SnowRunner Reviews
A truly masterful simulator, and one of the most immersive games in recent memory.

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.
SnowRunner is a game thoroughly, single-mindedly, in love with the open road. It just happens that it's the kind of love that's bred by getting that road so thoroughly under your nails, you occasionally have to wonder whether it's actually hate. Care, attention and time will show that SnowRunner is a passion project worth putting the extra mile in for.
Simultaneously relaxing, infuriating, perplexing, and rewarding, SnowRunner is on my shortlist for game of the year.
SnowRunner is an incredibly challenging and rewarding trucking simulatior despite some minor flaws.
A beautiful-looking simulation with very specific appeal that will likely turn off as many people as it interests. If you're in the latter group, however, this is an indispensable physics toybox.
SnowRunner is a love letter to driving simulator fans and it's one of the best games the genre has seen to date.
Once you get your head around the time and patience aspect, Snowrunner is going to engross you. It won’t win any Game of the Year awards for being niche, but then neither does Train Simulator. If you can convince some friends to join you, then even better. But even as a solo experience, there’s some absolute joy to be had when you get stuck into it.
Whether you tackle the harsh weather conditions with friends, or you brave it alone, SnowRunner will challenge your determination, patience, and strategic thinking. Fans of the climbing and slow-paced movement aspect of Death Stranding will most likely find pleasure in the purposefully clunky, realistic, and heavy controls and mechanics within this game as well. Although the one key aspect of the game is to go from A to B (via very stressful pathways), it’s a very therapeutic and relaxing game in which you become both mentally and physically more adept the longer you play. This isn’t your standard no-physics simulation game, this is about as realistic as you can get without having your living room covered in mud, water, and snow.
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.

com/games/spintires-mudrunner/review/" target="_blank">a second time</a> to do battle with the very earth itself.
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.
Simultaneously a big leap over the MudRunner titles and a compelling effort in its own right, SnowRunner's improved focus on the hard fought conflict between man, machine and nature results in a highly rewarding and satisfying driving simulator that is quite unlike anything else.
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!
Very good successor of Spintires and Mudrunner with new challenges.

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.

This deep off-road sim delights in giving you a hard time, but every victory is all the sweeter for it.
SnowRunner is a dirty game with spotless physics. A truck-sized open world, tiring, slow yet extremely adrenaline-fueled work simulation. Maybe sometimes too tiring, but capable of giving enormous satisfaction.

SnowRunner is an exciting game - despite it being so slow. It's a game for hardcore players with patience and endurance. Even the last mile can mean a stop to your journey. The game gives you a lot of freedom - three open worlds are yours to explore with many quest to fulfill. It's up to you which you tackle first, but you need to decide which upgrades or new vehicles are necessary to get first. SnowRunner has beautiful environments with a great atmosphere - there are some technical hiccups like small fonts and complex menus but it's overall an enjoyable experience for everyone who likes this kind of simulation.
