One path as a hardcore no-nonsense logging simulator. Mudrunner’s appeal is that it can be played in various ways. They are still vast and sprawling, with plenty of square miles of untamed wilderness to explore. Given that the US probably has more road infrastructure than the depths of the Urals is not beyond the realms of reality. This isn’t a deal breaker but limits the scope of environments to some degree. There’s a lot more standard tarmac than found in the Siberian based maps. This has meant that both maps share much of the same design DNA. The creation of the two new areas to explore has been tempered with the knowledge that the new big rigs have no offroad capabilities. It can plow through most terrain without blinking, leaving a trail of devastation in its wake. The shiny red livery, massive tractor style wheels, and gleaming front blade are a joy to behold. This marvel of the modern age is a big boys power fantasy made real. It can also pull a variety of trailers ranging from fuel tankers to repair units. Due to its sheer power, it can also be used as a support vehicle to pull stricken trucks out of the mire. Its primary task is to move fallen trees out of the forest and drag them close to roads/tracks so that they can be loaded onto transports. This is based on a proper logging utility machine. My favourite from the new roster of vehicles is the K-8400 Skidder. Great for long-range missions to the back of beyond. These add-ons give you extra fuel and repair points. Bumpers, lightbar, roof trunk and spare wheel can all be attached at the local garage. More positives stem from the fact that it can carry quite a load of support kit. It’s a great addition to the massive fleet of trucks to choose from.
The high ride helps to traverse small rivers and rocky trails. Sharp inclines and dense thicket are no match for this beast. Even from my short time with it, it seems far more powerful and capable than my beloved UAZ-469 ( My “goto” scouting “jeep” from the main game garage). I felt right at home as soon as I fired up this puppy. This SUV packs a lot of grunt under the hood. One of the new scout vehicles is the Chevrolet K5 Blazer, a classically styled pickup truck. I can only describe my time with them in this beautifully coded sandbox environment.
Whether they accurately simulate or portray their real-life counterparts is way beyond my level of expertise. Now I’m no petrol head nor I am learned in American truck culture, so all these new vehicles are all completely fresh experiences for me. They have even gone the extra mile and sought out fully licensed trucks and off-roaders, a first for the series. Sabre has duly obliged and delivered two new maps to explore. The original game was steeped in Russian vehicles and the whole culture that surrounds them. The community has been clamouring for American themed content for some time. You can select singleplayer (which gives you access to the 10 sandbox maps including the new American wilds ones), challenges, tutorial and multiplayer. The main menu and content selection haven’t been altered compared to the main game. It’s not stellar but does the job admirably. Its a basic introduction to all the main mechanics.
Changing trucks and unloading logs is also covered.

It also illustrates how to engage the differential lock and all-wheel drive modes. This guides novices through the various camera controls and basic vehicle handling. Included in the game is a handy dandy tutorial. The sheer amount of community made content available to all is staggering. This one feature is, in my opinion, the most important for the longevity of the whole series. Perhaps the most significant addition has been the implementation of Steam workshop support.

Two free DLC packs have added, new maps, and vehicles. There have been numerous updates and extra features added. Mudrunner has come along way since last years launch and rebranding. This details all the upgrades and gameplay basics from the original Spintires that was released back in 2014.
