Pure Rock Crawling
Let’s start with the countless hours of spin tires, mudrunner and beam NG i’ve played to get my rock crawling fix. IRL i own a 08' JK on one tons/40’s, but have to travel far to wheel. Having a game dedicated strictly to just the art of crawling is amazing because i may not get the full satisfaction i get from the real thing, but these sims are the closest thing. This game specifically will be much better than those counterparts because it’s strictly dedicated to crawling rather than a logging road or a crash dummy course. If crawling interest you, then i believe you should most certainly purchase this game and support the great work this dev have put into this games current state. Which it’s in great shape and hopefully continues with the same momentum with your support ;)

[EDIT: 11/1/21018 Originally I said that the physics made the cars feel as if light, miniature cars. I no longer feel that’s the case. Not sure which update is the cause, but it did a great job of crreating the feeling of full size, full weight vehicles. VERY NICE!
–—————————————————
Pure Rock Crawling is one of those games on Steam that calls out for a three-tier rating system. There’s plenty of good (and some not so good), so I decided to enjoy the best, and rate based on the game concept and hopes that come with all Early Access games. Thus, a positive rating, and every hope for a brighter, larger future.

OVERPASS™
This game is FUN. The graphics are awesome, the engine/sound effects are very satisfying, and there is around 40 hours of engaging gameplay in conquering everything it has to offer. The career mode is a little on the thin side, but there is a good variety of tracks and the finals offer a number of fresh obstacles to take on.
The physics are excellent. They are not broken like some claim. There is just a bit of a catch 22 in the career mode: you need upgrades in order to even finish some of the tracks offered, but you cannot get the upgrades without making a decent time and coming in third. I was able to work around this by tackling what tracks I was able to, unlocking upgrades along the way, and retiring from events that I simply could not do. In this fashion I was able to eventually get some better vehicles and upgrades and make great times on all the tracks.

I do love this game. I never leave feedback but I felt I enjoy it enough I should. The other reason im leaving feedback on the game is. It is different than most games. I feel I have played every other style of game out there. This one is different and its a good different. I dont feel im playing the same game just renamed like i do most of the time. I often go riding in the mountains and its a true passion of mine. When I cant go riding this is the next best thing.
Do I feel its a true sim? Its very close without real broken bones. I do see a few minor issues. But overall it is a game and getting a game this close when it comes to slow technical riding is a chore im sure. I do get stuck on a random small rock every once in a while that irritates me.

The Legend of Bear-Truck Trucker
I spent the weekend absolutely obsessed with this game. A very simple premise, and incredibly charming in its own quiet way. There’s some real min-maxing depth available here, and lots of laughs (with the occasional heartbreak) in the physics. Highly recommended for those stretches of time where no other games seem to stick and you just don’t know what to play. You want to play this :)

Even tho I’ve only Played this for 3 Hour’s NONSTOP there’s something primal inside all of us that need’s to stack & organise everything otherwise known as OSD

But it’s so good I have to shout it out now
Might even try 2 convice Captin Sause to play it
10/10 Would Bear again

Rocky Ride
Important bit: I enjoyed playing Rocky Ride
The game consists of racing tracks to get trophies, gold or otherwise. You also win money for good race finish position, and pick up coins and get coins for knocking other contestants off the track. You get to choose whether to spend coins on speed, acceleration or handling. The controls are so-so, the car control gets better once you’ve upgraded it via spending the coins earned.
Story: No story.
Graphics: I hope you like bloom and over-saturation!

Remember the 90s, back when we all had a local pizza parlor with an arcade and we had to beg our parents for quarters? Rocky Ride is something you might see if we had modern arcades that didn’t cost a dollar per play. Its beauty is in its art style and simplicity, and it’s a game that’s here to serve niche fans.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n3cuNe5c46E
My gameplay will tell you more about whether Rocky Ride is right for you than anything I could say. It’s a modern take on the old style arcade games, and either that’s your cup of tea or it’s not. And that’s okay. You’ve just got WASD movement controls and a rearview mirror that you’ll never use, but the braking and reverse are more responsive than in any other racer I’ve played. Jumps are cinematic. Loop-de-loops are fun but require momentum you sometimes won’t have. Mines are satisfying to wreck your opponents.

