There is also a focus on the vehicles’ fuel consumption and damage which can be refuelled and repaired at garage and fuel locations on the map, or if you get stuck before reaching one, fuel and utility trucks are on hand to come to you. You would think instances like this would become frustrating – after all the single objective of the game is to collect logs and deliver them to the lumber mill and this set back was costing me – but in all honesty I was having a blast trying to figure out the best way to literally pull myself from the mud. Thankfully I managed to get the second truck free, but the first is still there and has now become a permanent feature of the lake. I brought in a second truck to pull it free, but in doing so managed to get that stuck too, which meant calling in a third truck. My first play-through resulted in me foolishly attempting to drive through a lake – which I assumed was shallow – only for my truck to sink, with only the rear peering out of the water. It then becomes a case of switching to another unlocked vehicle dotted around the open-world map to rescue yourself with the trusty winch. To increase the stakes very often you’ll find your vehicle will grind to a halt as the thick sludgy mud beneath your wheels becomes too much. Passing by watchtowers will reveal more of the map so you can plan ahead. Most of the map is without a faint hint of a road and it becomes a case of trial and error as you navigate your way around trees, water and overall rough terrain. Instead of following a sat-nav along a standard road, Spintires forces you to plan your own route using the in-game map and a handy tool for plotting points. Spintires: Mudrunner (a more advanced version of the original Spintires game) adds an extra layer of puzzle solving to gameplay which makes for fun and compelling challenges. I spend most of my life driving along motorways, so why would I want to do that in the comfort of my own home as well? When it came to playing Spintires: Mudrunner for this review I was expecting more of the same, but how wrong I was. I personally find them incredibly boring with their monotonous driving, abiding by the traffic laws and almost real world travel times. Simulation games are insanely popular, particularly the likes of Euro Truck Simulator.
