SnowRunner Review

"An earnest, unapologetically tricky, and time-consuming trucking experience, SnowRunner's peculiar brand of off-road ordeals is oddly addictive, deep, and rewarding when played in the right spirit. It's not often we see an authentic, slow-paced delivery sim that doesn't baffle you with nonsense or try to upsell you a $2,000 jacket, but SnowRunner's no slouch."

I'm a truck driver in real life and then I play this in my bunk when I'm done driving for the day, somebody help me
Lot lizard? Lmao
Does this game feel accurate to the real deal?
must be driving you insane
@@blueredblack7026 I've actually played the European version (I forget the name, it's been years) and loved it.. Unfortunately I only played on console now so I can't play it anymore :(
Man dude! Be proud! You're doing what you love, I'm jelly 😩😩
This is definitely a listen-to-a-podcast-while-you-play sort of game
TomPlusStreetwear Omg thank you so much for the idea
or music
They all are
how about driving real trucks and listening to audiobook??? nothing is more calmer.
TomPlusStreetwear Sometimes I like those games.
I played for hours and it is oddly addictive and extremely enjoyable. The graphics are beautiful and the physics surreal. I feel like a kid again playing with my Tonka truck in my backyard mud pit.
And pretending to get stuck while you bring in a 2nd toy to role play as the rescue vehicle
shouldn't the physics be real, not surreal?
Right?!😩 i mean I don't really play sims but this man ohh this is gold👌🏾🥇😌downloaded early this morning and been playing whole day. Already did 8 hrs easy lol
@@piecemalone same here, its like a drug
Vincent Castor I used to play in a big dirt pit in the backyard with my friends. We used to get covered in dirt and mud oh my gosh the memories. I was such a tomboy growing up (I’m a girl). I’m just the exact opposite now tho 🤦♀️😂

That game engine. Damn. Some AAA games don't even get close.
True
Agree
Beautiful piece of code. ;)

This guy is the best at reviewing vehicle based games.
The best imo!
So true!
He’s also the same guy who reviewed Red Dead 2

Ah, the best game reviewer we meet again!
Yes. He is IGNs best.
Yep
Yup agrer
Luke is easily the best reviewer on this channel
...by far!
Thanks!
Why? Because you share his opinion?
Wow the second strand type game
Akshay it really makes you FEEL like a truck
It was first strand type game tho, it's third game in the series "Spintires".

