The controls are odd to someone whose been driving fast virtual machines his whole life. I got a lot of that up on my screen during the 12 hours or so that I put into it. Overall, I was looking forward to driving anything but the Chevrolet CK1500 that you start with, but then I found it to be my most useful piece for exploring early on in the campaign. Sometimes though, it’s anything but calming when you’re trying to get whatever vehicle you’re driving unstuck, or up a mountain, or over a cliff without falling down hundreds of feet. Nature is beautiful, real and virtual, and at times it felt over realistic, which is not necessarily a bad point. From the start, I got this vibe that this would be a game that I would play to unwind. Starting with the background music, it’s like I’m listening to some knockoff Pink Floyd at the beginning of “Wish You Were Here,” just waiting for it to get into the lyric part, but it never does. It’s chill, and I do mean that in any possible pun intended. After finally getting to spend about 12 hours playing it over the last few days, I think it’s safe to say that my perspective may have changed. I won’t go into the specifics, but let’s just say that I had a sour perspective with it before I even got to try out this terrain simulator. Right off the bat, this game fought with me tooth and nail to even play it. The question is, why are there no snow plows in this game?

It’s unlike anything I’ve ever played before, good and bad, but I think it might end up being one of my favorite games down the road if I stick with it.

It’s a simulator of a different nature, a terrain simulator thanks to some funky mud, gravel, ice and snow physics models. With all of that said, this game rocks, rolls and is a great way to keep occupied for hours on end.

I do not fall in love with an 18-wheeler at first glance, but I do appreciate the work that those real drivers do around the entire world to keep things moving along.

I’ve been reporting on this game ever since I started working full time over here and let me just start off by saying that I am not a truck guy. Weird for a site like Traxion to be covering it so heavily, but just hear me out. However, SnowRunner isn’t a racing game, isn’t a race car simulator and there’s really no sort of motorsport involved. Plus, Saber Interactive announced a second year filled with future content, so there’s more on the way down the road. Year 1 ended with the release of the game on Steam and Nintendo Switch, Season 4 DLC came out with all-new activities, and new game modes and content were unlocked. The launcher doesn't affect in any way your experience with the game.So, we’ve had some news on SnowRunner lately. This has nothing to do with the game, just grow up and accept that there can be multiple launchers on the market. They said they will update/fix this as soon as possible. For the guy that gave a 0 because of wheels support: they said they delayed testing of wheels because of COVID-19 and work for home so that's why it does not fully support wheels (some are working) and doesn't have force feedback on them at the moment. I'm playing with a gamepad, the controls are not hard to get used to and are pretty well done. The map is very big and there will still be some new maps coming in the next months. I would recommend this to everyone who like games like Euro Truck Simulator, but offroad. There are multiple upgrades that you can put on your truck, upgrades that affect a lot the gameplay and the way your truck acts in the wild. Interiors are looking nice, very good and detailed design. There is a lot of content, you will have many many tens of hours to spend in this game. It's so fun to drive in such harsh conditions, in mud and snow, it's pretty challenging even without a hard mode that some people requested. The physics are some of the best I saw in a game, probably the best for a racing game on the market right now. It really looks like a AAA game, no over-exaggeration in here. Graphics are way better than I expected on PC.
