There is one huge flaw in Snowrunner‘s gameplay, however, and that’s the camera. Getting stuck in the mud feels how it would in real life and it would be a complete nightmare if it wasn’t for the unlimited supply of tow cables.
Can’t say I’m a big fan of those.ĭriving these humongous pieces of dated junk is still very realistic and the way the game handles its physics is quite impressive. There is also the addition of icy roads, because of course. Snowrunner, like its predecessor, is more of a puzzle game than anything else. That’s when you have to start using low gears, AWD steering, and the cream of the crop in the whole franchise, using trees and nearby lamp posts in conjunction with a tow cable. The addition of even more natural hazards to make your driving plans more convoluted might sound like a nuisance, but in a game like this, you’ll actually rejoice when you get stuck. The main differences between Snowrunner and Mudrunner is the size of the open world maps you can get lost in, and most importantly, the sub-zero shenanigans provided by driving around in Alaska and Russia. This is definitely not an off-road vehicle.

Plus there’s a truck to carry your stuff around instead of a poor man’s spine. It’s a bit like Death Stranding when you think about it, but without the ghosts, overblown production values, and immeasurable hubris. Sure, you need to deliver your goods before you run out of fuel (unless you stop and refill your tank for free), but this game is more about being able to reach your destination after getting stuck in ten million piles of mixed mud and snow. This is not a game about reaching a spot as fast as possible.

However, instead of your typical highway simulator in which all you do is drive at 55 mph down an interstate road, you’re tasked with driving through muddy and uneven terrain. In Snowrunner, just like in its predecessors, your objective to be a bonafide trucker and provide essential deliveries to construction sites, fuel stations, and many other places. Once you complete a couple of simple delivery missions in Michigan, the game opens up and allows you to travel to Alaska and Russia. At first, the game doesn’t look that different from what you’ve seen three years prior, as you start off in a re-creation of rural Michigan during fall, with plenty of slopes and muddy trails for you to tackle. This is essentially a larger, more open and more challenging version of Mudrunner, throwing the everlasting nuisance that is driving in snow into the franchise’s already challenging off-road simulation gameplay. Yes, this is Snowrunner, not Assassin’s Creed. You can use these watchtowers to scout the terrain around you and fill up your map quickly.
