It’s the stupidest plan anyone has ever come up with, but it’s the only one I have.
As I drove over the top, I could see huge Russian trucks peeking out of the trees at the edge of the cliff. This is Tatra Force and will be in my garage soon. I slammed the pedal and hit the back of the car.
The Tatra and my Loadstar tangled together like great but clumsy metal lovers, falling off the edge and gliding to the river bank below with surprising gentle grace because I literally just threw a truck onto The top of another truck. Halfway down, I realized that my other car, the one at the base of the cliff, was parked in the path of the metal avalanche.
Luckily, it stopped quickly and nearly turned my waiting chariot into a pancake.
20 minutes later, the Tatra’s engine broke down and my heart broke. I couldn’t crawl back to camp.

If you have ever played any of these Adventure: Mud Run GameThe main siblings – Mudwalker and Snowwalker, chances are you have countless such stories yourself. The latest entry in the series – as you’d expect from the name – has a lot in common with both games. Series veterans will feel right at home with everything from the off-road physics, which shift between energetic fun and relentless grinding depending on the terrain you’re pedaling, to the driving mechanics you’ll use to do said trampling.
There are a lot of key differences this time around, though, and I’m happy to report that they do make for an experience that provides just enough of a twist to the series’ well-honed established formula of “big vehicles here, stuff here” . Hundreds of miles away, it feels fresh to be ready to battle nature on the road. You’ll be surprised to know that Expedition is all about adventure – missions designed specifically for fleets of reconnaissance vehicles and trucks smaller than your usual Delhi Longhorn or Pacific P12.
Equipped with an array of new gadgets, hireable assistants, and upgradeable outposts, this time your job will be to find dinosaur tracks, snap photos of rocks hidden deep in the woods, and inspect ancient buildings. There’s still a lot of hauling involved, some of which involves transporting weather and water monitoring stations in a very SnowRunner way, but there’s no trailer full of logs or rolls of sheet metal to mess around with.
There’s even a lot of bridge construction, although this time they’re just small folding bridges that just need a few spare parts. Oh, and you’ll find a lot of nice little quests and side jobs to do in between the big adventures, which is another great carryover.
The results will definitely be interesting for those who are already into the series, but I think those who went in with a vision of what would happen if Indiana Jones or Lara Croft actually got into the Land Rover Defender might be a little bit disappointment. First off, the game has the same subtle tone as its predecessor, which isn’t necessarily a bad thing, but it does mean that every cool discovery you make feels a bit like someone on the Time Team digging out some pottery with a tool. The trowel is more important than Indy finding the golden idol.
Then there’s the fact that Expedition, like its predecessors, is often more difficult than a Sudoku puzzle designed by God Himself. Things start off easy, with five tutorial missions in their own mini-area, “Little Colorado,” but once you get into the game’s two main areas – the deserts of Arizona and the rocky woodlands of the Carpathians – things change. It will escalate quickly. There’s a lot of cool scenery and secrets in these two huge areas, even though I’d really like to see them paired with a snowy third area with missions ranging from normal (kind of difficult) to hard (really difficult) ) very difficult), very difficult (set aside at least an hour or two and remember your breathing exercises).
To be clear, this isn’t necessarily a problem at all – especially considering the huge adrenaline rush you get when you finally get the job done against all odds has always been a big part of the series – it just means I found it more difficult The adventure is recommended as an ideal starting point for these games, but not what I thought it would be. Additionally, there’s no way to roam freely in an area until you’ve completed five expeditions, which is a pretty weird choice. To this point, scouting out a job site yourself before doing it has long been a piece of common sense I offer to all new SnowRunners. hint.
Thankfully, gadgets and gear like echo sounders can show the depth of a body of water, screw jacks can get you back on all four wheels in a limited amount of time, and anchors serve as winch points, These really help make things easier. Even though you definitely need to use all of these entries, it’s a little less unforgiving than previous entries in the series. I’m not a big fan of drones, which are used in lieu of the usual watchtowers for map discovery, and only help you explore circles of land that you have to completely map. – can say too much – mission.
On the other hand, I’m happy to confirm that at least some of the six different types of specialists you can recruit are really useful in giving you certain stat boosts during a specific job or roaming session. Thanks to the hydrologists for stopping me from flooding a car every five minutes, and to the operators for making drones less terrible. Mechanics and mechanics are also very handy.
Another thing you can spend money on is truck customization, which is pretty good too, offering a range of visual and practical options for a motley crew of Jeeps, pickup trucks, and that one big truck I mentioned earlier. That said, it would be nice if you had to complete missions to unlock some vehicles stranded in the wilderness. The Tatra is primary as it’s the only heavy truck released in the game, which makes rescuing it with a smaller off-road truck as easy as passing a gallstone the size and shape of France.
I’ll eventually manage to get it back, though, because if there’s one thing Adventure and its terrifying mud siblings can teach you, it’s that the perils of the picturesque are ultimately overcome, but not through the sheer ruthlessness and unyielding nature of nature It never stops making you feel rewarded.
Adventure: Mud Run Game It will be released on PC, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X and Series S on March 5, 2024, but will be unlocked starting on February 29 for those who pre-ordered certain versions.
