When you’re grinding a massive truck up at hill through a muddy bog where forward movement can be measured in tiny increments, every centimeter that you push forward feels like a small victory in itself. The joy of Spintires, such as it is, can pretty much be found in the struggle. Spintires does something fresh with vehicular agency and is all the better for it In short, you’ll not want for things to do in Spintires: MudRunner American Wilds. The additional DLC that is included in this release beefs up the value even more, as it brings 9 new trucks to the fore, and packs in two more challenge and sandbox maps on top of that.Įxtending the amount of things to do a good deal further is an unlock system which rewards players for dropping off logs and completing tasks that makes a wider selection of vehicles available to the player as a result, while a range of co-op modes allows players to help out one another to complete a range of different challenges in tandem. Actually muscling your vehicle through a super deep bog and powering out the other side is pretty darn satisfying, as it turns out.įrom hitching trailers to dropping off logs and even just carrying some luggage strapped to the roof of a car, the sheer amount of objectives and stuff to do in Spintires: MudRunner is extensive to say the least. Rather than just permitting players to freely roam in the various areas of the American rural sprawl as they like (though you can do just this and only this if you want with Spintires sandbox mode), developer Saber Interactive has fashioned a wide range of challenges and missions around Spintires unique handling model and environmental hazards. Luckily, Spintires provides an extensive tutorial that gets players used to the basics – such as releasing the parking brake (yes, this is a real thing that you’ll be doing a lot), dealing with advanced commands such as attaching a trailer, loading up cargo and, of course, driving through mud, rivers, and other such naturally occurring environmental hazards (but mostly the mud). However, initial impressions can be misleading because if you can push beyond that initial rush of “Oh my god why I am doing this?”, then Spintires soon reveals itself to be a thoroughly deep affair that rewards the amount of time that players put into it. The net result of this approach is that Spintires can feel sometimes akin to a chore, rather than a driving experience that you’ll want to absorb into every atom of your being. Grinding through the mud is one thing – having to do it whilst transporting a massive fuel tank is quite something else. Eschewing arcade-style handling, Spintires instead embraces a simulation type model that prizes advanced physics and measured driving skills over just about anything else.