SnowRunner
The SpinTires/MudRunner series has finally become a full fledged game. SnowRunner brings map exploration and change to a new level with the ability to improve and repair disaster struck areas. The trucks have a high level of customization and unlocks to make them increasingly capable as you delve into stickier situations. Finally, the map sizes and routes require planning in the late game to ensure you bring the right tools for the job; don’t prematurely lose your load; and make it to the finish line with more than fumes in your tank.
– Real player with 427.2 hrs in game
Snow runner is the much anticipated sequel to Mud runner, the third game in the spintires off road simulation series, and this new installment takes the spintires concept from being a curious toy to a full fledged game. Quite a monumental leap to say the least. I won’t be covering many of the things that stayed the same from mud runner, as I already made a review of it.
It does this mainly by adding a new progression system. Trucks and upgrades are now earned through money, an XP level system, and scavenged from the maps as you play. In some ways, this makes the game into a bit of a metroidvania type of ordeal. There are many areas starting out that you simply cannot reach with your current equipment. And that can be rather frustrating to someone unfamiliar with spintires. Your biggest enemy is yourself if you don’t know what your trucks can and cannot do. Many judgement calls will have to be made. Especially when doing a super heavy haul contract with early game equipment.

Offroad Horizons: Arcade Rock Crawling
This game is awesome! I’ve been wanting to have a game like Offroad Horizons for a very long time now. The rock crawling aspect of this game is simply fine tuned. And the physics of the vehicles is so realistic. I’m having a blast rock crawling on the trails which are soo beautiful by the way.I also love how areas on the trails get hairy and would need your complete focus and would need just the right amount of throttle response to get over the obstacles. Do yourself a favor and get this game you’ll definitely have fun rock crawling on the trails!

Fun, challenging, but most of all ADDICTING!! This is one of those games you WILL put some serious hours in. It’s definitely well worth it for an Early Access game. The most important of this game is the mechanics/physics, and it works really well! Driving and handling is really fun. Another thing I want to point out is the GRAPHICS!! I’m not that far into it but in what I’ve seen so far the levels are really pretty and well designed. I’ve only played about 3 hours thus far but I haven’t come across any bugs yet. My only suggestion is the possibility of adding a desert level? Would be nice to see a jeep drive through it hehe :P

Emergency Road Services Simulator
https://store.steampowered.com/app/1250090/Car_Thief_Simulator/
https://store.steampowered.com/app/1149620/Gas_Station_Simulator/
Emergency Road Services Simulator is a new approach to learning how to solve problems with a car on the roads. The game will allow you to run your own small roadside assistance business and climb to the top of your mobile mechanic career. You will take part in various support tasks on the road, with different levels of difficulty, and at any time of the day. It does not matter if it is just replacing a light bulb, a flat tire, or resetting an error from the computer. You have to deal with the problem on the spot! Well, unless it is impossible, then you will need a tug and a repair team.
Playing the role of a roadside assistance worker, our challenge will be to repair cars in harsh road conditions. When called to order, we will have to diagnose the problem well, first away from the scene, and then on the spot. The tools you take with you will be key to solving the task.
Each repair will have an impact on your company’s reputation level. It is the client who will judge whether he is satisfied with your services or if you end up on his blacklist. Your reputation level will affect the number of consecutive orders, which will translate into cash that you can earn. As your reputation and wealth grow, you will be able to expand your business by purchasing new support vehicles, expanding your garage, expanding the scope of services, obtaining new licenses, or hiring new employees.
There are many unique types of glitches in the game. You will be able to choose from among the offers of services, as long as you obtain the appropriate licenses for them, expand your workshop or hire specialists. You’ll be able to face real day-to-day problems such as replacing a bulb, changing a wheel, charging the battery, breaking the clutch, refueling, helping with crashes and accidents, and much more.
You can do repairs only in the field. Your people will take care of everything in the workshop, so choose the right team and build your road services empire!

-
Various road missions
-
Repair mini-games
-
Business management system

Shred! Remastered
I would recommend this game to any mountain bikers out there. If you dont like mountain biking irl then I would NOT suggest this game because you probably wouldnt understand alot of the mechanics. NOTE: If you disagree with this review dont say its not helpful because thats not how that rating system works.
Pros:
Feel (once you get used to the controls its really flowy)
Challenge
Level design
Mechanics (although there not true to real life)
Animations
Tricks ( Feels fucking awsome to through huge wips and do nac nacs :D)

I deeply enjoy playing this game. I purchased both this version and the mobile version a long while ago, both of which I enjoyed playing through and would reccommend to anyone who enjoys biking or gaming. When playing with a controller the stick sensitivity was an issue for me, so a sensitivity bar in the options menu wouldn’t go amiss (unless i’ve missed one somewhere), also I really like the first person camera, and spent a good half an hour-45 minutes playing 1 level over and over just because I enjoyed it so much. In order to fully enjoy this I feel that this may require some patching and control changes, such as forward and backward on the sticks on a controller, instead of left and right. Other than these small issues (and a couple of bugs, which, lets be honest, are HILARIOUS), this game is awesome and I love it to bits. :)
