    Snowrunner. A great combination of both chilled-out & stressful, driving massive diesel trucks at 5mph through woods and rivers delivering logs or girders.

    The fact there’s no big story and almost zero dialog, just assignments and map markers mean it’s a superb ‘podcast’ game - something you can put it on while you listen to some podcasts / audiobooks.

    Not that the game is boring or just a distraction. It’s incredibly satisfying finding the best way to navigate through a horrendous woodland or swamp and get all your cargo through safely.

    Plus, it has some of the best landscape physics out there. Rushing water really feels accurate. Mud paths get distorted so that it’s harder to get through on your way back than before you churned it all up.

    A great game. 100s of hours I’ve sunk into that thing.

      Love SnowRunner, and i do play it mostly with podcast or stream open on second screen. Wish I could have a real manual transmission with clutch and all, chassis flexing and better asphalt friction. These would make it even more amazing
