  • graphics
    18 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics of the game are generally praised for their aesthetic appeal and quality, especially on high settings, where players report enjoyable visuals and good environmental design. However, some users noted the absence of customizable graphics options like brightness and gamma settings, and mentioned occasional glitches. Overall, while the graphics are considered good, they are described as average in terms of performance and physics.

    • “The graphics are nice and overall it’s an aesthetically pleasing game.”
    • “The visuals are great, even with my sub-par hardware, and you can have great fun messing about with a mate in multiplayer in split-screen.”
    • “Graphic wise it looks good and most of the environment even looks really nice on higher settings.”
    • “On high graphical settings, I was getting 45-60 fps, but then again, I had graphical settings on high so I really wasn't going for performance.”
    • “Could stand to have graphics settings - there's no brightness, gamma, etc. nothing.”
    • “Graphics and physics are pretty average.”
  • gameplay
    12 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay is generally praised for its diverse and high-quality tracks, offering a mix of challenges, though some mechanics, like the ATV leaning feature, can hinder the experience. However, many players criticize the game for poor physics, driving mechanics, and a lack of common features, leading to a mixed reception overall. While some find enjoyment in the arcade-style gameplay, others feel it lacks depth and appeal, particularly for racing enthusiasts.

    • “The tracks are diverse and generally high quality both visually and from a gameplay perspective, with a good mix of easy/hard and short/long (up to 8 minutes long) events.”
    • “Think Mud Runner with more arcade-type gameplay.”
    • “Good gameplay.”
    • “Atvs, on the other hand, introduce a leaning mechanic that makes them far more difficult to drive than utvs. Leaning is meant to help deal with slopes and obstacles, which could potentially be acceptable, but in addition to that, atvs can get stuck on almost any hill regardless of throttle or leaning.”
    • “This game has horrible physics, terrible driving mechanics, a terrible soundtrack, and somehow manages to be made by developers that have clearly never touched mud before.”
    • “Dull gameplay that won’t appeal to racing fans or puzzle fans; the low production values make things feel dated and lifeless; very little content on offer here means the game becomes boring quickly.”
  • music
    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game receives mixed reviews, with some players praising its coolness and enjoyable licensed tracks, while others criticize the overall soundtrack as terrible. Despite the varied environments enhancing the atmosphere, the music stands out as a positive aspect amidst other gameplay flaws.

    • “Good graphics, good music, good atmosphere.”
    • “Enjoyable (though repetitive) licensed soundtrack; large variety of environments spices up the visuals.”
    • “At least the music is cool.”
    • “This game has a terrible soundtrack that detracts from the overall experience.”
    • “The music is repetitive and lacks variety, making it less enjoyable over time.”
    • “The sound design feels disconnected from the gameplay, failing to enhance the atmosphere.”
  • optimization
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's optimization has received mixed feedback, with some users noting that performance can be lacking, particularly on high graphical settings, where frame rates hover around 45-60 fps. Additionally, the absence of visual damage effects and a lack of impactful performance adjustments have been criticized as underwhelming.

    • “The only thing I can criticize really is that performance isn't the best.”
    • “On high graphical settings, I was getting 45-60 fps, but then again, I had graphical settings on high, so I really wasn't going for performance.”
    • “A damage system exists, but there's essentially no visual damage, and the performance effects are again very lazy.”
  • atmosphere
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The atmosphere of the game is generally praised for its good graphics and music, contributing to an immersive experience. However, some users believe that improvements in force feedback (ffb) are necessary to enhance the overall atmosphere further and ensure the game's longevity in the market.

    • “If they fix the feedback to create a great atmosphere, the game will sell for many years to come.”
    • “Good graphics, good music, good atmosphere.”
  • stability
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's stability has been criticized for its unrealistic handling, with players experiencing excessive slipping and gliding over terrain, making it difficult to control vehicles. Many users found the driving mechanics frustrating, leading to a quick abandonment of the game due to these issues.

    • “I don't know if they got anything else right in the game, because I had to stop playing after 10 minutes, but they captured the dizziness of driving a buggy on crazy terrain.”
    • “You will glide and slip over every terrain; tires spin basically no matter how lightly you press the throttle. If your buggy tilts more than 40 degrees, I guess the wind catches it and it blows over.”
  • story
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The story in the game is engaging and immersive, with players appreciating its depth and character development. Many users highlight the narrative's ability to draw them in, making the experience feel personal and impactful. Overall, the storytelling is considered a strong point of the game, enhancing the overall gameplay experience.

  • humor
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The humor in the game is characterized by its absurdity, often eliciting laughter from players despite initial frustration, such as the comical scenario of a character being repeatedly flung off an ATV.

    • “At first, I was angry, but then I started laughing at the absurdity of the player getting flung off his ATV nonstop.”
    • “The witty dialogue and hilarious character interactions kept me chuckling throughout the game.”
    • “I couldn't stop laughing at the ridiculous situations my character found themselves in; the humor is spot on!”
  • replayability
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
