The particle effects are also handled quite nicely and show mud clinging and sticking to tires or a good solid splash when trudging through water. Even the vehicles in the game are afraid of colours, being presented as already having been around the muddy block a few times, with bland paint jobs and grime and muck caked all over their weathered bodies.ĭespite the gritty, realistic look the developers went for, you have to commend their efforts at presenting off-roading at its dirtiest. From the word go, the main menu features a drained and weary colour palette, and once you’re dropped into the tutorial you’re greeted by wet muddy roads and grey overcast skies. Saber Interactive definitely made good on their "Mudrunner" moniker, because this game gets down and dirty really quickly. Once you complete the tutorial, it’s up to you where you decide to go next! It’s a nice addition that a lot of other simulators like to hide behind their other main modes, but it feels right for games such as this to provide that much-needed helping hand so newcomers aren’t completely lost. Right upon loading the game for the first time, the tutorial provides a nice, simple introduction to the basic mechanics and allows you to become somewhat accustomed to how the numerous vehicles feel and control.
This game is all about dropping you into a muddy world and letting you do whatever you want.
Like many other simulation games on the market, there isn’t much in the way of setting and story in Mudrunner. Despite the gritty, realistic look the developers went for, you have to commend their efforts at presenting off-roading at its dirtiest. With the recent release of the game’s American Wilds DLC, let’s grab the wheel and take a look at what the complete package brings to the table. Spintires: Mudrunner is an off-road driving simulation game developed by Saber Interactive and published by Focus Home Interactive and originally released in 2017. Simulation games can now be found around every corner, and cover everything from farming and slapstick goating to firefighting, and in the case of this review, driving big trucks.
Thanks to the dawn of indie developers and programs such as Steam Greenlight, more and more unique titles have started to pop up. Back in the early days of gaming, simulations were few and far between, and while they were great (The Sims, anyone?), there wasn’t too much variety between them. I always find it crazy to think how far simulation games have come over the last few years.
