The game takes place in a rain forest where dirt roads tend to have muddy patches and even places like meadows can be a safe shortcut or turn into a bog where you become stuck with no anchor-point for your wench to reach thus requiring you to bring over another vehicle to tow it out. You cannot spawn vehicles back to the garage so pulling stuck vehicles from the mud will become necessary.

The loader is a bit finicky and requires a bit of trial and error to become proficient at using it. You must manually load logs onto the truck which will require you to preposition a loader. The differential can only be used in low gear and will damage the truck if kept on while on firm surfaces. Fuel is consumed at a higher rate making it necessary to preposition assets such as fuel. This is where the game really shines as a work and physics sim. Speaking of the garage, some need to be unlocked to use by hauling garage parts to the garage which can be a real chore in and of itself. In this mode fuel is consumed slower, you do not need to babysit the differential, you can auto load logs onto your truck and if need be you can spawn your vehicle to the nearest garage. If you want to successfully accomplish this you will need to scout out best paths with a light vehicle, move assets such as fuel and loaders into place, then move the logs from point A to point B. In Mudrunner you play as a logger where your job is to move logs from point A to point B but that is easier said than done.

I will say however that if you would like to try something different then I fully recommend that you give this game a try because it definitely has a unique feel to it and the most important thing is that it nails the mechanics, and for that reason it gets a thumbs up from me. At the end of the day Spintires: Mudrunner is a game that can definitely be called niche, and without a doubt it won’t appeal to all gamers. Visually the game is dull and doesn’t look great at times, and the accompanying sound design does nothing to make the game stand out and often doesn’t sound realistic enough. The presentation side of the game is something that I was a little disappointed with. The camera in the game is probably the worst I’ve ever seen and it caused me a great deal of frustration because to call it awkward would be a massive understatement. The main problems I had with the game came from the terrible camera. I will say however that the game doesn’t get tedious much when played online, and thankfully the online has quite a few player’s playing and I didn’t suffer with many problems. If you like a game that is packed with content then you will love this game, but I must warn you that it’s best played in short bursts because it does become tedious if played for long periods and that’s mainly down to the extremely slow driving. The puzzles in the game are something that really impressed me, and the main reason they impressed me so much is because they are interesting and you have to complete them in an interesting and unique way. The physics which are important in a game like this have been done very well, and I appreciated the realistic approach they implemented in the game. When I first started the game it was like nothing I’d ever played before and I must admit that I quite enjoyed it.
