SnowRunner is a game thoroughly, single-mindedly, in love with the open road. It just happens that it’s the kind of love that’s bred by getting that road so thoroughly under your nails, you occasionally have to wonder whether it’s actually hate. Care, attention and time will show that SnowRunner is a passion project worth putting the extra mile in for.

It’s good to see they’ve fixed the crashing but I was hoping for more. Not being able to complete tasks/missions is my biggest bugbear. At the moment I’m checking the forums to see if there are any issues before starting a job.
