Spintires: Mudrunner - American Wilds

American Wilds brought back the same anxiety-inducing feeling that I had when I first played MudRunner last year. And, that’s a good thing—it wouldn’t be a real Spintires experience otherwise.

    The gameplay offers a unique driving experience with strategic puzzle elements set in expansive landscapes, but it requires a solid understanding of driving mechanics, as the tutorial is minimal.

    • “The controls feel clunky and unresponsive, making it frustrating to navigate through the game.”
    • “There are too many bugs that disrupt the gameplay, leading to an overall disappointing experience.”
