Alaskan Road Truckers Review (PC) | An ATS killer?

Alaskan Road Truckers seeks to provide a visceral, hands-on driving experience through the harsh conditions of America's most northern, and most desolate state.
While it has the makings of an interesting truck sim, seemingly trying to have a formula that combines the likes of American Truck Simulator with MudRunner/SnowRunner, it doesn't do a great job at matching us to either.

I would love to see Saber come out with a true road trucking game.

[@joeljimenez4550]

This is a dope game but it would never kill ATS and I mean Never

[@eXtremeAzureProductions]

Wholeheartedly agree! We'll see how much the devs improve on it over time. Hopefully it becomes truly fleshed out in the near future.

[@djdevontay]

I always wish that ats let you get out and let you fill up. Let you get out. When you go to truck dealership. Walk around to look what truck you want. Get out to eat at restaurants. Ect

[@ayeitsjames]

Sounds like this game is for you! Its also coming to consoles this year

[@fitzgerald434]

I love how you can get out the truck. It's something I wish ATS would add but ATS is a far better trucking game

[@anthonyjenkins2001]

Every time i play a game with bad AI traffic (like in the old 18 WOS games) i always look at it as thats real drivers for ya! Break checking you...going way under the limit...etc

[@jamesbasile4589]

Hoping for a better future with this. Bought it, checked it out, now set aside to give them time to work on it. Not bad, really, but far from an ATS killer as of now.

Nice review, very well done! I like the comparisons to ATS/ETS and Snowrunner and your emphasis on how poor the driving mechanics are in this game (which is my main reason for disliking the game even though I was initially quite excited for it).

[@eXtremeAzureProductions]

Glad you enjoyed it. Appreciate your comment. I've put a lot of hours into those other driving sims, and since this one wants to offer a challenge to them, I figured it was only fair to compare them all.

Console needs more road trucking.

[@pawelpablo898]

5:11 Airport Sim plane :)

[@Happyland_Motel_Gamer_Cat]

I am on Xbox and i don't have the game but PC players are lucky bc the graphics are so much more realistic compared to the console port.

[@coreystrawn4532]

Thanks for the video… saved me some money

[@redbelliedgaming]

I had pretty high hopes for this game, i was hoping it would hold up and do well in todays market...time will tell i suppose

[@gavinmosby8900]

I was actually quite excited for this game, it had so much potential. i bought it as soon as it was available, and was imediately dissapointed. The graphics are poor, the game looks like it's about 15 years behind even with everything on max/ultra (i have a high end gaming PC), and the actual driving is just so poor that i played for about 15 minutes and then got a refund. I hope they make some significant updates and improvements, and i'll look back again some time in the future.

[@valentingn]

Yes the game has bugs, but its FUN game! It will never beat ETS2, but i like it! And i hope that it will expand more and will be polished !

[@pcproducer3036]

This game is about to get over 100 patches to fix the bugs. Everything that yall having problems with is about to be fix and and will be on console as soon as all the patches get fix

[@leonr1985]

At least here you can get out of the truck and take rest before you drive again

[@jasonferguson8462]

Snowrunner is awesome and with new fix coming on the 31st January i am excited but this was a huge anticipated game but now i dont care anymore

[@Tactical_Waifu]

tbh the game has pretty good future if they keep working on it but to me personally it looks more like a beta than a full game release :/ i was kinda dissapointed when it finally came out :(

[@eXtremeAzureProductions]

I agree, just as I mentioned in my review. It has the makings of an interesting new take on the genre, but there are a lot of holes to fill before that can happen. It's a shame, really. I really don't like the trend of games releasing in a basic, semi broken form with the idea of throwing patches at it over time to get it up to par. It's crazy how often fully completed games at launch are now considered a rarity nowadays.

[@tedhegner2560]

Why does it look like you guys redline all the time when you’re pulling a load?

[@eXtremeAzureProductions]

That'd be the way the gauges are animated in-game.

[@smokewheat-xr1xg]

Another bad looking game. When will there finally be a truck sim with good graphics like MSFS2020?

[@lifeform4295]

Bull shit no Chance, not even close to ATS.

[@joemac3118]

LMAO 😂😂🤣😂. That game will never,ever come anywhere close to ATS!!!!! Alaska truck sim is garbage!!!!!
