    Snowrunner is what happens when an immovable object meets an irresistible force. As long as the irresistible force has a winch, the immovable object will lose.

    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.

    While playing, I am reminded of the feelings I got from Minecraft, Euro Truck Simulator, Portal, and SimCity 2000. Simultaneously relaxing, infuriating, perplexing, and rewarding, SnowRunner is on my shortlist for game of the year. If I could show this to my six-year-old self, he would give birth to a litter of puppies on the spot due to sheer excitement. If you need a path cleared, a load hauled, or a vehicle rescued, I am the man you call. 9/10 38-inch Super Swamper TSLs

    The start of Snowrunner is demanding, and can put off the mere curious. However, for the more adventurous and regulars, this new installment of the Spintires series is a success.

    Snowrunner is really one of the most suprising games I’ve played in a long time. It offers a unique atmosphere, a great world to explore and a very satisfying gameplay loop. What you need to be able to enjoy it is patience, though, for it is a slow endeavour and sometimes tough as nails.

    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.

    This very unique Offroad-Simulation draws its fascination from the beautifully designed, but lifeless world and its outstanding physics simulation. Patience is a must-have, though.

    Incredible detail, lots of content, excellent physics and beautiful graphics. High replayability and that all for a small price compared toIncredible detail, lots of content, excellent physics and beautiful graphics. High replayability and that all for a small price compared to most titles. The maps are designed to perfection for you to explore and do tasks in, and the range of trucks and pickups is quite impressive with the added customizability. The bugs mentioned by other players have been addressed, and 200 hours in, I have come across one or two minor bugs only. By far my favourite game of 2020.

    I should add to my review that this game really allows for you to get a sense of achievement. In a time where it is sometimes difficult to make real progress or an impact on our environment or surroundings, Snowrunner has been a great game for me to enjoy and to work towards a goal. You get stuck in the mud, tip over your truck or run out of fuel, but you will try again, and you will succeed. It's very satisfying, and the journey with your truck through the wilderniss just adds to it all. Highly recommend the game to anyone who has patience, perseverence and wants to really get the most out of a game that rewards you in the end.    … Expand

Looks great at 4k on my bigscreen, always enjoy turning this one on after work and rolling over a truck or getting stuck trying to take a shortcut. Love the Pacific trucks especially, as well as the 3 different CAT machines although being very specific are a fun to drive around. So many maps as well so plenty of variety if you happen to get bored of the scenery, I have all of the DLC and can't get enough. I have yet to try Hardmode but look forward to it when I do.… Expand

    The game is great. Graphics are way better than I expected on PC. It really looks like a AAA game, no over-exaggeration in here. The physicsThe game is great. Graphics are way better than I expected on PC. It really looks like a AAA game, no over-exaggeration in here. 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'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. There is a lot of content, you will have many many tens of hours to spend in this game. Interiors are looking nice, very good and detailed design. 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. I would recommend this to everyone who like games like Euro Truck Simulator, but offroad. The map is very big and there will still be some new maps coming in the next months. I'm playing with a gamepad, the controls are not hard to get used to and are pretty well done.

    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. They said they will update/fix this as soon as possible.

    For the guy with Epic Games: no comment. This has nothing to do with the game, just grow up and accept that there can be multiple launchers on the market. The launcher doesn't affect in any way your experience with the game.    … Expand

    Snowrunner ist der Nachfolger von Mudrunner. Das Spiel hat eine deutlich farbenfrohere Spielwelt, Mudrunner war da eher gräulich. Die MapsSnowrunner ist der Nachfolger von Mudrunner. Das Spiel hat eine deutlich farbenfrohere Spielwelt, Mudrunner war da eher gräulich. Die Maps sind hübsch und glaubhaft gestaltet, auch wenn sie sehr leer wirken, vor allem die Dörfer und Städte sind ausgestorben.
    Es ist viel übersichtlicher als Mudrunner, auch Neueinsteiger sollten sich gut zurecht finden.
    Die Physik ist bei den Trucks wirklich gelungen, nur bei den kleineren Fahrzeugen eher mittelmäßig.
    Leider ist das gesamte Spiel dermaßen verbuggt, vor allem auf Konsole. Aufträge, welche manchmal eine Stunde dauern und dann wegen eines Bugs nicht beendet werden können oder das Fahrzeuge, Anhänger oder die Ladung sehr oft festbuggt ist sehr demotivierend. Der Co-op Modus ist auch verbuggt. Zur Zeit macht es so einfach keinen Spaß zu spielen.    … Expand
