MudRunner Reviews

Great to relax and kill time before bed. the graphics are insane, very immersive and enjoyable game.

Better than Snowrunner in some aspects including the physics. W game

At first I wasn't sure about this. But then I kinda learned what I was doing and played it with a friend and I had a good time. But if it wasn't on sale I probably would have refunded it

quite fun if you have patience, sort of a rage game but if you flip you can pick up with your other trucks 7.8/10

Excellent game, It's only getting better with the time.

Chill Drives, Minimal Challenge The game offers a relaxed driving experience through tundra and muddy terrains, but lacks meaningful challenges. The starter truck is surprisingly overpowered, capable of handling every obstacle with ease, making upgrades and other vehicles feel unnecessary. The driving mechanics lean toward simplicity—just throw it into low gear, enable diff and all-wheel drive, and slowboat through anything without a winch. Even manual throttle management seems pointless when the starter truck plows through everything, fully loaded, without breaking a sweat. While the vehicle selection offers a nostalgic Soviet aesthetic, the lack of information on specs like horsepower or other stats leaves you choosing trucks purely based on appearance. On the bright side, the map integrates smoothly with wheel controls, unlike certain other games like Snowrunner.

MudRunner is a brilliantly crafted off-road simulator that refines everything Spintires introduced, delivering a deeper, more immersive experience. With enhanced physics, tighter controls, and stunning environmental detail. The sense of isolation, the weight of each vehicle, and the challenge of navigating through thick mud, rivers, and rugged terrain create an experience that's both meditative and demanding. What makes MudRunner stand out is its minimalism—no flashy UI or hand-holding. You rely on your map, your instincts, and your understanding of the terrain. Every journey feels like an expedition, and every delivery is a hard-earned victory. It's slow, it's dirty, and it’s absolutely captivating. Its successor, SnowRunner, takes everything MudRunner did right and cranks it up. With massive maps, deeper vehicle customization, dynamic snow and ice physics, and a broader variety of missions and terrain, SnowRunner is a worthy evolution. Still, MudRunner retains a raw, grounded charm that makes it a must-play for fans of off-road realism. TLDR: Its successor, SnowRunner, expands the experience with larger maps, snow and ice mechanics, and more content—but MudRunner still stands strong as a must-play for fans of slow, strategic driving sims.

[■■■■□] [Gameplay] 🕹️ First of all, this game is a simulation where your goal is to transport your load to a specific location without getting stuck in the mud. Before that, you can explore the map to unlock hidden vehicles and garages located at key points. This makes the game easier. The game really requires a lot of patience. Find the right vehicle, and use the Q and E keys for better movement. The V key is used for the winch, and you can use it if you get stuck. The game offers two difficulty options: Normal and Hardcore. In the Hardcore mode, you have to find the logs yourself and load them onto the truck using another vehicle. Honestly, it’s a great challenge for those who enjoy difficulty. Casual players, on the other hand, might prefer the normal game mode. [■■■□□] [Graphics] 🖼️ The graphics are somewhat outdated considering the game's release date. I also didn't like the coloring method used in the game. However, the forests, streams, and mountains are well-designed. The day and night cycles look good in the game, and the damage taken by vehicles is detailed. Overall, apart from a few things, I can say the graphics are fine for a simulation game. [■■□□□] [Audio]👂 The vehicle sounds in the game are average, not very good. The music is more similar to those in other truck games, giving me an American vibe. I didn't like the in-game music and turned it off. As for the in-game sounds, you shouldn't expect too much from them. [■□□□□] [Storytelling] ✒️ The game is made up of levels (maps), so it doesn't have a story. You are a truck driver, and your goal is to pick up loads and deliver them to designated locations. While doing this, you need to overcome certain challenges, but there is no storyline in the game. [■■■■□] [Difficulty] 💪 Simulation games are usually difficult, and this is one of the challenging ones. The game has 'Normal' and 'Hardcore' modes, and trying the Hardcore mode on your first attempt might be overwhelming. Use the Q and E keys on non-paved roads. If your vehicle gets stuck in the mud, use the winch (V). If the in-game vehicles don't satisfy you, you can try tons of vehicle mods available.
