Alright, I've got enough time into the game to make an honest assessment now.
What a masterpiece!
It's without a doubt the slowest driving game I've ever played, both in terms of progression and vehicle speed. It's also probably the most happily aggravating game I've ever played.
I'm playing the maps in order for the most part.. I've completed black river apart from the timed contests, I've got a good bit done on smithville dam, I've made one or two trips to Drummond Island to bring contract materials.. havnt been to Island lake or whatever yet.
The game has a way of "stealing" time from you, absolutely.
I was playing the other night, fiance went to bed around 930. Before I myself went to bed I wanted to pick up the 4 lost fuel barrels on the smithville dam map and bring them to the fuel station..
Long story short.. the next time I looked at the clock it was 330am and I was having to contend with two tipped over trucks and not even close to having completed a seemingly simple task lol.
Its nuts. I HATE staying up late. I'm old inside. I'd really like to be asleep by 9. The fact that this game had me up until nearly 4am not realizing how much time had gone by or what time it was speaks volumes.
Anyone here I bet would LOVE snowrunner. Even if the last video game they played was O.G pong.
