Lumberjack Simulator

Lumberjack Simulator

Well, after playing Lumberjack Simulator for over 44 hours now I feel I can wholeheartedly recommend it. It may have a tough learning curve due to the large amount of different vehicles and the unusual key commands, but it is so worth it after you learn the basics of a few machines. I had enough fun in the beginning of career just cutting down a few trees and running them through a chipper to make a few bucks but then you can advance through much more complex machines. There is also ‘open world’ play with easy, medium, and hard levels.

Let me first start off by saying the product I am reviewing is the Steam Early Access!

No, I was not paid to say any of this, this is all 100% my personal opinions of what I think about the game.

Detailed review or SKIP to TLDR

Who is this game for?

If you love forestry or any sort of logging or have a curiosity for it, or just would like to give yourself a challenge out in the forest, then I believe this game will be for you!

(Now, not to compare, but I am doing so purely from a review point to point out the key features that Lumberjack Simulator has over other games!)

Til Nord

Til Nord

Nominated as Game of the Year!

Til Nord is fabulously beautiful and a lot of fun.

The feel of the ride is quite good, though it seems more of my wipe-outs should be killing me when they’re not. When a wipe-out is as funny as it is in this game, I wouldn’t mind seeing a few more of them.

The ‘missions’ you are tasked with are fun, if few. The races are all quite fun and a bit challenging, but not overly so.

The scenery is incredible; just don’t give it close-up scrutiny in most places. Take in the full view, which is jaw-droppingly amazing.

Driving a snowmobile through snowy Norway. An enjoyable experience for free!

Explore!

In Til Nord you are free to explore the snowy Norwegian mountains. There is a mission-chain which can be spotted easily by the huge vertical waypoints, that the game uses to guide the way. The missions explore most of the area.

There are also races, that unlock other races when you finish with any time. All races also have an achievement for beating a certain time. This time is pretty sharp, and gives a true challenge to beat! The only time we couldn’t beat was the ‘junkyard race’, while some took many attempts.

Offroad Horizons: Arcade Rock Crawling

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!

Real player with 15.8 hrs in game

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

Monster Jam Steel Titans 2

Monster Jam Steel Titans 2

+Great physics and graphics, if you are familiar with the behavior of the CRD Monster Truck in BeamNG you will find little flaw in this, but it is Forza-esque “simcade” in that you have lots of assists on tap, making it easy to learn and hard to master.

+Responsive controls, advanced options for separate rear steering and manual transmission

+Decent wheel support, good FFB

+Fun variety of racing and stunt modes

+Great trick scoring and combo system

+Huge hub world and colorful graphics make it feel a bit like a ’90s 3d platformer but you are a monster truck.

Real player with 42.1 hrs in game

I originally wrote a positive review for the game calling it a fun arcade Monster Jam game with some neat overworld exploration. I’ve now put about 32 hours into the game and am working on 100%ing it, however I really do not think that will be possible. I’ll get to that.

First the good. If you want to drive around some Monster Jam monster trucks, then boy do I have a game for you. The driving is pretty arcadey, but I don’t hate it at all. It takes some getting used to before you stop rolling on every turn. I like a lot of the world secrets, finding them was actually pretty fun. There’s a decent truck selection, the arenas are really nice looking, it has a (very basic and underwhelming) photo mode, ect. There’s things to like about this game.

Offroad Mania

Offroad Mania

I can’t remember how I came across this game, but I am glad I did.

The Gameplay is straight forward, you spawn on a platform that is suspended in air and have to reach the finish line without falling off. The game also offers collectible trophies as an additional challenge.

You can choose if you want to play “easy” mode or “hard” mode, the latter requires you to collect all 3 trophies per level before continuing. The 60 individual levels provide a increasing difficulty level, the only aspect I didn’t like about the choice of level design is the inversion of all levels starting from level 61. You are playing through the game again but with reversed levels.

Addicting indie game where you have to traverse various obstacles to drive across the finish line
