April 2025
This game is another 13 out of 10. Runs in 4k. Especially since in 20 years we have no such masterpiece yet available - and its $1 per FULL COLLECTION! Yes someone might say - predictible plotline, insane mode make your progress very slow. Go grow a pair pussies! Here is a hint for 4k - you start the game and make all option settings. THen exit game and go to game directory - find .cfg file there. It it you can see DEFAULT 1024 and 768 metrics - shange them to 3840 and 2160 respectively. Optionally you can change D3D from version 9 to 11-12, and FULLSCREEN from TRUE to FALSE. And there you go - BEST game of millenia, only probably succeeded by TAnkHead.

Incredible car combat adventures across mysterious post-apocalyptic Europe full of combat, truck tuning, cargo trading, defense and delivery missions, treasure seeking, and uncovering mysteries of apocalypses causes. Several different plots and endings included depending on player choice during dialogues.

An old nostalgia trip. if you wish to play the game do yourself a favor and install Community Patch/Remaster alongside Improved Storyline mod. Playing the game without any community patches will result in constant bricked saves and crashes to desktop.

I honestly wish I could put a thumbs in the middle for this game, cause it isn't necessarily a bad game, but it also isn't that great of a game either. Some parts of the game have sort of odd and kind of bad design choices, and I found myself often hitting invisible walls where it felt unnecessary, especially since you're supposed to be able to drive where you want. Combat was fun overall, but I didn't realize that different trucks had different parts in shops(oops), and the economy system worked but was a little basic.
