I thought I would try working through my Steam backlog.
I decided to try out some slow mo driving sims for a change, I have to say, they are such a change to the usual racing sims but... they are great!
Putting some time in with Mudrunner, pootling about with a truck and getting stuck, I dunno, it draws you in!
Initially I tried driving like a hooligan, it just does not work and simply not necessary - sticking in the lower gears plodding about, works so well and you forget that driving pretty much in 1st gear remains just as challenging! It reminds me of a time, when I used to dabble with my Tamiya's back in the day. Mudrunner with an Xbox controller works very well.
So messing about with Mudrunner prompted me to try Euro & American Truck Simulator. I tried ETS a while back and it left me a bit meh. Now spending some more time, understanding what to do, piqued my interest in trying it again. Backing up a long trailer into a parking spot, sounds simple...
I am so glad I did - it is as many OCUK posters attest; these games are very addictive.
For chilled out games where you can just relax, all are highly recommended.
