About Runker 51:
Snow runner is the much anticipated sequel to Mud runner, the third game in the spintires off road simulation series, and this new installment takes the spintires concept from being a curious toy to a full fledged game. Quite a monumental leap to say the least. I won’t be covering many of the things that stayed the same from mud runner, as I already made a review of it. It does this mainly by adding a new progression system. Trucks and upgrades are now earned through money, an XP level system, and scavenged from the maps as you play. In some ways, this makes the game into a bit of a metroidvania type of ordeal. There are many areas starting out that you simply cannot reach with your current equipment. And that can be rather frustrating to someone unfamiliar with spintires. Your biggest enemy is yourself if you don’t know what your trucks can and cannot do. Many judgement calls will have to be made. Especially when doing a super heavy haul contract with early game equipment. That being said, another big change to the spintires formula is the kind of work you will be doing in this game. Before it was simply hauling logs from the yard to the lumber mills. And while those jobs still exist in snow runner, you’ll also have to haul a variety of different cargoes and the super heavy trailers mentioned before. As well as vehicle recovery operations. You can pick and choose what jobs to do for the most part, but some are required to complete to unlock others. And this brings the biggest change to the game, the new open world maps.
