Expeditions: A MudRunner Game

Expeditions: A MudRunner Game succeeds in being a more varied, interesting and accessible entry in Saber’s Runner series, although it’s still on the challenging side and has niche appeal. We’ve had a great deal of entertainment from it though, and will continue to do so — it’s 70-plus expeditions present a seriously considerable time investment. With DLC and a co-op mode to come, it’s likely to ge...

Expeditions: A MudRunner Game is a departure from the series, relying on short mission-based adventures, but it runs great on the Steam Deck!

More off-roading excellence from the series formerly known as Spintires, although its scientific theme is not as interesting as it could be.

Expeditions: A Mudrunner Game is a worthy new chapter in the beloved but fairly niche series. The acclaimed physics are back and better than ever, supported by some stunning sandbox regions with a lot to discover and enjoy. Newcomers and veterans alike will find something here to sink their teeth into, an almost exhausting experience as every bump, every climb seems to get to you in a physical sen...

Sound-wise the game has a bunch of generic guitar riffs that are a series staple.  It’s inoffensive during the menu screens and the main sounds you’ll have in-gameplay are your engines mixed with a bit of wilderness ambiance. The biggest issue I had by far on both PC and Xbox was the text prompts from your experts telling you what was going on and where to go.  They’re well written and crucial inf...

Expeditions: A MudRunner Game shifts the slow-moving action of its predecessors from small scale levels full of straightforward challenges to a set of large open world maps designed specifically for freewheeling offroad exploration. The magic of SnowRunner et al remains intact here, with a gloriously atmospheric bunch of regions to get busy taming as you push forward through swamps, across rivers ...

If you've ever looked at a stretch of abandoned road, overcome with mud and muck, and wondered whether your little two-door compact could make it through, MudRunner might be a series you already know. From Spintires to SnowRunner, it's a lovely little franchise that seems to be surviving capably, and its latest is Expeditions: A MudRunner Game, which takes the series in an altogether more scientif...

Saber Interactive is back with another off-roading sim that’ll force you to face the consequences of your own stupidity.

Expeditions feels like an exciting new direction for this series that encourages more experimentation on the gameplay side and I am thrilled that this didn’t just feel like Mudrunner or Snowrunner again. I am excited to see where Saber takes the game with its seasonal content, especially after the exciting editions we saw with the Snowrunner seasons.

Expeditions: A MudRunner Game continues the series legacy in emphatic style, with a true pioneering spirit that’ll keep you coming back for vehicular adventures for months to come.

Expeditions: A Mudrunner Game has a lot of tidying up to do to become what it should be, but there's a wonderfully-rewarding game in there once you've learned its quirks. I had no idea the map checkpointing system was so useful until I noticed one of the screenshots highlighting it, and then a major point of friction simply disappeared. It also took a bit to get used to the idea that the smaller t...

Expeditions: A MudRunner Game is an interesting iteration on Saber Interactive's earlier off-road simulation titles that brings some new features while keeping the core challenge familiar to fans of the series. There is a lot of content available, though much of it inevitably boils down the main concept of having to deal with hard environments. Most of this works reasonably well, but some of the n...
