Many feel it should not be compared to SnowRunner, as it focuses on exploration rather than cargo delivery. [1][2][3]

going to thumb it down mainly for one reason. your trucks despawn on the map between expeditions and it is extremely frustrating mechanic. for example: DLC map owl lake ridge. first mission/expedition on the map, you got to drive far and get to some locations of lost civilization... its a long mission, 30min, but pretty standard. At the end, you finish the mission at the cave entrance that goes to new map and …

So, I love snowrunner and the challenges it presents, but I do have a few problems. One of the biggest problems is the vehicles don't feel like they have much weight, and the smaller the vehicle the more they bounce around. Expiditions is a game where you're only given the scouts from snowrunner, the smallest class of vehicle, and asked to perform missions. The problem with this is the physics engine appears to be …

This game is great (i recommend only purchasing when on sale since $40 is a big pill to swallow for a game that has stopped receiving updates and has expansion dlc locked behind a paywall), but it should not have mudrunner anywhere near its name. It isn't mudrunner, and never will be, it's about exploration, not cargo delivery (whoever thought it was a good idea to attach that name to this game may have …

TLDR: Bad reviews aren't really deserved, IMO. Multiplayer has bugs here and there but nothing gamebreaking. This isn't a sequel of Snowrunner/Mudrunner. Expeditions is best described as "Snowrunner but scouts only". Most of the gameplay is traversing difficult off-road terrain on jeeps. Physics are similar to Snowrunner, I'm not seeing any simplifications there (even though some cars seemingly have lower center of …

this game got done dirty IMO, and now its dead. saber did their last content update on this game and it made me sad enough to write a review. here is the TLDR: I would get the year one edition on sale if you can. if you like offroading for the sake of offroading, this game has quite a lot to offer you. if you like big missions that involve a lot of logistics, this game isn't going to scratch that itch. If you like …

62% of the 199 Steam reviewers we collected recommend Expeditions: A MudRunner Game. The complaint that keeps coming up: no longer receiving content updates. Deal-breaker or nitpick?
Critics, per Wikipedia
The game received "generally favourable" reviews upon release according to review aggregator Metacritic. Fellow review aggregator OpenCritic assessed that the game received strong approval, being recommended by 79% of critics. Luke Reilly from IGN described it as a "worthwhile complementary experience" to SnowRunner. He concluded his review by writing that Expedition's "unique brand of slow-paced bushwhacking won't ever be for everybody, but successfully taking a truck on a trek through terrain that the toughest trailblazers would fear to tread is still an oddly satisfying challenge that proves the journey is always more important than the destination". Jan Ole Peek from Shacknews described…

Saber interactive has come out as a Developer team fully hyped with Generative AI. As a gamer that respects the industry and art of Gaming and those that create the games. I can't in any way further support Saber Interactive or any of their games. Until the company does a full stop on Generative AI I will not be buying any future games from them nor will I install any of their games.…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →i really dislike how much hate this game got. For anyone interested, this game is no longer being supported due to the communities constant complaints. This game was considered "Snow runner 2" from the community before the game even released but what they do not understand is that this game isnt Snow runner 2, its expeditions: a mud running game. though similar, it is very unique in its own way. You can adjust tire pressure, you can scale rocks and mountains, use new items such as tow ropes…

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →After spending some time with Expeditions: A MudRunner Game, I can’t help but feel disappointed. Compared to SnowRunner, this one leans heavily toward an arcade experience rather than a proper simulator. The core feeling of weight, traction, and realistic vehicle physics that made the earlier titles so immersive is largely gone. Vehicle control and steering feel strangely artificial — almost like the trucks are gliding on rails rather than interacting with the terrain. There’s a lack of that…

I've 556 hours in the game as of this post, it's a huge comfort game for me, and there's so many regions of the game I haven't completed yet. It's absurdly content-rich.

neutral · AI labelView post →Wow, what a disappointment. Normally I'm optimistic about mixed reviews but this time they're pretty much justified. While great in concept, the execution of this game is very poor. As a third installment to the runner series, it brings all the errors from the previous games and then goes on to add some of its own. Instances make for a poor game experience and many quest are made with the intention of wasting time. While the whole runner series is quite the time consuming genre, Expeditions in…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The best solo modes are simple. In Expeditions by @stonemaiergames.com you simply flip a card and you check if the enemy bots have enough stars. If not they move. Turns take SECONDS. Same for Harvest by @keymastergames.bsky.social flip 2 tiles, put a cow in those spaces, & boom it's your turn again.

I really enjoyed the offroad aspect of it, but didn't really find the slog of dragging heavy things through mud at 0.5 MPH very enjoyable. I've come to really appreciate this game because of that. I'll say, the start was pretty rough. The physics for smaller vehicles is super jank and pretty frustrating at times, especially with the default scouting…
