Early on, I could barely get around without sliding everywhere. It’s easy to get lost in the myriad settings and forget what to do. This first section is the game’s tutorial, and it behooves the player to play close attention to everything the game is showing you. SnowRunner has four large maps in each of its three environments to explore, with plenty to do in-between. There are watchtowers throughout the map, and like your average Ubisoft open world game, the player needs to visit a watchtower to unlock a portion of the map. Your first mission in the game is to find a watchtower, and then repair a bridge so that you can reach your garage.
The question for a video game, however, is: Does ultra realism equal a fun experience? I’ll answer that in a second. I’ve driven off-road in treacherous conditions, and SnowRunner does a decent job of recreating the experience of slowly progressing up a muddy hill, or splashing through water in the road. It gets better as you drive more, and realize that you need to make use of 4-wheel-drive capabilities and the winch to get out of tricky, muddy situations. The handling in SnowRunner immediately feels foreign and unresponsive. I love racing games, and really driving around in just about any game.
The second thing I noticed was just how difficult it is to get a handle on controlling the trucks. The scenery is gorgeous, whether you’re in the Michigan autumn or in the snowy Alaska. The first thing I noticed - playing on an Xbox One X - is just how visually impressive the game looks.
#Snowrunner review upgrade#
By accepting contracts, you’re able to improve the infrastructure around you and upgrade your fleet of available trucks.
As you start the game, the areas are in disrepair, with broken bridges, waterlogged roads and more. In SnowRunner, you traverse the environment in a large truck, hauling equipment and supplies across dangerous terrain to complete jobs. I’ve never played a game quite like SnowRunner, a follow-up to the cult hit MudRunner and part of the overall SpinTires series, from developers Saber Interactive and Focus Home Interactive.
