous title, but with enough news to satisfy the fans. New types of missions, a three-fold extension, the inclusion of snow, vehicles and the customization of them, are more than enough content for this sequel. Of course, it will test our nerves.

SnowRunner moved the bar a couple steps higher in every way. The beautiful realistic graphics offer plenty of amazingly detailed winter environments. If you're patient enough and a fan of offroad driving simulators, you'd better not miss it.
