I got there, struggled to load up my truck again but then managed it. I tried again, slowly trudging to the logging station again.

I eventually made it to the logging station and after figuring out how to load up my truck I realised I had the wrong bloody equipment attached. I crossed a stream, using my winch to pull me towards the trees that lined it, struggling to maintain even a basic walking pace in my truck. Up until this point I had stayed on the paths that the map showed but now there was no path. I stopped for fuel because, having floored the pedal for the whole time, I had used a fair portion of gas up. I swapped DualShock controllers to make sure my first one wasnвЂ™t broken in some way. Some ten minutes later, I was barely half way there having driven less than a kilometer. Its wheels churning up the mud that the in-game map claimed was some sort of path. My truck was moving rather less quickly than I can run. I set off from my base towards the logging station. I could explain the game mechanics further but hereвЂ™s my exact experience of the game. Rinse and repeat until the mission is over. This generally involves picking a truck, taking it to a logging station, loading it with logs and then taking them to a lumber mill. You drive trucks and your main job is the deliver logs across the various maps of the game. The gameвЂ™s short tutorial explains the premise. The game is infact one of those simulator games that are so popular these days and, as with the rest of those games, it puts realism front and centre of the experience but places fun somewhere at the back. The title would easily fit an off-road racing game featuring ATVs and it evokes thoughts of spinning tires, splashing mud and general chaos and a quick look at the gameвЂ™s Metacritic profile across PS4, Xbox One and PC suggests that it is well-liked and this is why I chose to give the game a chance to prove itself to me because if it turned out to be great then thatвЂ™s all good but if I continued to dislike it then itвЂ™s up to us that you know exactly what type of game this is. Spintires: Mudrunner is almost misleading. If youвЂ™re reading this and absolutely love this game and the series it is from then yes, I know. How do you review a game that is apparently good at what it does when you hate almost everything about it? Well, this is my homework for the week so letвЂ™s see how I get on. That said, IвЂ™ve perservered because fairness matters and this has been one of the hardest reviews IвЂ™ve ever written.

But sometimes you redeem a review code and you have to see it through.

IвЂ™ve never romanticised the idea of being a truck driver on the open roads and back routes of America (even less so the Eastern European mudlands of this game) and roughly sixty seconds into firing up Spintires: Mudrunner I had that dreaded feeling of вЂIвЂ™ve made a terrible mistakeвЂ™ that hits all reviewers when they realise that they are now committed to reviewing a game that is very unlikely to prove their first impression wrong.
