Snow Runner, SnowRunner: A MudRunner Game, MudRunner 2
Release Date: April 28, 2020
Simulation, cars, off-road, truck, transport, co-op, Game Pass, multiplayer, singleplayer, internet
Steam
Continuation of an advanced simulator of heavy off-road vehicles from Saber Interactive studio. MudRunner 2 develops the ideas of its predecessor, again focusing on working with heavy equipment in extreme conditions.
MudRunner 2 is a continuation of Spintires: MudRunner, a simulator of off-road vehicles developing the formula known from popular Spintires. The game was developed by Saber Interactive and was released by Focus Home Interactive.
Mechanics
The second MudRunner does not introduce revolutionary changes. Instead, it focuses on developing the predecessor's formula. Again, we drive Russian trucks and other off-road vehicles, travelling alone through vast and wild areas. The gamemplay is a typical sandbox - we can move freely around the game's world. However, we must watch out for muddy roads, which have little in common with the well-maintained routes known from other truck simulators like the Truck Simulator series.
