Published by 04 Jul, 2022 0 likes

Have you ever taken concrete blocks to the bridge under construction, and stuck on the road and in order to pull the truck out of the mud, decided to bring another one for towing, but because of the rush, while driving, turned over the second one somewhere in the swamps?

The situation is terrible, and now we need another tractor that will pull out both cars, and the main thing is not to get stuck for the third time. If you've never seen one, you've spent too little time with your grandmother in the village and never played the Spintires series, SnowRunner in particular.

A review of this fascinating simulator is long overdue , but some PlayStation 5 users, including myself, have been waiting for Saber Interactive to release a native version for the next generation of consoles. After waiting for the release, I tested it and now I will tell you about the adaptation of the game for PlayStation 5.

The first thing that catches my eye is graphics. neat compared to the PlayStation 4 version.

SnowRunner appears to be running in native 4K resolution and stable 60 frames per second. At least during the testing, I did not notice any noticeable FPS subsidence.

And what was upsetting was a strange glitch with texture loading on the long and medium planes of the landscape. It seems to be a bug, because it occurs in random places for a while and passes by itself.

Often occurs in the first minutes after moving to the location. Perhaps it will fix the nearest patch, and otherwise the picture pleases the eye with its smoothness, smoothing and detailing.

One of the main features of the new consoles is fast downloads. SnowRunner on PS5 instantly starts and loads the main menu in about 20 seconds, it took another 5-7 to load the last save, and evacuation from the same work of authors with DualSense features.

The gamepad taps pointily in different places and sometimes accompanies a certain action with sound from the speakers depending on the situation. For example, the operation of the transmission is accurately transferred to the hands.

I myself did not drive such cars in real life, but my grandfather had a regular bus, and the neighbors — “Kamaz”, so all these clicks and taps, given in the hands, as well as various creaks seemed very familiar to me.

With its vibration and sounds, the gamepad conveys the sensations of a stretched winch, a faulty engine or a punctured wheel, which helps to immerse yourself in the work of a harsh driver of a tractor or an all-terrain vehicle. But resisting triggers or different gestures on the touch panel experts from Saber decided not to engage in any way.

Touchpad is just a button. an entire adventure where a player can flip over, lose a load, and in an attempt to get it back, get stuck in the woods.

Now all these charms are available in high resolution, with good detail and with a stable frame rate, as well as support for Dualsense chips. SnowRunner is a good game that relieves the brain and in some ways can be meditative and soothing.

Therefore, if you like trucks, want to play something not racing and at the same time you have funds in your PSN wallet or Turkish account, we recommend you to pay attention. This game is often on sale.

The non-extgen version of SnowRunner is also available on the Xbox Series X|S.