@Craigishere 1 lmfaoooo
The original Mudrunner came out way before death stranding. So you could consider this the 3rd strand type game >_>
I'm surprised IGN missed the purpose of the unlocking upgrades by level system. Each map is supposed to upgrade in difficulty level as the player progresses. The upgrade system allows the player to match their vehicles abilities with the map difficulty without making it too easy. This also encourages the player to play each map in order as opposed to skipping around. Especially with the planned DLC coming out. The developers didn't want someone just starting out at level 2 and be able to go knock out Taymyr, let alone Kola Peninsula. If by chance you do try such a feat, the difficulty level will match what the player was hopefully expecting. I played the maps in order and reached level 30 (the max level) by the time I was completing Taymyr. Even at max level the DLC Kola Peninsula is rather difficult. Michigan would be way too easy at max level. Besides this, I do however agree with the rest of the points made in this video. Well done.
*Cheers*
Ive been tempted by free mods for top of the line vehicles but decided not to and just work for it...
Surprised Amazon hasn’t released a delivery version that helps train people how to remotely drive future trucks...
I’m oddly interested in this game. Problem is I know if I got it I’d play it for a few hours then put it to the side
Mister Negative try mudrunner first then. It’s on game pass if you have an Xbox
yeah, but Isn't it what we do when we watch a movie?
As long as it was awesome couple hours and the price is right - why not!
Mister Negative yup same here
I bought it on the ps store the day it came out it is so fun specially the co-op
It's a bit overpriced right now, but if you wanna check it out without dropping $50, try Mudrunner instead.
Considering how much I enjoyed Death Stranding, this looks right up my alley.
Damn.... I don't know what to say
Alon Mercer I caved in and bought Death Stranding. It was too boring to continue beyond an hour. I haven’t played it since.
Its much like DS, but in smaller, shorter treks/burst. Just as fun and rewarding.
@@GreekIrish In that case the previous games are too... Mudrunner and Spintires. (The tech demos too.)
@@michaelangel25 if you played only one hour then you didn't really play it at all.
As somebody who grew up on farm horse farm for 28+ yrs (now in my 40+s) and always dealing with mud in fields, using older tractors. Waight in snow runner doesn’t help. When In in real life it VERY much can help. Depending on the vehicle/ground conditions and where your trying get too. Many years we use weighted tires, putting more weights on 2 wheel tractors so get better traction’s. As said we had few tractors that were not 4x4 and had use what we could get job done. Didn’t matter if was Harold with disc, cutting grass in soggy ground or on slop or using blade move heavy snow in 2x4 old tractor. Using chains tires/ Weights and skill.
Can’t believe devs missed this. And body who grew up on farm or used farm tractors or equipment/trucks knows this. Load up big old trucks/tractors with more weight. It will help with traction, as long don't over do it and not on skinny tires and not bald tires.
Do love the game but yes it’s very frustrating and feels like need another month to cook/be tweak more. The trucks engine /sound and power is very weak. Feel very under power of a 50 hp engine vs closer too 200hp for most basic v6 or v8 engines . All trucks engines need about 10 to 20% performance boost imo. They all feel like law-morrow engine then v6 or v8.
I found it dose help on single axle trucks or with extreme weight
Funny how the best game engine in a while has come out for a game about a truck boi.
We’ve been playing on this engine since 2014
McBurgle technically over 75% was made using swarm (literally just came out and most AAA devs and games don’t use it yet) which enhances graphics while also using less PC hardware. without getting to geeky this is a PC gamer’s paradise
@@McBurgle nope, this is a new engine. The first game that used it was World War Z.
Its like Death Stranding without guns
... but with *trucks* 😏
This is the latest in the Strand type series of games!
*Delivering a cargo of babies*
@@peterGchaves Death Stranding has trucks
This game looks like fun, I hope they consider VR support! It would be so cool to negotiate that rough terrain from the viewpoint of the cockpit!

