Microprose, Triassic, take a bow. This is one of the all time epic games and it is nowhere near finished yet. Early access already has developed a wonderful playerbase and a very, very impressive modding community.

Yes, there are bugs. It's early access. Too many idiots ♥♥♥♥♥ about the bugs. With a program this awesome, I am overjoyed to have it a year early. I didn't want to wait for a finished version.

The dev who is handling the load/save part of the program is back on his feet (very happy to hear that he is recovering) and we will be able to save games. This is important as big scenarios take HOURS. Seriously, this title is marriage damaging because you just can't put it down.

The only real negative about this is the idiots who don't get what early access is and who complain too much. You are boring. Shut up.

Microprose, Triassic, Thank you for making every cold war book I read in school come alive. This is everything I imagined when I was sitting in the library at school reading Jane's all the world's warships.

Absolutely awesome. And we need modding awards already. Some of these guys are absolute geniuses.

Excellent. In the future I can see this simulator being used for training in the mining industry. It needs a few manufacturers to provide funding via licensing deals and then it will really take off. Really enjoy and I know I will spend thousands of hours enjoying this. Thank you Devs.

This is simply the funniest, most absurd, most challenging and most rewarding game I have ever played.
Its the perfect cure for Covid lockdown.

Surprised, impressed and disappointed.
The gameplay is really well done. The UI is easy and intuitive and it is actually a good challenge to play without being impossible.

But....

The physics of the boats, especially early ones, is terrible. And the game is full of easily fixed irritations.

But who cares. There is nothing else like it and I can't stop playing it. As long as the devs LISTEN to the community and give regular improvements and updates, it will eventually become a truly great game. I can really see this developing into a cult classic in the likes of Farming Simulator.

Just buy it. You won't regret it.

Jesus, Giants! The detail! The house alone would have taken hours to make. There are even dishes in the sink! Thank you all kindly for your efforts and for providing regular folk like us a window into the world of agriculture. In a world where only 1% of people are farmers that feed the rest of us, the resurgence of interest you have created in working the land for a living can only serve to ensure that there are plenty more people headed to farms to become the one percent that will feed our children.

Pavel! You did it! This game is simply awesome. It will not appeal to the average 12 year old. It is difficult! After 1800 hours on ST1, I still too NINE HOURS to complete the bog (many, many screw ups. The new mud is vicious!)

I have loved this game since I first stumbled across the tech demo. I spent so many hours on that one little map just watching the way the tyres flexed over rocks and wept tears of joy at the first game I had ever seen that had real mud that tou could actually get stuck in. The wheel rut even stay after you leave! The track that was easy the first time is now hell because you 8 wheel drive beast has turned the mud to soup.

When ST1 came out, it was very cool. It was such a shame to see Oovee drop the ball time and time again. The rumours and bulls**t started and the support faded away. For a long time, it looked like it would never recover.

And here is where I get to my favourite part of Spintires: The Spintires Community. What a wonderful, resilient and resourceful bunch! Especially the modders. My god, the detail on the mods! And the maps! So many vehicles and maps. Wonderful people too. Proud to be a part of this strange little community in the gaming world.

So, MudRunner... I am so damn impressed. It is so familiar but so very different. The original maps were never this difficult. And those bloody block posts! Just when I want to take the easy way, nope, not happening. The new trucks are awesome too. I have spent all day staring at awe as my vehicles become the River's plaything on the Crossing map. I am almoost scared to start deluge after the crossing!

To Oovee, you fools. What an opportunity lost

To Sabre, Focus and Pavel himself: Thank you. Thank you for the hard work and for taking the risk inherent in rebooting a title like this. I hope it is paying off. I cannot wait to see how the future of this game unfolds now that it is in the hands of professionals.

I had to edit my reveiw. Unfortunately my opinions have changed. Whilst Spintires is groundbreaking, the developer and Oovee are simply taking their customers for a ride. The level of underhandedness and incompetence displayed since the release of the game is inexcusable.

We have been fed lie after lie. I am tired of it. I have just had more than 20 crashes in the last hour and every time there is a new update, it is either the same or worse.

Now we have a 'Sneak peek' of the next update. After promises galore, we get pretty driveshafts.

We don't want ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ driveshafts Pavel and Oovee. We want a game that doesn't crash.

This program has not left the Alpha stage of development in more than 2 years. Unacceptable.

It is very frustrating when your favourite game gets too buggy to play. I cannot be bothered reinstalling it for the 5th time in a month.

Either get your ♥♥♥♥ together, or sell it to someone who can actually realise the games potential.
