The games sounds good too (apart from the soundtrack), trucks chug along sounding like they’re really heaving themselves through the mud and up hills and the mud and water makes for some nice squishy sound effects.īut, I do have some issues well it’s more like two main issues.

But it does still manage to look pretty good in a lot of places, the vehicle models are all really well detailed and whilst everything is basically brown the terrain still holds a lot of detail the water effects and physics are fantastic, and the way mud builds up on vehicles looks really good. Spintires: Mudrunner is a very brown game with a bit of grey and green for variation, to be honest it has a pretty drab colour palette. You basically have 6 sandbox areas that you can play around in, each one with it’s own unique setting and feel, like the Deluge map which has a lot of water, not all of them are unlocked from the get go however – you’ll need progression points in order to unlock the other areas.Īlongside the single player ‘campaign’ there is also a challenge mode and multiplayer where you can team up with others to complete objectives and probably try and push each other off of cliffs if that’s your thing. Along your travels you’ll encounter day and night cycles, challenging terrains, varying weather conditions and realistic physics all with updated visuals to boot. You’re free to explore them as you see fit and you can unlock new vehicles by doing this, you can also set about completing objectives like delivering lorry loads of logs. Spintires: Mudrunner is the sequel/’ultimate’ version to Spintires and lets you drive 19 vehicles each with its own characteristics and attachments across various sand(mud)box environments. Thrashing various vehicles across muddy fields and up steep cliffs looked like was going to be an enjoyable time.

It popped up on my radar around its release a few weeks back and it looked like it could be pretty good fun. That’s what I did recently when I started playing Spintires: Mudrunner. Sometimes you want to take a break from shooting things in their faces, assassinating bad guys, and generally saving the world.
