It’s made for the highway, so it doesn’t have all-wheel drive or anything to deal with such terrain. I didn’t get 20 feet before the truck stopped moving. And while that probably would save me time in the end, I instead drove the GMC into the mud. Getting the other truck means driving it across the map to pick up the food supplies again and abandoning all the progress I’ve already made. I faced a choice: I could go get the other truck, or I could take my chances. I knew it was a mistake when I drove the GMC truck up to what were once some dirt roads … but were now a series of small ponds. So when I ended up taking on a mission that was right near my highway rig, I decided to use that to complete the quest. And getting anywhere in SnowRunner is a challenge. Now, at any time I can recall any one of these trucks to my garage, but that means if you have an objective on the other side of the map, you’re going to have to drive all that way. I had a couple of light scout vehicles, but I also found a large rig built for the highway and one better suited for off-road work that’s about the same size. Soon after starting, I had built up a small garage of trucks. And that’s exactly what I want from SnowRunner. But once again, the core of the game is about using a stable of big rigs to move resources across muddy and snowy lands. You have more complicated missions, bonus quests, and even a hint of a story. While MudRunner had a loose premise that boiled down to take this lumber from point A to point B and unlock more of the map along the way, SnowRunner tightens that up. Like its predecessor, the game is about navigating over unreliable terrain with the kinds of trucks that all toddlers are wild about. SnowRunner launches April 28 for PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One for $50. And that’s exactly what MudRunner, and now its sequel SnowRunner, provides. I want a game that requires ingenuity and perseverance to barely move 50 feet. But after playing Spintires (now known as MudRunner), I realized I have a lot more fun in games where I struggle to move a vehicle at all. Or, at least, that’s what I always thought. Video games exist so we can experience driving expensive cars at dangerous speeds. Connect with top gaming leaders in Los Angeles at GamesBeat Summit 2023 this May 22-23.
