At the onset of each map, only a small portion will be revealed, with additional sections opened up as you locate “watch points”. You start out with two of the six maps unlocked. When you are ready, it’s time to move onto the open world maps. None of these challenges will reward you with anything other than satisfying the inner completionism in all of us, but they do give a chance to improve your skill with the basic equipment before jumping off into the open world. Each challenge has three additional bonus conditions to meet (don’t use AWD, time limits, etc.) if you so choose. Each challenge, 9 in all, will have you using the chosen vehicle to complete tasks such as repairing and refueling a vehicle or delivering supplies. Lastly, the tutorial introduces you to the main “goal” of the game: collect and deliver logs to the lumber mill to earn unlock progression points.Īfter finishing the tutorial (or skipping it if you are a veteran of the original Spintires game), you can jump right into the single or multiplayer game, or attack the challenge levels to learn even more about the available vehicle functions. It also introduces you to the garage, where you can outfit your trucks with accessories such as fuel carriers, log carriers, trailers, and all sorts of other equipment.

You will learn how to control the camera (ugh, good luck), engage the differential lock and all-wheel drive (on vehicles so equipped), and utilize the winch to help pull you out of sticky situations. Overall, the graphics quality is a mixed bag, but as long as the gameplay is strong, then average, if not a little outdated, graphics is acceptable.You will start off by running through a quick tutorial that teaches you the basics of the game. The color palette is a lot of muted greens and browns, but given the environment, you are in, that is acceptable. There is plenty of detail in the building textures, and there are plenty of background objects to make the world feel lived in. As stated above, the interior cab models are horrendous, but the exterior vehicle models are well done. Unlike the camera issues, the graphics are acceptable. Over time I have become more adept with the camera, but with so many other driving games getting it “right,” it is a major detractor. While this type of camera should give good situational awareness, without any preset positions it feels very clumsy and is oftentimes difficult to move it into a good position. Instead, you are given a free-floating360-degree camera with a limited zoom and vertical range. Many racing games give you several camera points (above car, hood, tire cam, etc.), but those options are not available. None of the internal or external mirrors function, making it impossible to see behind the cab. There is a generic instrument panel that is pasted on the dashboard, most times not sized or located within the space you would expect to see the gauges. While the vehicle models are well done, the interior of most vehicles is minimalistic. The cab view is my go-to option for most driving games, but in this case, it was underwhelming. While driving, there is the typical cab view along with an external camera option. While unwieldy at first, I ended up using a blend of controller and mouse/keyboard, as each option was better suited for certain tasks. Mouse and keyboard steering was acceptable, but driving with the controller was much more intuitive (I did not try a wheel/pedal combo).

On PC you can play with mouse and keyboard, plus there is controller and steering wheel/pedal support. All the vehicles have their own unique handling characteristics and their size and weight impact how they react to the varied terrain. It has a much slower pace than most driving games but doesn’t come off as boring due to the focus needed to traverse the hazards. Spintires: MudRunner offers gamers a more realistic all-terrain experience. Most driving games that have an off-road component are on defined courses (Rally or Baja racing) or have an arcade/action style to them (Forza Horizons). So let’s dig in and sling some mud! This is our Spintires: MudRunner review. Developer Saber Interactive has upgraded the original Spintires with new graphics, new maps, and more all-terrain vehicles. For those wanting a little more grit and grime, there are plenty of rally car or motocross games to sample, but if you are looking for something that would challenge even the largest 4X4, then Spintires: MudRunner is the place to look. You fly around the course, trying to avoid disaster, hoping all the practice time put in will land you at the top of the podium. The cars are beautiful and the racing is intense. When it comes to driving games, most people think of something along the lines of Forza or Gran Turismo.
