00:00Gotcha VR! Welcome to the show! Reviews and reveals, now you're in the know!
00:08Break it down, run the test, MetaQuest 3, don't you want the best?
00:13Step into the grid, come and raise the bar, you're locked in now, it's Gotcha VR!
00:18This is Mudrunner VR by the developers Saber Interactive, and it was released on the 30th of May 2024.
00:25About the game, the storms are fierce, face the harsh conditions of nature in your vehicle,
00:31drive through thick mud, cross rivers, drive across narrow tracks around mountain faces,
00:37rescue standard vehicles, go collect data from stations, sometimes you will need to use your
00:43winch to pull out stranded trucks or cars, or sometimes you just might need to refuel them,
00:48other times you might have to take out a truck to attach to a trailer, but whatever your mission is,
00:53plan carefully. You only have so much fuel, you can also use the 4x4 setting, but your vehicle
00:59slowly degrades as you use this. Then, if you get in the spot of bother climbing steep hills or stuck
01:05in deep mud, you can attach your winch to trees to help pull you out of these sticky situations.
01:09The story is narrated over 2D photos before and after every mission to help drive the game along.
01:15Levels and size. There are 12 missions to get through in the main story mode,
01:19each one lasting anywhere between 10 minutes to an hour. The size of each mission is of decent
01:25proportion and you are free to drive around the entire map, but I wouldn't waste your fuel doing so.
01:30Each mission is beautifully designed, with gorgeous backdrops and gives a great sense of space.
01:36Once you are done with the missions, you can then go on to do free play mode for more adventures
01:41completing tasks. Vehicles. There are, I think, about 8 vehicles you can drive,
01:45each one's cabin and dashboards looking different from the other. You take the keys hanging by the
01:50sun blind and start your engine. You have control of the headlights and windscreen wipers. You have
01:55a programmable sat-nav, handbrake, gears and then two-wheel or four-wheel control. Then,
02:00on the outside, there's a fuel cap to open and you can put the fuel in. Also, a winch at the front
02:06and the back to either attach to trees or to help you on missions or to pull or tow cars or trucks.
02:11Mechanics. For most part, the mechanics are great. The things I had problems with the most were the
02:17steering wheel. It often wouldn't hold on to it and then trying to move the sat-nav map. This would
02:22be quite tricky nearly every single time I tried to move the map around. I also have a problem with
02:27my character kept ducking down. To duck is to click in the control stick and I think sometimes when walking
02:33I would accidentally click the stick. Not a huge issue, but the character takes so long to duck and to
02:39stand up that it becomes frustrating. But in general, most of the game was just fine.
02:44Controls. The controls are simple enough. Triggers to accelerate or reverse, grab buttons to change
02:50gears and pick stuff up and holding on to the steering wheel. Game menus. Game menus offer story
02:56mode, free play mode and then settings for music, sound effects and engine volumes. Then there's comfort
03:02settings offering locomotion options, controller options, look direction options, turn type and speed
03:09and then you can also adjust your steering wheel angle and decide if you want the gas pedal left
03:14or right. Everything is displayed on a chalkboard in your garage. My thoughts. So I really enjoy playing
03:20this game through a lot more than I expected to. It had been sitting in my library for around six months
03:26and every time I just passed it on by because I didn't believe I would enjoy it. But there is something
03:30nice and relaxing about playing Mudrunner. There's no clock ticking down or no one is out to murder you.
03:37You just kind of plod along at your own pace, enjoying life. I really would have liked to have seen an active
03:42weather system in this game though. Like the actual storm, see some rain and heavier rain, maybe even snow
03:49instead of it just looking nice all the time. Also, having some night missions would have been really cool.
03:54Then some extra challenges such as maybe having to cross a river by driving your truck onto a log boat
04:00or having to negotiate going down some really steep rocky terrain without flipping the car over.
04:05Regardless, this is still a great game and an enjoyable game. It won't be for everyone as it's a
04:11slower pace game, but you can sit on your ass and play this one through. So overall, I mark Mudrunner
04:18a 9.6 stars. Now please hit that like button if you enjoyed this video. Come be part of the
