Snowrunner vs expeditions. Which to buy?

[Littlefatcat]

I'm looking at getting one but not sure which would be worthwhile after seeing the mixed review for Expeditions.

If youre into big rigs fighting through snow and mud snowrunner is it.
If you´re more into rockclimbing / crawling stuff expeditions may fit better.
and for snowrunner, even without DLC you can have many hours of fun :D so its up for sale atm. can´t do anything wrong for this price.

Or buy the original Mudrunner for 5$ and get yourself some proper physics for cheaper.

Snowrunner. It's much better and has much more content today.

Despite owning a capable 4x4 body on frame IRL i am not attracted to "scout" off roading within or outside Snowrunner and not interested in trying that game, despite it will probably have qualities that are enjoyable.

In the military i learned trucks are just that much more capable off road vehicles. The size of the wheels ( and their profile surface of the tires ) matters more then any other factors that come after that such as ground clearance and engine power, differential locks and AWD.

Unless you want to hang vehicles on ropes off cliffs.....that kind of probably possible IRL, but still highly uncommon acrobatics is not really for me. Hanging scouts on a crane for rescue missions down cliffs in Snowrunner is enough hanging for me :-))

Snowrunner! Expeditions is just okay. I got bored quite quickly. I regret buying the highest edition, because I really don't even desire turning the game on most days. I'd rather play Snowrunner.

As others have said though, Expeditions doesn't involve trailers and is exploration oriented with basically no roads/trails. Snowrunner on the other hand is all about hauling cargo from point A to point B with some scouting involved as well.

The one thing I do like about Expeditions is it does seem to play a bit quicker. Snowrunner can be a real drag at times, but because of that it is very rewarding. Expeditions may be the same way though as you progress further into the game.

The current sale price of Snowrunner simplifies the choice IMO
I will also get Expeditions at some point, but I have many, many hours to go in Snowrunner first...

Mudrunner

snowrunner is the best one out so far

Snowrunner. Over 1,000 hours in it.

Thanks everyone I got Snowrunner on sale with some dlc and wow I love it. I might get expeditions at some point when the issues people brought up in reviews are fleshed out.

its not so much about the issues bringing the reviews down in expeditions its the more restrictive gameplay style bringing it down and extra setup for missions bringing it down and ya cant have multiple vehicles around at the same time like you can in snowrunner

The multiple vehicle being taken away sounds disappointing. Isn't most of the gameplay loop using multiple vehicles for support? Maybe they will add free dlc to add some snow runner features that were taken away.

I decked out my scout trucks to basically serve as mountain rescue vehicles for my larger trucks.
