It's not snowrunner. That's why it's not called snowrunner, and why snowrunner IS called snowrunner. If you buy this game that isn't snowrunner and want it to be snowrunner, you may find yourself disappointed that this game is, indeed, not snowrunner.Show moreShow less
Expeditions: A Mudrunner Game is the latest entry in the off-road simulation series, following the popular Snowrunner. While I was excited to dive into this new adventure, I can't help but feel that the game needs more time to mature. Control Scheme and UI: For those transitioning from Snowrunner, be prepared for a steep learning curve. The control scheme has been completely overhauled, with key bindings for basic functions like map navigation, parking brakes, and headlights all changed. This, combined with one of the most cumbersome UIs in recent memory, makes for a frustrating experience. Navigating through endless menus to access simple features is a constant challenge, especially when frequently switching between this game and Snowrunner. Mission Structure: The missions in Expeditions lack the sense of accomplishment I've come to expect from the series. They often boil down to repetitive tasks: drive to a point, take a photo, fly a drone, or engage in uninspiring mini-games. The backtracking required only adds to the tedium. Open World and Exploration: Unlike Snowrunner's vast open world, Expeditions feels more constrained. After each expedition, you're pulled back to the main menu to prepare for the next, breaking the immersion and continuity. The inability to seamlessly travel between maps or bring additional vehicles into new areas is a significant drawback. While there is a free roam mode, it's limited by the vehicles you initially choose, with no option to switch things up without starting from scratch. Deployable Bridges: The marketing suggested deployable bridges would be a game-changing feature, but the reality is disappointing. Bridges are tied to specific missions and cannot be freely placed or carried as inventory items. Final Thoughts: I'm not ready to give up on Expeditions and will continue to play in the hope of improvements. However, as it stands, the game requires considerable refinement to reach the standards set by its predecessor. The beautiful world and potential for adventure are there, but they're currently overshadowed by technical issues and design choices that detract from the overall experience.Show moreShow less
If you liked scouting in Snowrunner, you will adore this game. If you are expecting to haul obscene amounts of cargo back and forth like in Snowrunner, just go back to Snowrunner.Show moreShow less
Let me start by saying i have purchased both Mudrunner and Snowrunner on 3 different platforms (PC, Switch. and PS) and am a HUGE fan of the game play and style of the games, that being said.. Expeditions...What a disappointment of a game. Initially i was really excited for another game in the series, delivering some great open world game play and missions and unique experiences... What we got was none of that aside from a new game.... The maps are small and badly designed. the drone function is essentially useless in a great many missions (because of the no fly zones so prevalent in the middle no nowhere) The arcade style feel of the game is kinda garbage. The gear they added like jacks and anchor points seem like a good idea, but in reality are fairly useless 90% of the time. no persistent map, so your trucks all get recalled as soon as the mission is done, so you can't set up remote resupply points for yourself, instead you have to find the airdrops, which are usually a pain in the butt to get to. and the co-op function (best part of previous titles, being able to play with friends) is not even implemented yet.. basically it feels like they released an unfinished game, and I personally would not recommend buying it until they actually finish the game, and even then, I wouldn't recommend spending more than $20 on it, anything else is a ripoff . I genuinely wish I would have returned it right away instead of giving it some time to see if got better, because now I am ineligible for refund (also of note, I have never returned a game on steam, and I've played some pretty bad ones, but this just feels like I got duped, they used the mudrunner name in the title to get the fans into it, then released a game that is not like mudrunner or snowrunner AT ALL)Show moreShow less
Expeditions: It's like Indiana Jones on wheels, explore the terrain in search of secrets and hidden treasures traces of historic animals scan terrain using a drone in search of plane crashes building ruins footprints sources of pollution in lakes and collect items! + Vehicles with many customization options and paintings + Radar in the vehicle and binoculars to reveal the map + Useful Anchor gadgets for winch and Jack-Screw + Collect various items around the map to sell + Beautiful maps especially the Carpathians + Useful metal detector to find upgrades + Echo Sounder to scan deep water + Tire Inflation System + Team members + Less punishing than SnowRunner - I don't feel any reward for the missions other than money - Very limited vehicle selection at launch - Missions and tasks are a bit repetitive - No Photo mode at launch - User interface is clunky Expeditions is a good game, depending on each player it can be an interesting or boring game!Show moreShow less
I have to pay for a dlc to get vehicles on day one?!? Disappointed. I recommend not to support this kind of business.Show moreShow less
