With SnowRunner, current developers Saber Interactive have slapped some snow chains on MudRunner’s tyres, sprucing up the physics engine and terrain simulation for an arctic road trip - one where the pace isn’t the only thing that’s glacial. Wet mud’s dangerous enough, but snow and ice? That’s downright lethal. Thankfully, SnowRunner is prepared, offering up a warehouse packed with intake snorkels, chain tires, floodlights and the like to help you carve a glacial trail across Russia and the USA.
I can’t drive, but I know too well how much of a nightmare it is pulling a hulking metal carcass through a snowdrift. Training sled-dogs in the Norwegian woods way back, we’d take the team out with the truck instead of a sledge when the snow wasn’t deep enough - easing along on the accelerator to help 15 Greenland dogs haul a Ford Transit along nordic trails.
SnowRunner churns its way to theEpic Games Storefor £35/$40 on April 28.
