In many ways, the MudRunner series (including SnowRunner and its companion game in this preview, Expeditions: A MudRunner Game) is one of the most unique car games on the market. Because while the premise is about driving typically large and powerful cars, the actual gameplay is very similar to a climbing game. You have to take your time, think methodically, study the environment, and traverse it with as little stress or danger as possible to complete the task at hand.
It might sound easy when you’re in a four-wheel-drive, diesel-powered monster, but with the sophisticated physics engine at the heart of this game and the highly detailed environments and levels, getting from point A to B was never that easy to click on . I know this because I recently had the opportunity to hands-on Expeditions: A MudRunner Game, where I was able to explore a large portion of the Little Colorado map and even experience the more complex maps of Arizona and Carpathians.
If you’ve ever played SnowRunner or MudRunner, you’ll feel right at home with this game. Sure, the idea is a little different, but the basic premise of making your way through challenging terrain and using a variety of devices to illustrate overcoming otherwise impossible cliffs and crevices remains. It’s essentially an environmental puzzle game that requires you to customize your vehicle and use the techniques at your disposal to wade through water, climb down and up mountains, and even escape swamps and muddy pits.
What Expeditions allows you to do is that you can adjust your vehicle’s wheel drive, change tire pressure, shift gears, activate water depth sensors or place anchors and use a winch to ensure you don’t venture into dangerous deep water or you can safely slide down cliffs. You can even use a drone or binoculars to look ahead and plan the path of least resistance. That might not seem like too much of a challenge, but the physics engine implemented here by Saber means that every rock will affect your vehicle, every puddle will slow you down, and if you don’t approach this world carefully and methodically, you can damage your vehicle or even write it out completely. Since repairing damage costs money and fuel, equipment and other resources also incur financial costs, expeditions are all about successfully achieving your goals as efficiently as possible and as quickly as possible.
So you’re wondering: What tasks should players complete in Expeditions? These activities can include a variety of different transportation activities. Sometimes it’s about transporting equipment from one location to another, maybe it’s about exploring a location, or even more important tasks like towing a broken down truck back to an outpost. No matter the task at hand, you need to properly equip your vehicles and even upgrade them regularly so that they can withstand increasingly demanding jobs. Finally, you can also purchase and unlock completely new vehicles, whether it’s a large pickup truck, a Jeep, or a small hatchback. Each vehicle falls into an overarching category, and as you may have guessed, hatchbacks serve as scouts.
The reason why you choose to go into the wilderness with the Scout type is because Expeditions supports a free-roam mode where you freely explore the environment, unlocking new shop locations on each map and using along the way A metal detector can even discover some secrets. The task can be made easier, for example. In this mode, the world is truly your oyster. When you combine all of these factors with analogous elements such as: There is considerable depth to Expeditions, such as hiring the right experts to unlock new skills for use in the wilderness and instructions on how to improve your camp to open up new opportunities for exploration.

But all those extra doodles and things are just a bonus. The heart of the game revolves around the physics engine and environmental design, which really challenge players as they explore the world. During my time with the preview, I often felt like the game was some kind of tech demo, just meant to show how complex movement in video games can be when everything is turned up to 11. If your tire gets caught on a small tree branch, it may feel excessive and can be frustrating, but anyone who has ever driven a car in real life knows how real this situation is, and you have to give Saber credit for that to use it Something that creates expeditions.
Will Expeditions: A MudRunner Game provide endless hours of entertainment for all players? maybe not. You have to want to have this experience to understand what this game is, but if this kind of gameplay is your thing, Expeditions hopes, based on what I’ve played so far and the support that MudRunner and SnowRunner have received over the years To judge, it will be a great addition to the vehicle exploration video game space.
