I'm a truck driver in real life and then I play this in my bunk when I'm done driving for the day, somebody help me

This is definitely a listen-to-a-podcast-while-you-play sort of game

I played for hours and it is oddly addictive and extremely enjoyable. The graphics are beautiful and the physics surreal. I feel like a kid again playing with my Tonka truck in my backyard mud pit.

The Dark Souls of trucking simulators

That game engine. Damn. Some AAA games don't even get close.

My weed guy must be going through one of these paths because he’s taking forever damn

This guy is the best at reviewing vehicle based games.

Ah, the best game reviewer we meet again!

Luke is easily the best reviewer on this channel

I can finally experience my Dad's job.

I'm surprised IGN missed the purpose of the unlocking upgrades by level system. Each map is supposed to upgrade in difficulty level as the player progresses. The upgrade system allows the player to match their vehicles abilities with the map difficulty without making it too easy. This also encourages the player to play each map in order as opposed to skipping around. Especially with the planned DLC coming out. The developers didn't want someone just starting out at level 2 and be able to go knock out Taymyr, let alone Kola Peninsula. If by chance you do try such a feat, the difficulty level will match what the player was hopefully expecting. I played the maps in order and reached level 30 (the max level) by the time I was completing Taymyr. Even at max level the DLC Kola Peninsula is rather difficult. Michigan would be way too easy at max level. Besides this, I do however agree with the rest of the points made in this video. Well done. *Cheers*

Surprised Amazon hasn’t released a delivery version that helps train people how to remotely drive future trucks...

Considering how much I enjoyed Death Stranding, this looks right up my alley.

I remember seeing this advertised randomly before a video, normally I just skip ads but this one hooked me.

As somebody who grew up on farm horse farm for 28+ yrs (now in my 40+s) and always dealing with mud in fields, using older tractors. Waight in snow runner doesn’t help. When In in real life it VERY much can help. Depending on the vehicle/ground conditions and where your trying get too. Many years we use weighted tires, putting more weights on 2 wheel tractors so get better traction’s. As said we had few tractors that were not 4x4 and had use what we could get job done. Didn’t matter if was Harold with disc, cutting grass in soggy ground or on slop or using blade move heavy snow in 2x4 old tractor. Using chains tires/ Weights and skill. Can’t believe devs missed this. And body who grew up on farm or used farm tractors or equipment/trucks knows this. Load up big old trucks/tractors with more weight. It will help with traction, as long don't over do it and not on skinny tires and not bald tires. Do love the game but yes it’s very frustrating and feels like need another month to cook/be tweak more. The trucks engine /sound and power is very weak. Feel very under power of a 50 hp engine vs closer too 200hp for most basic v6 or v8 engines . All trucks engines need about 10 to 20% performance boost imo. They all feel like law-morrow engine then v6 or v8.

Wow the second strand type game

This review was spot on! Great job!! I like the game, but it does have some frustrating problems as you mentioned! At least in spintires and muddrunner you start off with the right gear for the job and can have fun right away.

This game looks like fun, I hope they consider VR support! It would be so cool to negotiate that rough terrain from the viewpoint of the cockpit!

This game is so much fun. Didn’t expect much when I first bought it about 6 months ago. I’ve been playing it Non stop ever since.

Haha really enjoyed spintires, then mudrunner and been playing this for about 4 hours and I'm hooked. I've rolled more than a few times. I'm a life time off roader and this is great when I've been told not to leave my home in our current situation. It's tough at first don't give up. It's worth it.

I’m oddly interested in this game. Problem is I know if I got it I’d play it for a few hours then put it to the side

Best reviewer on the channel! Might pick this game up.

Funny how the best game engine in a while has come out for a game about a truck boi.

"Trucking Hostile" by Pantera

Just started playing this game. And damn does it remind me of great games of the past. Such a rewarding game to play.

Great trucking review, Luke!

I was looking for a driving simulator for those days you just are not up to adrenaline racing. This looks just perfect... Slow but with skill involved. Thanx for the great review

It's like death stranding without BTs and 40 hours of stupidly written cinematics and bad combat. 10/10

I love this game! it's made me angry, frustated, sometimes sad, sometimes feeling ill! but that feeling... of lugging a few crates of bricks through a mountain pass, knowing pure diaster is moments around the corner should I make the slightest wrong move is so rewarding once you get it to safety, I have no idea if "real life trucking" is AS punishing as this, I think every mission in this game would be a "bad day" for a typical truck driver, but great fun, takes many hours sometimes to get anywhere, I spent the first 5 hours working out how to do a couple of missions for example.

Even though I'm quarantined with literally nothing to do it still blows my mind just how many hours it's going to take me just to finish Michigan lol.

This is the “chilled” game I’ve been looking for!

Love the Pantera pun to open the review 😂👌 Trucking Hostile! 🤘

Watching the hummer bumping around is oddly satisfying lol

Its like Death Stranding without guns

I have to admit, didn't have great expectations from this. Glad I was wrong.

IGN: "Snowrunner is punishing and sometimes merciless but rarely outright unfair" Random rock in the middle of a road: "Watch and learn amateur"

i absolutely loved MudRunner, i bought it the day it was released so i can’t wait to to get this with the season pass when they go on sale

It looks so pretty, damn.

