As someone who has spent the vast majority of my life playing games, tutorials are something I, like many others, find exceptionally tedious, but instead of doing my usual habit of spamming every button in a hope to skip the dreaded tutorial, this time I found myself going back over things just to make sure I got it right. That is in part due to how helpful the tutorial actually is. Whilst Spintires: MudRunner gives you enough information to be getting on with things on your own, there is an awful lot to take in if you want to be doing more than simply spinning your tires and causing ruts, something which felt a little overwhelming at first but became much easier when I started to get the hang of things. The tutorial teaches you all the basics such as how to move your vehicle – something a lot more complicated than just accelerating and braking – as well as how to deal with specific situations, such as getting your vehicle stuck, how to change vehicles, how to repair and refuel and so on. After just a few minutes, I was grateful I did. Having heard a little about the challenge presented by Spintires in the past few months, I thought the tutorial would be a wise place to start, especially given the fact that such few off-road titles have arrived on console in recent years.

There are a few different modes available to play through with Spintires: MudRunner, with Single Player, Multiplayer and Challenges all present, as well as a trusty Tutorial to get you up to scratch. And that’s just the start of your worries. With constant mud, ruts and rivers to work through, you must utilise clever skills and an understanding of the environment to ensure you get where you need to be, without running out of fuel, destroying your vehicle or losing your load. Doing so is no easy task though, and due to severe wet and muddy conditions you will be found delivering your logs to some truly hard to reach destinations across some of the most treacherous terrains in the world. You are a delivery driver – a lumberjack of sorts – and it’s up to you to ensure the faithful delivery of logs to each of the lumber yards across the land.

Spintires: MudRunner looks to expand on that success in many ways, with those of us on console now getting to jump in on the experience too.įor those unaware of Spintires, or the new MudRunner version of the game, the overall premise is actually rather simple. Back in 2014 Spintires released on PC and quickly became a huge hit with players, with sales now reaching more than one million for the indie sensation. It’s fair to say Spintires: Mudrunner isn’t an entirely new game.
