This proves utterly frustrating in the game’s challenge mode, which puts you on a route with clear directives. It’s a real triumph when you defeat your obstacles, but it isn’t always an easy, nor fair, ask. A wheel out of place going up a rocky outcrop? Say goodbye to your cargo. Crossing a river? The current could be strong enough to see you marooned. If there’s a thrill to be had here, then it most certainly comes from the knowledge that even the simplest deviation can be the root cause of your hauls demise. It’s no shock to say Spintires requires a bundle of patience and a steady hand. Unlike the cross-country motorway deliveries of say, Euro Truck Simulator, there’s little in the way of proper roadways here, and over time, the terrain your journey takes you on only gets more hostile, requiring vehicles suited to the job at hand. The game leans heavily into simulation, with the psychics of everything being of utmost importance, especially where all that mud comes into play. Essentially, Spintires is like a reboot of Santa’s Christmas run where the snow and elves are swapped out for quagmires and bleak rural Eastern European towns, and the gifts are a bit less exciting. While Spintires is ostensibly about driving, it’s core appeal is the struggle of delivering goods in the face of countless, daunting obstacles.
If you’ve seen one of the hundred or so reality shows about Extreme/Gnarly/Tubular/Gruff Daredevil/Super Truckers then you’ll know the drill. What Spintires actually asks of you is to haul goods across some of the most unpleasant, undrivable terrain imaginable.
