What people are saying
Players overwhelmingly praise MudRunner as a superior, pure off-road experience.
Many players consider MudRunner better than its successor SnowRunner, citing superior physics, smaller file size, and a more focused driving experience. They praise the realistic mud and vehicle physics, the serene atmosphere, and the game's ability to run smoothly on weak PCs. [3][4][7][9][14][25]
However, some players find the game slow, tedious, and frustrating, with limited content and repetitive missions. [5][10][20][34][35][36]

Same folks as Art Of Rally (obvious from the graphics) but I actually think the aesthetic and third-person camera view suit a slow-paced 4x4 game better. Sort of like a non-frustrating Spintires/Mudrunner. Multiplayer will be fun I think.
positive · AI labelView post →Takes way to long to go anywhere. Tedious and annoying physics. I want to like the game, cause it feels polished from the short time I played it. It just unfortunately activates a part of my brain that instantly pisses me off.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Incredible. So serene, relaxing pure. My first mud driving game. Even though it is far smaller than snowrunner I do sincerely believe it to be superior. Better physics, no upgrades for trucks is actually making the game better. There is no focus on optimizing and upgrading. You are just...chilling somewhere...nowhere in deep Russia, carrying logs. So fun, great game.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Mudrunner is the ultimate off-road game, and it is far superior to all of it's successors such as snowrunner. Positives + One of the big things is that the audio in Mudrunner is great, the engines actually sound alive. + The vehicle physics (suspension and transmissions with torque) are probably some of the best representations of heavy machinery in off road conditions. + Mud physics are surprisingly interesting and each run can be very entertaining. + The game has solid COOP support, and…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This was the first off road game I played where you could get a vehicle completely stuck and impossible to recover, It's challenging and can be quite frustrating. On one trail I spent 2 weeks trying to get one truck out but I gave up, now it is out in the wilderness rotting away.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →To be honest, I think this is more of a step backward compared to the original Spintires. There are a few features that were included in the original game but are missing here for some reason, and the physics simulation feels quite strange as well. In the original game, every vehicle behaved realistically, whereas here it feels like each vehicle has its own separate physics. Some trucks perform unrealistically well off-road, while others are unnecessarily worse. On top of that, I much…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Despite its age showing a little in limited content compared to SnowRunner and similar, MudRunner is still one of the best casual truck off-roading games and has some features that are in some cases better than SnowRunner, not least feeling more true to life in the driving. If you want better graphics (MudRunner is good but SnowRunner is decidedly beautiful) lots of variety and features, choose SnowRunner instead, and if you want more challenges but less off-roading, choose RoadCraft.

"quiet unease". -Derelikt, a retro PS1 horror FPS who did its homework. (Made me laugh straight at the intro logo only 2 seconds after launching the demo)
neutral · AI labelView post →Ain't gonna lie, that's the one of the best off-road games I have ever played. It just looks good, plays good, sounds good. The only downside is that there aren't many challenges and maps to play on once you completed everything, except downloading mods. I highly recommend this game for those who like planning routes and driving slowly while also battling through the MUD along the way. :)
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A very relaxing game about driving old soviet trucks through forests, rivers and all types of wilderness. Core gameplay usually revolves around moving a cargo from point A to B and how you get about it is up to you. Patience and thinking ahead is crucial, you have to drive carefully if you don’t want to get stuck in mud, flip the truck or be taken by the river current. I recommend all DLC’s for this game as they’re all great and offer a lot of new content. There’s also Steam Workshop with…

After playing this I finally understand why people like this masterpiece so much, the attention to detail, the physics, the mud, all of it is in some ways better than Snowrunner.

Interesting gameplay of crawling on wet soil at 30km/h tops, getting jumpscared by mud pits and get stuck, constantly bashing your trucks into trees and rocks, and cursing at the screen after flipping your logs.
