It is remarkable what a victory it can feel to finally push the front wheels of a huge truck over a hump, and have them find traction on solid ground, releasing you from what felt like an impossible struggle with an unforgiving mire. It turns out that progress in a driving game doesn’t have to be fused to speed. The core gameplay in Spintires: Mudrunner, though, is surprisingly relaxing, rewarding and pleasurable. After all, out here in reality, there are few things as frustrating as getting a vehicle stuck in mud, burning your clutch out as spinning tires greedily carve an increasingly deep groove in the ground below them, asserting their commitment to staying put with spiraling devotion. Most of the time driving will be spent inching forward, while you focus on how you might overcome a rocky protrusion that has one front wheel hooked up and an array of back wheels stuck wildly spinning as they nearly disappear beneath a pool of mud. Simply put, getting to a mill will take crossing some extremely bumpy, gloopy terrain through vast rural sandboxes. But in Spintires: MudRunner, it really is about the journey more than the destination. The game is built around the rather pedestrian task of picking up logs and driving them to lumber mills. But Saber’s creation is going to demand you do a lot more than accelerate and brake to make progress.
There’s none of the fastidious realism of the likes of Train Sim World, where you had to familiarise yourself with all kinds of jargon and memorise elaborate switch sequences simply to move forward. Spintires: MudRunner presents itself as a simulator, but in terms of vehicle handling and interaction it certainly has some arcade leanings. This is Spintires revisited, meaning you get the gameplay that has always defined the series.

Existing Spintires: MudRunner players can, of course, simply upgrade their version by grabbing the American Wild expansion in isolation.
#PS4 MUDRUNNER PC#
Last year’s version was itself a hybrid sequel-remake of the cult 2014 PC hit Spintires.
#PS4 MUDRUNNER PLUS#
That means you get the 2017 Spintires: MudRunner, plus all the DLC released to date, as well as the sizable new American Wilds expansion. There’s even a case to argue that as much as it is a driving game, Spintires is also a strategy title with puzzle elements that just happens to be played using gigantic trucks.īut before we get around to all that, a clarification: this review is for the American Wild’s Edition of Spintires: MudRunner.

Instead, it’s a series staunchly devoted to traversing very unfriendly terrain, very slowly indeed, through deep mud. That’s because Saber Interactive’s beguilingly atypical automotive game isn’t concerned with how quickly tarmac is passing under the wheels of its vehicles. In the world of Spintires, though, quarter-of-an-hour might just offer you a window in which to cover a couple of 100 meters of forward movement. Maybe a handful of laps of a classic racing circuit, or a chance to travel between distant checkpoints on a vast open-world map, stopping off to do a side quest on the way? In a conventional driving game, sure. That should be plenty of time to make progress in a driving game.
