SnowRunner is such a chill little game. I'm surprised I didn't play it sooner in all honesty.
Really this is a polarising game, if you enjoy the more sim-esque style games without the seriousness then this game could be for you.
Deliver stuff, pull stuff out of the mud and overall just piss about in trucks for a few hours or days if you get addicted. Worth a buy at <£15, anything above this is for enthusiasts only.
DeathStranding but with trucks, no story and less immersion.

SnowRunner ist für mich das beste Spiel der Xbox One/PS4-Generation. Ich spiele es seit mittlerweile fast 3 Jahren, und es lässt mich einfach nicht los. Stundenlang offene Welten zu erkunden, die optimalen Routen auszutüfteln, Waren zu transportieren oder Wracks zu bergen. Das ganze mit einer kniffligen Mechanik, aber eben gleichzeitig auch spielbar bleibt.
A mesmerizing game at its best. The first few missions are such a slog, given that your starter trucks think of shallow mud as if it were glue, but getting a truck that can haul things over terrain with actual obstacles allows this game to show off how fun it can be.
It's a little bare in terms of gameplay elements - it really is just "deliver thing to place" - but the actual logistics of getting thing X to place Y turns this simple act of traversal into a puzzle, making this much more comparable to Death Stranding than SCS's Truck Sim games. It's a shame that the game is either ludicrously easy or really hard once you acquire a few trucks, with no real in-between. This means that the only real factor is "can your truck grip the terrain and/or winch itself along", which doesn't completely nullify the fun in the game, but I rarely feel like I need to use more than 4-5 of the 60+ vehicles in the game.
All in all it's still an enjoyable game that allows you to engage your brain a bit without being an overly stressful or action-packed experience. I'm not really big into them myself but I imagine this is peak "podcast game" material. My suggestion is to Cheat Engine in a small amount of money so the hump at the beginning is a little smaller, and you can get to the meat of the experience a little faster - you won't exactly be robbing yourself of the feeling of progression either, as most of the content is still locked behind levels.
