SNOWRUNNER

-

We reckon the name Snowrunner implies a level of speed and dynamism that isn’t really present in this off-roading sim. Perhaps ‘Snowcrawle­r’ or even ‘Snow Slowly Being Fossilised In A Peat Bog’ might be more appropriat­e.

Don’t get the wrong idea though, Snowrunner, out on PS4, Xbox One and PC, is excellent. It’s just excellent at a glacial pace. This isn’t about clipping apexes to save half a second, it’s about clipping your winch to a tree to save half an hour in a ditch.

Snowrunner certainly isn’t the most glamorous driving game you’ll play this year. It doesn’t matter, though, because there’s a pleasure to besting the elements in your battered 4x4. Lumberjack shirt and voluminous shaggy beard optional... Mike Channell
