Expeditions: A MudRunner Game Review

Expeditions: A MudRunner Game reviewed on PC by Luke Reilly. Also available on Xbox, PlayStation, and Switch.
"Expeditions: A MudRunner Game certainly isn’t a replacement for the supremely addictive SnowRunner, but its more untamed wilderness maps and huge truckload of exploration-focused missions do see it function as a very worthwhile complementary experience - despite some aggravating mission gating and a bit of an unfriendly map screen. Its 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."

If you like scouting from Mudrunner/Snowrunner then Expeditions might be your thing. One thing to mention is that Expeditions can also serve as an entry point into the Runner series.

Just listened to the first paragraph from the introduction and it raises the question: why is there a high range gearbox selection? Where do you have enough roads? Grand Canyon or Carpathian mountains?😅

[@xtylego]

In snowrunner with a monster with ton of power like zikh the high gear really shines in muddy terrain or hills because it's constant speed like low gear and doesn't shift all the time and ruins your momentum 😅😁
