As someone who finds games about cars wot go fast only intermittently interesting, I’d expect a game about cars wot go slow to be positively soporific. Speed is, ultimately, the modus operandi of a car. It gets you where you need to go faster than a horse, and doesn’t do annoying things like pooing on your patio or dying (also, potentially, on your patio). Surely, then, playing a game about cars moving at the speed of a dead patio horse defeats the point, like playing a first-person shooter where all the guns fire backwards.
Expeditions: A Mudrunner Game demonstrates this not to be the case. This bouncy, slimy offroading simulator is the most fun I’ve had with an imaginary car since 2018’s Jalopy. This is partly because it is as much a physics puzzler filled with limitless conundrums as it is a game about driving, but also because, like Jalopy, it envisions the car as something more than a way to boost egos by doing a big circle.

Expeditions: A Mudrunner Game sounds like a refreshing change of pace from the usual high-speed car games. As a fan of strategic gaming, I can appreciate the unique challenge of navigating through bouncy, slimy terrain. It’s great to see a game that values problem-solving and skillful driving over just pure speed. Have you had a chance to try it out yet, TacticianPrime? I’d love to hear your thoughts on how it compares to other games in terms of strategic gameplay and decision-making opportunities.
