It has been a very pleasant surprise, its more immersive that you imagine, I felt like i was transporting goods in Mad Max, setting up settlements like in Kenshi, had characters interacting like in Rimworld, setting up supply chains like X4.

This is a game well worth the price, especially if your a fan of any of the games i mentioned above!

Thanks for taking the time to read this review and have a great day!

This is Kenshi with a big rig.

You start as a nobody with some cash and a dream of adventures on a wide post-apocalyptic road. You buy a truck, find yourself another moron willing to risk their life for money and start going around just... doing stuff - trading all kinds of goods, delivering parcels, solving disputes and helping (or hurting!) strangers you meet out there.

The game world does it's own things - settlements change hands, shortages of goods pop up here and there, the usual stuff. World economy is just a bit more interesting than in Rimworld - every settlement has limited pools of money and goods, but the prices are dynamic and change depending on how much you are getting. You can't really just go to town that makes food, buy all the food and go sell it, because at some point they won't be willing to sell it cheaply, they would want to keep some for themselves and will hike the price. Trading menu displays this nicely with an amount slider and profit margin colored red or green, so no need for napkin math, everything is accessible at quick glance.

Crew management is rather neat. Party members can like or dislike people, locations and events they find on their travels and will discuss it in their interactions, which can make them like or dislike each other. (This is another case of a system that resembles Rimworld but a bit more polished and focused, IMO). Of course, there's the usual survival fare of bars like hunger, thirst and fatigue, but also stress, which can and will make them hate one another if you let them get too upset.

I feel like I can talk a lot about this game despite only playing it for a couple of hours, because there's just so much stuff in it. There's camping, where you can make your crew socialise, cook up a meal to relieve stress or go hunting and foraging, there's extensive crafting system which can provide you with endless gear for your truck or crew, there's the truck itself, which can be upgraded, modified and needs regular maintenance like changing tires and cooling radiator, there's main quests and side quests, there's looting runs in the old ruins and settlement management (probably I haven't gotten that far into the game), just so much stuff wherever you can click.

Very, very cool game. Definitely worth checking out, especially with that price.

So far its a happy surprise, better than I was expecting. I got this within the first day of release and I will admit, its a little buggy I sold some 2000 dollars worth of stuff just to have it not come to me :p but bugs a expected even on triple A games. Great game, much more to it, than I expected. Thank you to SplatterCat, For posting a video about it!
