RoadCraft

Saber Interactive are masochists. There’s really no other explanation for the cruel, vehicular-based tortures that they continue to put gamers through. Where MudRunner had you driving through engulfing mud, SnowRunner made that slop colder, wetter and whiter, and Expeditions stranded you in the wilderness, RoadCraft shifts the focus from getting your truck unstuck from the mud and more towards dis...

Roadcraft is an excellent addition to Saber’s roster of sim titles. Focusing on construction over driving represents a step forward, showing that this formula can do more, especially when the mechanics and depth are as impressive as they are here.

RoadCraft is a must-play for fans of construction simulators. There is a coziness in the laborious nature of its gameplay that is hard to resist, and with a huge amount of content, you’ll be busy cleaning up natural disasters for dozens of hours.

RoadCraft is the latest MudRunner offshoot from Saber Interactive. It takes the “how to get there” puzzle of the Runner games and lets you build roads, chop down trees, create bridges and more to rebuild areas devastated by catastrophic weather events.  It’s big, a ton of fun in co-op, and a serene but slow experience solo.

Everything breaks and entropy always wins, which is all very nice for the nihilists, but the rest of us are trying to get things done. Inevitable deterioration is a problem and in the long run all is dust and ruin, but the long run can be pushed relentlessly into the future seeing as people are basically tool-using monkeys that have gotten very good at making things as they could be rather than ac...

As someone who used to live in a third-world country that’s prone to natural disasters, the sight of roadworks tends to be very common, especially when travelling towards the province. Trucks and heavy machinery would be next to you while driving down the highway, as you constantly wonder why these roads break easily during typhoon season. Now, I have learned what it’s like to work behind the whee...

Can we fix it? Well, that often depends on whether you’ll let me deliver the bits myself.

It seems like an absolute age since we first sat down to sample Pavel Zagrebelnyy's inspired off-road sim, Spintires, when we first caught wind of it back in 2014 and, even then, this intricate and hugely challenging slice of driving action felt as though there was something very special in its unique, almost puzzle-esque mixture of unforgiving mud obstacles and strict resource management. There w...

RoadCraft is an amazing simulation experience, but one that doesn't attempt to open its doors to mainstream audiences. Those who already love this brand of games however, will surely find something very satisfying behind the wheels of this heavy machinery.

RoadCraft is closer to building sims than to being the successor of transporting goods through difficult terrain. Perhaps thanks to this, I really enjoyed playing.

With its visual prowess, RoadCraft presents a promising foundation for a unique and engaging construction simulator. Its road construction mechanics and realistic environments are impressive. However, it also feels underdeveloped and lacking in customization, which previous Saber Interactive games have. In addition, clunky UI and a plethora of bugs ultimately hold RoadCraft back from realizing its...

Roadcraft is a wonderful game, and I can’t wait to dive into multiplayer with my friends, which is sure to be absolute carnage. The bottom line is that if you enjoyed Snowrunner, you will enjoy Roadcraft. It’s a rewarding game that offers plenty to dig your teeth into, but don’t expect major changes from its predecessor.
