SnowRunner

An earnest, unapologetically tricky, and time-consuming trucking experience, SnowRunner’s peculiar brand of off-road ordeals is oddly addictive, deep, and rewarding when played in the right spirit. It’s not often we see an authentic, slow-paced delivery sim that doesn’t baffle you with nonsense or try to upsell you a $2,000 jacket, but SnowRunner’s no slouch.

The theme of “let’s industrialize the wilderness” isn’t a particular favorite, but even so it makes for a good motivation, dragging pipes, lumber, beams and other supplies all across the landscape. There’s a big beautiful world out there covered in unspoiled nature, but it’s not particularly friendly. SnowRunner lets you tame it with the strongest vehicles on the planet, but no matter how tough they are there’s no question that it’s always going to be a fair fight.
