Is SnowRunner the ultimate in off-roading fun? Read on to find out.

For those that love cars but aren’t necessarily into racing, it’s fairly slim pickings on the video game front. Gran Turismo, Forza Motorsport, iRacing – the clue is in the name – they’re all about driving as quickly as humanly possible. And a great job they do of it, too. But they’re not for everyone.

For example, unlike in MudRunner, each surface has varying ‘viscosity’ – higher viscosity makes the ground harder to pass and is indicated by darker ground. Pick the wrong route and end up in a ‘hidden extrusion’ and you could find yourself hideously stuck or – worse – the wrong way up. And trust me, when you’re on the other side of the map from the garage with no other vehicles nearby, this is incredibly frustrating.It’s important, then, to pick the right tools for the job.

Each vehicle has an appreciably different feel with various strengths and weaknesses, yet you’ll likely find yourself finding a core selection of trucks and shipping them around various maps to carry out missions. And talking of maps, the scale and variety on offer is deeply impressive.Again, hopping into the game for the first time I was aware of three locations – Michigan, Alaska and Taymyr, Russia. However, what I didn’t initially realise was that there’s multiple maps per location.

This season in particular feels a nice step-change away from the unforgiving lands of previous maps, allowing players to explore more friendly surroundings while growing and harvesting crops as a way to make money. In short, it’s a prime example of how much the Snowrunner universe has to offer by expanding on various sub themes related to off-road trucking.