I don't get the hate. I prefer this to SnowRunner, and here's why. SnowRunner is about hauling cargo from A to B, and you do this over and over again. There's limited routes to take, and very specific, more efficient routes that you will always choose to take over the more awkard routes, even if the awkward routes are slightly faster. It's a mini Euro Truck Simulator, with mud and a tiny amount of off-roading. This is different. It's about exploring, fully off-road, rock climbing and navigating through awkward climbs to reach your goals. You're rewarded for exploring and taking different routes and you never feel punished for being adventurous. Finding things like "climbs" or "fords" will reward you with cash for upgrades, you'll also unlock extra missions by exploring the map. The game plays out in "Expeditions", these are essentially main missions. You select the one you want to do from the main menu, it gives you the mission requirements, you choose your vehicles and their loadout and off you go. Now, each mission has limitations and often has different set starting locations, you're expected to kit out your chosen vehicle in a way that will allow you to complete the mission, if you don't, well, that's on you. This helps avoid the monotony that SnowRunner suffers from, where you're constantly running from the same lumber yard to other points on the map. There's also sometimes vehicle limitations too and sometimes it forces you to take specific inventory items, limiting your loadout choices. Each Expedition also has bonus missions in them that reward points for cosmetics, they're completely optional, but add an extra challenge. They'll challenge you to things like not taking damage, or only using one type of vehicle or only taking one vehicle. Things that make the mission a little more challenging. I've thoroughly enjoyed doing them so far. Then there's also a free roam mode, where you can freely explore the map and pick up and complete all the extra side missions. You can complete side missions whilst on an Expedition, but doing so can sometimes be awkward due to the Expeditions limitation. Free roam is very much standard SnowRunner mode, go to mission point, grab it, complete it, move on. So you get a little bit of everything here. Graphically, it does look a little nicer than SnowRunner but also, the physics seem to be better for off-roading too. The rock climbing is one of my favourite parts and is significantly more fun than SnowRunners mud laden roads, which tends to just be a mind-numbing slog of "stick it in Low and wait it out". Rock climbing takes a little pre-planning and a fair bit of skill to succeed at. It's great fun and more engaging than anything I've done in SnowRunner. You're also equipped with various gadgets such as binoculars for scoping out points of interest, drones for getting a view of the land from above, anchor points that act as deployable winching points (these are great for experimenting with and allow you to cross some pretty gnarly terrain) and lots of other little things that do all sorts. They add a great bit of entertainment to an already fun experience. To sum it up, if your favourite part of SnowRunner was going off-road and finding the watchtowers and exploring to find the upgrade points, then you'll probably like this game. If you prefer the logistics side of moving cargo from A to B, over boring slow muddy roads, then you'll probably want to skip this one. Personally, I love it.Show moreShow less
The day one DLC has more content than the base game and costs the same as Snowrunner. The base game has less than a fifth of the content of Snowrunner and costs more than Snowrunner. Nope, nope, nuh-nuh-nope.Show moreShow less
Like many other users, I don’t understand the negative reviews. The biggest mistake one can make when approaching Expeditions is comparing it to SnowRunner: the two games may seem similar, but they have completely different gameplay focuses and overall structures. This is a game that requires planning (which is why every expedition ends with a return to HQ) and, as the name suggests, is primarily based on exploration. I can understand criticisms regarding some QoL aspects that need improvement, but that’s a common issue in almost every game, and Expeditions is consistently receiving patches that enhance the overall experience. In my case, after more than 80 hours of gameplay, I’m still not tired of it: I just want more content to keep having fun.Show moreShow less
If you liked Snowrunner or Mudrunner, this game is not for you. It does have nice graphics and the maps look nice, but unfortunately those alone do not make a good game. While the game has a lot of similar vehicles and the tire pressure thing is nice, I feel the game is let down by a few things. First, the price is unjustifiable. In Snowrunner, for $40 you get three maps, many choices of trucks, and complete freedom of where you go, what you do, how you do it, and so on. In Expeditions (for $55), I find it more restrictive and it doesn't seem like the game wants you to just do what you want. Also way less vehicles to choose from. Second, it's lacks any of the maturity of Snowrunner. For $55 I basically get a mobile game with better graphics. That's it. It's like someone stole the soul of Snowrunner. Weird menus and HUD, maps feel weird, rocks feel like ice, etc. There's plenty of reason why nobody flocked to this game and the mixed reviews speak for themselves. Lastly, the game is very repetitive. Now, I know the game is scouting-based, and some Snowrunner players like this over the cargo-focused atmosphere of Snowrunner, but man does it get old quick when its basically all you have to do. Go here, do that, find this, go here and back on the exact same path, etc. I find the "Hmm, I could take this road with this vehicle or this road but this one is muddy whereas this one is hilly, and this one has a gas station, but this vehicle is underpowered but I could also try this one...." you know, choosing what you want to do and how you do it, is completely gone, replaced by "well I can use this truck or this one." Overall I feel the game is okay for those who like scouting exclusively and hate cargo, but for most people this will be a pass. Save your money and play a better game like Snowrunner or Mudrunner or Spintires.Show moreShow less