1,2,3,4!
IGN: "Snowrunner is punishing and sometimes merciless but rarely outright unfair"
Random rock in the middle of a road: "Watch and learn amateur"
I have to admit, didn't have great expectations from this.
Glad I was wrong.
This game is so much fun. Didn’t expect much when I first bought it about 6 months ago. I’ve been playing it Non stop ever since.
It's like death stranding without BTs and 40 hours of stupidly written cinematics and bad combat.
10/10
Well that is a competition to Death Stranding 🤔 Who would win, delivery guy simulator or delivery truck simulator
If it has boss battles and crazy intense combat then it might give death stranding a run for its money.
I would tame this over death stranding any day
@@RathalosEmperor i dont know about "crazy intense combat* and it prolly wont run that far considering the load on its back
death stranding is boring.
@@PunxTV123 So was your mom.
I remember seeing this advertised randomly before a video, normally I just skip ads but this one hooked me.
It looks so pretty, damn.
That was my main problem with mudrunner. This looks pretty cool too
Yeah it look awesome in 4k. They did a great job.
ACforlife 123 i actually like mudrunner’s aesthetic.
its like the car version of FS2020..
Best reviewer on the channel! Might pick this game up.
What will you do once you’ve picked it up?
@@nickwilliams6062 put it down
Haha really enjoyed spintires, then mudrunner and been playing this for about 4 hours and I'm hooked. I've rolled more than a few times. I'm a life time off roader and this is great when I've been told not to leave my home in our current situation.
It's tough at first don't give up. It's worth it.
This has been up there as my go-to game for the last 2 years.
Completed Michigan on XBOX and restarted and put 100+ hours on Steam now just playing through with friends and helping them out.
Most satisfying, rewarding and chill game 👌🏻
I love this game! it's made me angry, frustated, sometimes sad, sometimes feeling ill! but that feeling... of lugging a few crates of bricks through a mountain pass, knowing pure diaster is moments around the corner should I make the slightest wrong move is so rewarding once you get it to safety, I have no idea if "real life trucking" is AS punishing as this, I think every mission in this game would be a "bad day" for a typical truck driver, but great fun, takes many hours sometimes to get anywhere, I spent the first 5 hours working out how to do a couple of missions for example.
Never thought I’d even look at this game but admittedly, some of the gameplay looked interesting.
i had no interest till i watched a guy playing on youtube. now i've got it and i'm hooked. it's a great game to relax to while playing -and it's really fun when you can play with other people and coordinate getting jobs done.
The game is awesome! Addictive and therapeutic
Even though I'm quarantined with literally nothing to do it still blows my mind just how many hours it's going to take me just to finish Michigan lol.
Just started playing this game. And damn does it remind me of great games of the past. Such a rewarding game to play.
For once I actually agree with an ign review. Your criticism is spot on, yet the game is highly addictive and despite its frustrating menu and map navigation I’ll probably sink hundreds of hours into this.
I honestly kinda wanna just play this game to use the scout vehicles to go off-roading
This review was spot on! Great job!! I like the game, but it does have some frustrating problems as you mentioned! At least in spintires and muddrunner you start off with the right gear for the job and can have fun right away.
This is the “chilled” game I’ve been looking for!
It's so weird, seeing bunch of gaming nerds taking intrest in what was once a niche game franchise for truck enthusiasts. Lol it's cool to see tho
"If its all the same to you, I'll drive that tanker."
Can't wait to get this game..
As soon as it hits 10$ below
Don't trust a word he says, he plays inverted
Mirror your monitor and headphones to getthe real review.
......I play inverted. Ppl don’t trust me either.
Inverted for life! Thanks Goldeneye!
My buddy use to always say this and then proceed to ask why I play inverted. I really never knew why. I just knew I couldn't play it the regular way...
In my opinion I wish the developers put a option for a manual transmission in the game that would be sick!!!!
It makes you FEEL like a truck.
I dunno... if anything, the game makes me feel like the mud
Great video, as always!! Thank you for encouraging me daily to pursue my goals!! Keep up the great work :)
What a sneaky way of advertising your channel… 😪
@@linguaLatinae Makes me not check that channel out even more.
*Alright Gameranx, where's my 'Before You Buy?'*
Watching the hummer bumping around is oddly satisfying lol
This looks very frustrating, but also very rewarding when you get to your destination.
Mr Man 306 it’s not very frustrating it’s pretty fun even when you’re stuck
i guess it could be frustrating if all you want to do is run as fast as possible from point a to b. however, the big hook in this game is adding new parts to trucks and the strategy needed to conquer the enviroment - like, making sure to use the right truck and knowing how to look ahead for winch points.
My only gripe so far is the vehicles are extremely slow on plain paved roads. I understand the need to drive slow but on a main road in my pick up truck I'd expect my top end to be more than 15mph. Not to mention my truck is drifting at 15mph
I love this game, must play guys.
