It's good, the new road building mechanics and all the crane tools etc are cool at first and the offroading is nice. Although it becomes quite repetitive later and the road building for the missions is not that flexible. also it lacks a bit of depth in regards to vehicle damage (there is none)

RoadCraft is truly an impressive game. I was especially amazed by its graphics, the level of detail, and the way it builds atmosphere. The realism of the maps and the natural elements add a unique depth to the experience. However, the controls are definitely a weak point—managing the vehicles and cranes feels tough and takes quite some time to get used to. It requires patience, but the visuals and overall experience make it worth the effort.

A fantastic evolution of the series. Exceptional, with a few flaws. The Good: * I didn't think I'd like the dispatch character, but she's really grown on me. Coming from SnowRunner where the world is quiet and meditative, having someone squawk to me on a radio was a bit jarring. As time went on, I grew to appreciate her Portal1/Borderlands2 energy and just the feeling that you're not all alone in the world. * The maps are just fantastic. * Being able to terraform the terrain by digging or dumping sand is awesome. * The variety of things to do. I have a sand truck, a tree harvester, a log crane truck, an electrical line laying machine, an asphalt laying machine, a steam roller, a bulldozer, and much more - it's crazy. * I love how the missions really build on each other. The quest tree (dependencies, optionals, )...it's like a World of Warcraft level of execution here. The Neutral: * Takes a few maps before the game really hits its stride. * The AI routes got on my nerves at first. I've learned to accept them because really what they are is a way to grade how well you've built roads. Don't love them, but I understand why they're in the game. But by golly, you better not be in one's way or they'll crash into you and dump all your materials. Jerks. Notable Complaints: * The mechanics of dumping sand, and just the amount of trips for sand loads. They really should have added some sort of 'tip the truck by X degrees over Y distance' option, because trying to steer a truck around a bend while maintaining a smooth dump speed on the opposite stick is murder. * Transmissions absent from trucks. I really enjoyed having that level of control in SnowRunner, with high and low gears. I can understand with the removal of vehicle damage there was no penalty for incorrect usage (say diff lock on hard surfaces), so perhaps less opportunity to tie it to other gameplay systems. * Steering of the 'bendy' vehicles, e.g. Dozer, Log truck. * Minimization of the winch. In particular it's really annoying that the crane trucks don't have a way to right themselves, given how prone they are to tipping. In general, the scout also has far less object types it can grapple to. * The button interface can be unintuitive. For example, the crane being on two separate tabs, not being able to shift out of Low Gear because you're near a garage or resource storage, finger twister scenarios like retracting a winch while reversing a truck.
