Pure Rock Crawling

Not much physics about it. Grib is unlimited. All that matters is clearance, approach/breakover/departure angle, and positioning. No real progression. Can have everything you need unlocked after about 30 minutes. Gameplay is repetitive and boring. No real challenge, if you have any experience with real off road driving. Cones will at times detect hits when no where near them, and at times completely ignore you touching them. The idea of the game is great, and could be a good one, but the execution is lacking.

coming from 100s of hours in Snow Runner, this game is genuinely fantastic. Only, ive completed every course to at least 95% in around 5 hours.. Id love more maps

Well this is surprisingly fun and challenging. Cool basic meaningful customization. Looks great and runs smooth. no crashes at all. definitely Worth the 15 bucks. Especially because of all the AAA trash of 2025

After about one and a half maps, I can already tell this game has basically zero challenge. I’m not even sure it’s meant to. The physics are fun enough, and some of the vehicles are cool, but overall this feels like pure indie slop. It’s the perfect second-monitor game since it requires almost no attention whatsoever. 5/10.

Unfortunately, I can't recommend Pure Rock Crawling in its current state. It's not that the game isn't fun — the actual rock crawling can be enjoyable, and there’s definitely a good foundation here. The problem is that there is almost no sense of progression. Everything seems to be unlocked right from the start, so there’s very little incentive to keep playing or work towards anything. The money system also feels pretty pointless when there isn't much to actually unlock or work towards. On top of that, a lot of the details you'd expect from a proper off-road game are missing. There doesn't seem to be any meaningful crash damage, the vehicles don't really get dirty, and I didn't even encounter much mud, which is pretty disappointing for a game focused on off-roading. There are a lot of aspects that need to be reworked or expanded. Progression, vehicle damage, dirt/mud effects, the economy, and generally giving the player more reasons to keep playing would go a long way. That said, I do think the game has potential. The core idea is fun and there's a solid foundation to build upon. With enough updates and some deeper systems, this could become a much better rock crawling experience. For now though, I'd recommend waiting and seeing how the game develops.

Tiny, clunky, uninspired. It feels like it was designed by someone that can't drive or code.

Very fun crawling game, runs and looks great on SteamDeck!

To be clear, this appears to be a dead game. That said, it's the best thing available right now to play rock crawlng. The mechanics are solid, the vehicles are tunable and responsive, and the terrain is pretty realistic. Just be aware that there probably isn't going to be any further content made for the game.

best game ever
