But as endearingly bizarre as I find Spintires, and as much as I admire the technology, I can’t say I really ever enjoyed it. There are moments of what I could loosely call excitement - like almost rolling over and spilling my load just metres from the delivery point, or thinking I was crossing a shallow pond only to become totally submersed in a river- but they're few and far between. Mostly I just find myself swearing at mud.

A muddy, messy and fun tech demo that gingerly touches on a deeply held love of playing in the dirt that you might have forgotten about.

Uansett er Spintires et spill jeg har storkost meg med i skremmende mange timer, og som jeg ikke planlegger å legge bort med det første. Med rik støtte for brukerskapt ekstrainnhold gleder jeg meg dessuten til å se hva spillermiljøet finner på nå som fullversjonen endelig er tilgjengelig.

But what a fine tech demo it is, producing the most realistic simulation of physics, water, mud, tree, and use of mechanisms like cranes and winches to date. The freedom and incredible challenge from the moment you start your engine is unique and unlike any other game out there, and it’s a shame there’s not much more to it that makes it easier to recommend.