Is this one of those strand type games I’ve been hearing about?
Yeah strand type games are here to stay
They failed to mention, this is a 100 hour game lol!
I was looking for a driving simulator for those days you just are not up to adrenaline racing. This looks just perfect... Slow but with skill involved. Thanx for the great review
How my parents school bus got to school simulator
Just got it for sale 27.99 on eshop. Going to have a blast playing during shining diamond and arceus breaks.
I loved Death Stranding and also fairly enjoyed Euro Truck Simulator. Will I enjoy this? I already know the answer, it’s yes. The answer is yes and I’m going to get it. Thanks
(Death stranding: truck edition) I'll give it a try, this new stranded genre seems to be on the rise.
The spintires/mudrunner games have been out for over 6 years I believe. Maybe this style of game will get more popular since Death Stranding had a big studio and the mainstream gamers behind it. Im all for that!
@@DoWorkNP tech demo in 2012, I was there haha
@@airbornegr4815 same, i played the SpinTires demo
So Sam bridges is a truck driver now?
15 million subscribers and you blow out everyone's eardrums with terrible audio balance. thanks for the free tinnitus IGN
Love the Pantera pun to open the review 😂👌 Trucking Hostile! 🤘
Surprised that nobody in the comments has ever heard of or played Spintires or (Spintires) Mudrunner.
CurryKingWurst I’m surprised at how many people here don’t seem to care about off-roading. They’re just now discovering a niche that has had a thriving community for decades.
I only played the SpinTires demo with the heavy truck and small offroader at the start
You can make a game about anything these days. But the physics are crazy!
Spin Tires > Mud Runner > Snow Runner
Hey IGN...Luke Reilly should read all your reviews! He's great!
The gameplay of mudrunner on adrenaline and the graphics of RDR2. 10/10
Bought the game on pc... crashes on launch... basically tried all the fixes ppl said and still didnt work .. ended up getting a refund. I rly wanted to play
Whoever worked in that Peaches reference: Bravo. 🤘
Trucking Hostile. Noice Pantera reference there
No problems with the camera here 👌 also,what would be the point of having everything unlocked at the start? Makes you want to progress and actualy think about what tasks you can do and which ones you are too unequipped for. The only thing you could really say about the game is lack of hardcore mode (for now)
Game of the year.
😅
It's surprisingly fun
Decade you mean.
Of all time.
If TLOU2 never came out this year then definitely.
Had some fun but found it very frustrating there weren’t more garages on the map and the UI is not intuitive.
I never heard of this game nor do I plan on ever playing it but I'm gonna watch this review start to end.
You still don't wanna talk about the days gone review
I'm on ps4. Really liking the game so far other than the mentioned high speed handling, especially on small trucks. Also, the music is glitchy in the game. Some of it has certain parts, such as the guitar cutting in and out on occasion. Hopefully that will be patched quickly.
Does the game run smoothly? I heard the console versions run 30fps
@@wetnoodle3013 I dont know what the framerate runs at. I'm on PS4 Pro. But GTA V looks bad to me as far as fps. This doesn't. Or maybe it's because you don't tend to go very fast.
Mr. PieceOfSack from reddit, i know you’re here.
*you win this one*
This review is so accurate. All your cons are valid and are the big issues with the game and yet it’s still a solid game, if you like trucks or sims in general.
Hideo Kojima taking tips for Death Stranding 2
do you have to haul nitroglycerine??... love those classic films The Wages Of Fear and Sorcerer, the bridge scene in Sorcerer is just incredible.
Gotta love a game called snow runner that's 70% mud and no snow.
Is this the kind of game that would be better played with a steering wheel and pedal set up?
CaptainTalon448 not really. If you play with a controller or with a wheel you will still enjoy it
i absolutely loved MudRunner, i bought it the day it was released so i can’t wait to to get this with the season pass when they go on sale
I like how this guy reviews these games on console, that way I don’t feel left out for being a console player 😂
O
i'd have never considered buying a trucking simulator, but this seems oddly fun...
It really is. Besides this, the game is huge, 11 big maps and a lot of activities to do.
Time to grab some beer and hit the road. buschhhhhhhhhhhhhh
i will play this for sure always wanted to be truck driver
lmfao
Surely the sequel should be Drug Runner
So basically it’s a Modern Day “18 Wheeler: American Pro Trucker”. Damn, I miss my Dreamcast
This is what Death Stranding tried to capture (rewarding patience).

They actually did a parody of death stranding with the United We Drive trailer
Great trucking review, Luke!
This guy doesn’t know what he really is talking about the scouts do that because of the reaction of the tires and how slippery it can be 😱
As a Pantera fan I appreciated the title
As a truck driver I'm interested,But when it gets cheaper .
I did not expect a Peaches reference! Kudos!
I flipped the same exact truck and trailer on the same exact corner at 1:12 last night 😂
I might be going on an Australian outdoorsman sort of stereotype, but the reviewers voice gives this video more authenticity for me. Just sayin’.

I drive a truck for a living. How do i relax? I come home...and drive a truck.
The music references in this are trucking awesome 😎