"If its all the same to you, I'll drive that tanker."

Never thought I’d even look at this game but admittedly, some of the gameplay looked interesting.

The game is awesome! Addictive and therapeutic

For once I actually agree with an ign review. Your criticism is spot on, yet the game is highly addictive and despite its frustrating menu and map navigation I’ll probably sink hundreds of hours into this.

Well that is a competition to Death Stranding 🤔 Who would win, delivery guy simulator or delivery truck simulator

Great video, as always!! Thank you for encouraging me daily to pursue my goals!! Keep up the great work :)

Well, seeing as road trips and off roading are out, we might as well try this!

I did not expect a Peaches reference! Kudos!

I honestly kinda wanna just play this game to use the scout vehicles to go off-roading

Whoever worked in that Peaches reference: Bravo. 🤘

It's so weird, seeing bunch of gaming nerds taking intrest in what was once a niche game franchise for truck enthusiasts. Lol it's cool to see tho

In my opinion I wish the developers put a option for a manual transmission in the game that would be sick!!!!

Trucking Hostile. Noice Pantera reference there

How my parents school bus got to school simulator

This reminds me of that episode of king of the hill. You know the one that goes well with "you say run".

I never heard of this game nor do I plan on ever playing it but I'm gonna watch this review start to end.

No problems with the camera here 👌 also,what would be the point of having everything unlocked at the start? Makes you want to progress and actualy think about what tasks you can do and which ones you are too unequipped for. The only thing you could really say about the game is lack of hardcore mode (for now)

Woah. An actually beneficial review by IGN? He should have also mentioned how changing time of day and switching between trucks is basically instant (in terms of loading times)

Really interesting game haha. I like that we can get indie games on just about anything now.

This review is so accurate. All your cons are valid and are the big issues with the game and yet it’s still a solid game, if you like trucks or sims in general.

Hey IGN...Luke Reilly should read all your reviews! He's great!

This looks very frustrating, but also very rewarding when you get to your destination.

Is this one of those strand type games I’ve been hearing about?

*Alright Gameranx, where's my 'Before You Buy?'*

Can't wait to get this game.. As soon as it hits 10$ below

The music references in this are trucking awesome 😎

The gameplay of mudrunner on adrenaline and the graphics of RDR2. 10/10

Just got it for sale 27.99 on eshop. Going to have a blast playing during shining diamond and arceus breaks.

You can make a game about anything these days. But the physics are crazy!

My only gripe so far is the vehicles are extremely slow on plain paved roads. I understand the need to drive slow but on a main road in my pick up truck I'd expect my top end to be more than 15mph. Not to mention my truck is drifting at 15mph

Question...if I go and buy it on disc right now on PS4, do I have to play on inverted controls, and will I be able to switch em

Cant wait to try it out

Great reviewer and a great review.

I haven't yet gone deep in the upgrades side of things but I feel that moving through snow and mud is made a bit harder than it is in real life. I've gone in deep snow with fwd car and some decent winter tires and it goes way better than in the game with a 6x6x6 truck...

I love this game, must play guys.

15 million subscribers and you blow out everyone's eardrums with terrible audio balance. thanks for the free tinnitus IGN

The oil rig thing happened to me at the same exact spot, there is no avoiding it almost

It makes you FEEL like a truck.

Had some fun but found it very frustrating there weren’t more garages on the map and the UI is not intuitive.

I loved Death Stranding and also fairly enjoyed Euro Truck Simulator. Will I enjoy this? I already know the answer, it’s yes. The answer is yes and I’m going to get it. Thanks

One of the few accurate ign reviews

(Death stranding: truck edition) I'll give it a try, this new stranded genre seems to be on the rise.

I never knew a game like this existed ...I need it

I misread the title as Showrunner and I was really confused for a few seconds lol

I had Spintires and MudRunner and they were very cool.

I flipped the same exact truck and trailer on the same exact corner at 1:12 last night 😂

They failed to mention, this is a 100 hour game lol!

i played first time yesterday, and really enjoyed this game.

As a Pantera fan I appreciated the title

That death stranding parody trailer is what made me buy it

Gotta love a game called snow runner that's 70% mud and no snow.

Time to grab some beer and hit the road. buschhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Surprised that nobody in the comments has ever heard of or played Spintires or (Spintires) Mudrunner.

I like how this guy reviews these games on console, that way I don’t feel left out for being a console player 😂

Oh, Luke reviewed this. OK I'll watch the video

Was the title Trucking Hostile intended to be a reference to the Pantera song Fcking Hostile?

Game of the year.

I might be going on an Australian outdoorsman sort of stereotype, but the reviewers voice gives this video more authenticity for me. Just sayin’.

i will play this for sure always wanted to be truck driver

do you have to haul nitroglycerine??... love those classic films The Wages Of Fear and Sorcerer, the bridge scene in Sorcerer is just incredible.

Hideo Kojima taking tips for Death Stranding 2

Does this game work well with steering wheel or is there like an annoying delay or something?
