They release tons of DLCs, instead of focusing on bugs... Game has been on the market for 3 years and still has severe bugs, some examples - you can drive on a perfectly flat pavement, and suddenly get car damage out of nowhere, or you are deeply stuck in the mud, no way to get out, yet after switching car (i.e. reloading to different map) and then switching again to the car that is stuck in mud, and suddenly that car can get out of mud no issues. There are many more such basic and very frustrating issues, them releasing tons of DLCs without addressing these bugs only proves they only care about cash inflow nothing more.

great premise ruined by pay to win and just tedious missions. Shouldn't cost $83 to unlock the full game.

This negative review was meant to be criticism on game's overall physic engine and Immersion.

This game is to target audience that enjoys scenery, variety trucks, deliveries and more.
However to those unfortunately soul, myself included used to play Spintires and Mudrunner expects more than just visual had left in rather bitter taste.

"Simulation" is an misleading impression when it comes to physics wise, it has been built from ground up that came in favor both different engine and console's platform which resulted an downgraded compare to Mudrunner.
Vehicles in game doesn't behaves like how in real life, it would resulted in numerous driver's neck injuries and multiple mechanical failures after riding truck like an bouncy house.
There need to be some sort of weight and fix those weird suspension to tone down the bounciness.

The transmission is lackluster due to how it used, automatic is unpleasant to use offroad for very poor consistency.
As it cannot detect what up ahead of it such as uneven road, tight corner, mud, and more. Automatic in that script sense is designed to expect no disruption on road but straight line.
The absent of Manual Transmission is disappointed as Player unable to control the speed depending on the road they drive on. The best option is to use High Speed or spam automatic to cheat the power curved up to speed which is very arcade feel.

Steering Wheel and Shift Controller can allow it depending on support but for those Console Controller and Keyboard User is limited.

High and Low Speed should not interfere Automatic/Manual Gearbox as they were designed to Control Overall Speed of Transmission for Torque vs Fuel Mileage.
Both High and Low Speed comes in Transfer case behind Main Transmission. Here's an Example for 5-speed Transmission;
Engine > Transmission > Transfer case > Axle

[1 Gear - Low Gear] Is the lowest speed but highest Torque allowing the vehicle to climb at extreme inclement, rough road, heavy towing at cost of poor fuel mileage.
[5 Gear - Low Gear] Should be same speed as [1 Gear - High Gear] once it reach top speed that Low Gear can allow.

[1 Gear - High Gear] High Gear is Standard Gearbox use in Highway or Ideal Road condition allowing for truck to start move from standstill.
[5 Gear - High Gear] Allows truck to move at top speed while keeping fuel consumption low for better fuel mileage but at cost of low Torque.


The sound physic in this game is downgrade, as engine's audio only speed up as RPM increase. No under load or turbo whistle is disappointed, no transmission groan, no suspension squeak, no frame/cabin twist, nothing as if truck has no soul.
Environment interaction as twigs break, bush rustle, mud mushed, sapling fall, and more is lacking.

I expected that the Snowrunner may soon address these problem but with release of Season after Seasons and "new" game called Expeditions: A Mudrunner Game, the expectation of the Snowrunner's Future seems dull for Physic Engine.
