Expeditions: A MudRunner Game Review - The Final Verdict

Expeditions: A MudRunner Game puts you in the shoes of an expert off-road driver that sets off to some of the most remote yet beautiful places in the world. Along the way, you’ll take on various missions that help you earn money, allowing you to upgrade your vehicles, buy new trucks, and maybe even build up some amenities in your home base. The core challenge, however, comes from the sheer difficulty in planning an off-road route.

What makes Expeditions: A MudRunner Game especially fun is the fact that, while there are several small things to pay attention to, like AWD and differential locks, and even just a fuel gauge, things never really get overwhelming. Instead, you’re encouraged to plan your routes out, and take just about everything you think you might need for a long drive, because if you get stuck in the middle of nowhere without any fuel, well, that’s your fault.

Expeditions could be better if most missions were available from the start of each map, so you can do them in whatever order you want.
Even when you’re just playing the game it doesn't seem open enough, because you don't have the freedom to do whatever you want since all of the missions are locked. The missions you are able to do are just mostly linear it's just go to point a then to point b and so on.

In Snowrunner there were a lot of roads that were closed or blocked in someway and it was more job based that somethings had to be done first before doing something else and other things throughout the map.

In Expeditions it is supposed to be different or so that's what it was meant to be from the way the description for this game seemed.
You have a big open space where you make your own path being that there aren't any roads, so having most missions open from the beginning would have made a much better and more enjoyable experience.

Expeditions is okay and it can be fun, but the gameplay is mostly restrictive and Snowrunner does everything better. Hopefully Expeditions will improve and get better with time, and that's just my opinion.

I love how this game shows expeditions/missions to accomplish so simply. I couldn’t play mudrunner much because never understood where to go or what to do.

[jacryder]

such an underrated game but it’s very difficult; if you love problem solving and are patient it’s the one

PSA for Playstation 5 owners - there is a repeatable bug in the game (experienced by myself and by others on the socials) that causes a complete system crash when using the drone which is needed for some missions. Hopefully that will get fixed

Good game. I like where it's going. The scouting missions are fun and the maps are well done. I really don't like the menus and menu navigation. The inventory in your trucks is pretty weirdly managed, switching to other trucks is garbage, the outposts you start from in a mission is managed terribly. And trying to find ways to unlock new trucks or upgrades is often very unclear. I've restarted several missions just because the objective and exactly what I needed was unclear in the mission briefing.

This is a stripped down Snowrunner in my book.

[ralphharrison]

a lot of potential, but imo, feels like it was rushed. not enough trucks in the game, objectives sometimes are all over the map, making it near impossible, resulting in loss of fuel. getting recalled should not restart mission progress, makes zero sense to do that. getting stuck on a rotten log, or a rock smaller than a pineapple is frustrating at times. however, i do enjoy the game, as its relaxing slower pace is a welcome change from sweaty racing games like nfs, and motorfest. also, some weather effects would be a welcome change. hopefully sabre will not just abandon this game, and it improves.

Imagine this kind of physics in GTA6 🤤

[pricelessppp]

Does this game support wheel and shifter?

[bckrypto]

My copy is going on ebay. Just couldn't get into it. It was boring and stripped down compared to SnowRunner. Gonna pick up MudRunner American Wilds instead on sale on the eshop for $7.49. Seems like more bang for the buck.

Anyone else spent the entire review yelling "engage low gear you moron!" in his head?

[SinkyYT]

I bought the supreme edition, played it for an hour then refunded it. It really isn't worth the current asking price.

[TheRealBrotherLance]

Why does it feel like you are just reading release notes. This is not a cargo hauling game at all.

[ownzuall]

I really do not understand why these devs are so stubborn to not implement Adaptive Triggers on PC. This unique game genre is like a glove for a force feedback when pressing the trigger to drive the vehicle. I could understand not having the resources to implement it on their previous games but why did they only implement it for PS5 version and not PC is beyond my understanding.

[crazidirtbiker]

They made this game into death stranding but in a truck. I just want to do some off-roading not all that other crap.

[Ty-dpiv]

Holla back at me in a year when the ad more and fix more, till then its snowrunner for me. Snow runner is the only game i have played in the past 2 years, so im excited for a new one but im gonna give it some time to really beef the game up. More trucks, maps, and small fixes

[kosmqshar]

the cars are unrealistic and they jump all over the place so the game is trash

[PreciseGaming]

Either there are only two vehicles in this game or you guys played one hour of gameplay and then made a review. I can’t trust this review.

[BaSiC]

Overall dissapointing for me. 80% recycling from Snowrunner. Physics still feel off compared to Spintires and Mudrunner. No feel of weight. Barely any graphical improvements. Textures suddenly change in quality under your truck. And now we will get lazy copy-paste DLCs for years.
