For $5.50 (what I paid) I'd say it's worth it Think of it as a truck themed survival game. It's jenkier than ATS or ETS2, but it has a bunch of features people have been dying for in those games. It kinda reminds me of My Summer Car, though without any story or the crazy brutal punishments. You start at the beginning of summer, so you can get acclimated to the game before experiencing winter. For me, this built a lot of anticipation that the game only somewhat lived up to once I reached winter. I talk about this more in the winter section below. General Thoughts/Issues [*]I really liked the photography/viewpoint gameplay, it was a fun way to explore the map. [*]Good lord I need cruise control. [*]I had to edit users/[USERNAME]/AppData/Local/ATS/Saved/Config/WindowsNoEditor/GameUserSettings.ini to get the game to run at full resolution, specifically setting the line sg.ResolutionQuality to 100. Before this, it was a blurry mess, and after this it looks fine, but at least it isn't blurry. [*]It's also crazy that I have to restart Steam after playing this game, as the game doesn't quit nicely on Kubuntu, instead automatically restarting when I quit it, and keeping Steam from doing anything else. I am not sure how this works, but it's annoying. EDIT: This bug has become intermittent. Still annoying of course. [*]I wish controller support were better, I'm just using KB+M at this point. With a controller I couldn't back out of interactions like connecting trailer cables, and I couldn't figure out how to map that button. EDIT: There's an invisible look point to back out. [*]I generally like how the game drives. The trucks feel pretty weighty, they way they loose grip feels ok. They probably stay upright better than irl trucks, but I don't mind that in a game of this style. [*]Connecting the trailer cables is one of my least favorite parts of the game. I think plugging in/unplugging the cable should be one action instead of unplug, then re-plug. I also think there should be an additional animation for climbing over to the other side of the truck while doing cables. [*]So far, roadblock events (downed trees) have been complete non-events, I just drive around them without even slowing down. EDIT: Buy the chainsaw and clear the roads, it's good XP. [*]The map seems to be designed by someone who does not live in the US getting a description of US roads over the phone with a bad connection. It's thoughtfully designed and fun to drive around, but there are some oddities that you would not see on real American roads. Eg. yellow dashed lines separating lanes traveling in the same direction, and some odd placement of street signs. [*]I can't figure out how to check tire wear. Is there even a tire wear system? [*]I love how the Ice Roads DLC links into the main map without a loading screen. I do wish more deliveries took me there though. [*]I'm not a huge fan of how the wipers look. When they're on, no rain/snow hits the windshield where the wipers run. There's also no intermittent wiper setting. I'd love to see a windshield wiper rework. [*]It's kinda weird where the game decides to be hand hold-y. Like it tells me where to pull up to the gas pump which is obvious without the guide, but when I look at the wipers it gives me no indication of how worn they are. [*]Good lord does blown suspension not behave like blown suspension irl. It is sorta entertaining, but man is it wonky. Winter Thoughts/Issues [*]Deform-able snow is neat, but it resets nearly immediately after you drive through it. The cars leave tracks, but they're intermittent and also disappear immediately. [*]I'd love to see billowing snow powder behind the truck when you're driving through deep snow. [*]Why are sports cars driving around in snow up to their windows? [*]Nearly none of the roads are ever plowed or have compacted snow, even in the largest cities in the game, which is weird. [*]Windshield wipers freeze to the windshield, even when the heater is on. Maybe this is realistic, but I can say it doesn't happen to me irl at minus 5 fahrenheit. [*]There's a bug where my guy takes his jacket off, even though I didn't tell him to. I have to un-equip and re-equip it to make it work. [*]Some of the ice roads in the DLC just don't make sense. Why am I offroading this highway spec truck through the mountains when there could just be an ice road on the lake, or a ferry in the summer. It's fun gameplay I guess, but it just doesn't make logical sense to me. Maybe that's how it is irl, but idk. [*]Snow and stuff hits the windshield all winter, even when it isn't snowing. This was just annoying. At least I already had to keep my wipers on all the time to prevent them from freezing to the windshield. [*]Wipers could freeze to the windshield when the windshield wasn't frozen, and I couldn't free them by scraping the windshield, as the windshield wasn't frozen. I had to replace them. In summary, the game has a lot of issues, but I was able to enjoy it despite those issues for the low low price that I paid.

i just recently bought the game and so far im impressed with this game and all the little mechanics involved like manually attaching the trailer going to the grocery store to get clothes and food and also popping the hood to refill liquids and do repairs. for a small team this is more than 7 dollars is worth. dont let the mixed reviews deter you although with all the optimization reports id only recommend if you have a medium to high end pc

(edit: I advise only buying this game when on sale for under 10 bucks due to the issues mentioned below that have not been addressed by the devs.) I was pleasantly surprised by how immersive this game can be. I play ATS and ETS and love them but wanted to try this with its interactive features: maintaining your truck, shopping and keeping stock of things for winter etc. Also wanted to try the ice roads. Although graphically it isn't at the level of the other two, the devs have put a lot of thought and time into this game. Using a steering wheel, the feedback is nice and firm and the steering feels natural. I hardly had to mess with settings to fine tune it. The game doesn't support track IR. The AI drivers are pretty terrible and will slam into you, but it is fun to see them spin out as you whirl around to avoid them. If an AI driver slams into you and it is not your fault you still get penalized... Scenery pop in is very late even though I have it set high. Vegetation will pop in just in front of my truck sometimes. Over all I think it's a fun game but apparently it's left for dead so get it on sale

So at first yeah graphics are a little on the old side but if you have played Ats or Ets you will appreciate what this game has to offer. Driving might not be as great either but, the weather, seasons, getting out of your truck being able to maintain, repair and put on chains yourself just really makes you feel there and in the game. The progression aka point system keeps you going and the weather difficulty makes you wanna take on the challenge. the survival aspect is on par, not too hard and not too easy. What I want more is more roads more maps and more trucks. Maybe down the road they can update graphic engine. Co-op would be nice but lets not push it. This could be a masterpiece no one else can match. I am excided for new update already too. Haven't had any crazy bugs, did crash on me in demo but no crashes in 4 hours of the base game. If you like trucks give it a shot and give it time. It will grow on you!

This game has a lot of potential! When I bought this game it was great but it becomes so repetitive. I love the map scale, the vehicles and the customization options. The AI traffic could use some work. They'll just hit you even if they have enough distance to stop/yield. The UI could also use some work as well. It's not a deal breaker for me but most games i play that measures character stats (ie.; health, fuel, hunger, etc) use bars. I find it hard to know how much fuel to put in because I have no info on how much fuel the truck takes. Like i said, not a deal breaker, I just like to manage my vehicle and money by knowing the details. I do love how this game has a detail that American Truck Simulator and Euro Truck Simulator 2 are missing that the community has been wanting forever; The ability to stop and sleep anywhere. I do recommend this game for others. If it was based on a star system 0-5, I would give this a solid 3 Stars (Needs Improvement). I wouldn't recommend something that is under 3 Stars. As stated before this game has potential and I hope the devs are listening to the community.
