RoadCraft

tl;dr Nice game for coop session with your friends over 30 yelling at each other while flipping the cargo x2 size of the bed or watching from camera AI car driving without AWD and diff lock, with a few quirks ----------------------------------------------- I had to buy this for my 3 friends so beware of sunken costs :cry: ----------------------------------------------- Pros: -Unexpected and not advertised for me - watching AI driving from the car POV could be meditative, and actually babysitting them is fun. Correcting mistakes in route planning is pretty fun. We played in Discord and cheered our little guys on long windy routes to castle on map Sunken. A lot of sweat and wooden bridges for that road, lol -Paving the road is engaging too. Has some stages, not too overly-complex, simple to do. Yet much cooler in co-op. In solo it is much more time-consuming -Much more tutorialized that previous games. F.ex. in Snowrunner I couldn't pass 1st map starting progression for a long time until we got specific upgrades for the cars - nobody mentions that they like a Castlevanial locks for the mud hills lol. Not here! In fact you'll regret how much tutorial it is, but you can disable it, so all is cool -Maps are still cool, I think! -Works on Steam Deck. I've played there a bit, but on a small screen everything looks like a toy, so I recommend that you play it on big screen if possible Cons: -Tutorial sequence is odd. Mechanics that are most advertised and core to the game(road pavement etc) are introduced only on map 2! First map introduces only 1st feature that is not related! to that - it's AI truck route planning. But you still have to spend like 1-4 hrs in first map, more to the 4 while you don't have a clue what to do. -More like my preference, but - no ability to do manual road plan for a road, which could improve solo experience. Just parking vehicles in the start and end zone like in quest provided routes would be such a QoL thing to have for solo players. In coop it's not a problem, as if you have friends, even better - 4 of them, then you can pave the road in one go as you need 4 vehicles moving in sequence through the road to do that. -Hard mode was more of a back thought after community woes I think, so I don't recommend playing in that mode tbh So I salute you all who passed this first test of patience and implore others to move on to map 2 asap if you're not --------------------------------------------------- For Snowrunner guys looking if they want to buy it: It is not the game about driving muddy road, getting stuck and rolling from every pebble as Snowrunner is, so that's that. It's more AI route planner and road paver \ light resource mover kind of game. You can barely stuck. It is ok in my opinion to have a change for once, but for all you hardcore Snowrunner guys - it's not that if you're looking just for it. Well, you already know I guess as it's like a year in release but whatever. It is good on it's own merits though. So if it's not your cup of tea I guess wait for discount to try and plow through maps 1 and 2 as fast as possible - then game opens much more, and maybe you'll like it!

As an old heavy equipment operator this game goes great with my morning coffee.

Ich finde das Spiel sehr cool, obwohl ich mir am anfang sehr unsicher war. Fallls ihr euch nicht sicher seit, ob euch das spiel gefällt, empfehle ich auch sehr die kostenlose Demo. Ebenfalls wird auch der Spielstand von der Demo übernommen, was ich sehr gut finde.

Good Game but needs more depth with updates. And for god sake Devs need to start imnproving Simulation experience and introduce + expand game mechanics and systems As this game is not solely about completing straightforward objectives, the fun comes from doing the "Process"

Guten Tag zusammen. RoadCraft ist (meiner Meinung nach) zwar herausfordernder, jedoch für mich persönlich ein sehr cooler Simulator. Es erinnert mich auch an die Zeit, als Tom (leiblicher Bruder) und ich Expeditions:A MudRunner Game (Demo) spielten. Der Grund für die Rezension ist, dass ich gerne einen Einblick zu meinem neuen PC geben möchte. Das coole an RoadCraft ist auch, dass man keinen Zwang hat, um "täglich anwesend" sein zu müssen. Es ist eher die "Neugierde nach Herausforderungen".

First attempt: couldn't exit the map. Restart. Happened again. Restarted a second time, finally worked. Second attempt: hooked up the wheel, pedals, and joypad that work flawlessly with Farming Simulator, RoadRunner, and SnowRunner. Didn't work here because they aren't Logitech. Fell back to a PS4 controller. Axis inverted — pushing up on the stick raises the grab instead of lowering it. Went to settings to flip it. The setting doesn't exist. Devs couldn't be bothered to stick a ! in front of a variable based on a toggle. Googled it — people were complaining about this a year ago. Still no fix. The game itself seems decent and I'll keep playing — but in spite of the above, not because of it. I hate the current state of game development. "Release and forget" used to be about missiles, not ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ games. At least give a ♥♥♥♥ about the thing you shipped.
