MudRunner

Most realistic water in any video game ever. The programmers who developed the water physics in this game deserve a Turing Award.
The advertising for this game does not represent the basic gist. MudRunner is a logging simulator. You retrieve logs using trucks and various logging cranes in Russian wilderness in the 1960s. The natural landscape is unknown to you and the usable vehicles are hidden. You go through a process of adventure-and-discovery to find the vehicles and deploy them.
Nothing in this game is scripted as it is a simulator. Crazy, unexpected events take place merely due to the laws of physics. The decisions you make have consequences and there is no Game Over here to save you. Any mistakes require recovery with ingenuity. When trucks turn over they are stalled in distant forest. You must bring in larger trucks to perform "heavy rescue" with wenches.

Okay, so I've played this for 45 minutes. Coming from racing games, I wasn't sure what to expect. After the tutorial, I skipped to the Challenges to learn more about the game. The first two were fine, basically slow paced fetch quests with interesting or silly and optional mini-achievements, such as scaring off 10 birds with your horn. The third challenge was, somehow even more simply, to climb a hill. Easy enough, right? No. You will slip. You will get stuck. You will watch, terrified, as your rear tire begins to droop over the edge of a cliff. You will turn on all wheel drive and pray to unknown gods. And you will plummet in a ball of fire to the game over screen, presented with the option of trying again. In my final attempt it took me four minutes to climb that hill, but they were some of the most information dense and engaging four minutes I've felt in a video game since... I don't know, ever. If you're afraid of driving on roads with unguarded cliffs to either side in real life, and looking for an easygoing thrill, you may have found it in an unexpected place with this game. Totally recommend it if you're looking for a different kind of fun.
Note - I got it on sale for five bucks, so my expectations weren't high. Now I can say I'd buy it at full price, too. I'm probably going to end up checking out their 2020 game, SnowRunner. I assume it's more of the same, and in a good way.

i love this game and have it on both console and PC, just wish that they would sell Snow Runner on Steam as well.

It has a relaxing, dream-like quality that has captivated me since the beginning. Playing it on its own is of course fun but for me, playing this game while listening to an audiobook or similar is great way to lose track of several hours in a hurry!

I didnt really mean to write a review for this game but since a lot of people on the community hub complain i gotta write something to infrom new commers.
People on the community hub say that the game crashes consantly and that the multiplayer doesnt work. Which is false. The game crashes only when cross-play is enabled(cross-play is needed for playing with Epic games not Xbox and Ps4). I had the same issue, dissabled cross-play and boom my game is no longer crashing.
Basically if you want to play with a friend that has the game in epic games that will be impossible. Because the game not only crashes but it doesnt let you join the lobby again. So you have to start again and it crashes again. That makes it pointless in playing because you cant finish a map. But when you dissable cross-play everything works as intended. You can invite a friend and you can finish a map without problems. That is all the game works but the update with Epic Games kinda messed up stuff.
If you are wondering if you should buy the game, or is it worth it. YES IT IS. There are tons of mods. Both good and not soo good. You can spend a lot of hours driving in the russian wilderness. It took me and my friend about 30 hours to complete the game without mods. WIth mods... its a different story. We ve been playing for hours and as you can see curently i have 156 hours and Im still not bored at all. The game has a good potential. Now imma try and rate some aspect os the game.
Rates:
Singleplayer: 8/10
Easy to explain. The maps you get for free are fun and all but its not worht playing alone. If you want i suggest brining some underpowerd mods and see how much u struggle. Its peacefull to play SP, but i personally don't recomed it. Also i dont recomed easy or casual mode it aint fun that way. Since there is no campaign or story its just driving and the main goal is to bring some logs to the lubmer mill thats all. But the roads and the mud that all over the map is what this makes this game MUDRUNNER.
Multiplayer: 9/10
As i said in SP always play on hard. Its funneir i will explain later.
Im giving it a 9 for a dumb reason. But first lets start with the goods and then with the bads. Its like SP, but on steroids. You have friends, or randomds. Up to 4 people(including you). That way everyone can do certain tasks. For example when me and my friends unlock the map. We have a person for everything. I usually load the trucks with the logs. Someone is driving the logs. Someone always brings fuel, and the last guy is always repair points. When the guys with fuel and repair are not needed they stay around the people who carry logs and escort them incase one of us messes up something like getting flipped over. It always fun. We try to race on the narrow roads we push each other and flip over. Then we try rescuing someone. The good things is that you can never run out of maps. There are A LOT of community maps and most of them are pretty well made and pretty creative.
Everything is cool and all but the only down sides i can find are: You can't see other's headlights, and cant hear their engiens. Sometimes it just kills the immersion. The other bad thing is that you can't add more than 8 mods. But you always figure a way out. It just messes up with mod combos sometimes.
Graphics: 9/10
They are good enought not the best but still good. Only downside is that it aint as colorfull as Spintires. This one is a bit more grey-ish
Gameplay: 9/10
You have two main modes.
Singleplayer and Multiplayer.
I talked about them above. There is one more gamemode and its challanges. Its basically small maps where you have to do something they want you to do. For example: Load the truck with medium logs or unlock every watch point on the map. They aslo give achievments so if you want the game 100% completed yeah go for them other than that they are pointless in my opinion.
Controlls: 9/10
I've played the game with a keyboard, controller and a 180 degree wheel. And i never had problems. It works flawlessly. Only issue is when u change input mid game you have to restart.
DLC: 9/10
You have a much of DLC that are free and one expansion - American Wilds. I was never interested in so i never bought it.
Fun: 10/10
its awsome just buy it and play with friends.
Price: 9/10
Not to pricy, but i recom you to buy it on a discount.
Overall: 9/10
You wont regret the game if you like offroading and driving in the mud.

This is one of my top rated offroad games that i played on steam thanks to the creators, not just the modding community featuring extreme 4x4 trucks and suvs and variety of trailing, mudding, and rock crawling maps, but also the physics when your are in a virtual driving simulator that features real-life rock crawling. I giving a positive recomendation on the original Spintires and its sequel Mudrunner

Single Player = Death
Multipiler = fun
With friend jokes+mod hilux = great
