While Snowrunner is the newer and from what I’ve seen better game, Mudrunner is still pretty enjoyable, and can be bought really cheap, to let you get your tires muddy and determine if its a game you might like.

Also some history on the Spintires vs Mudrunner muddy history.
If you’re wondering why it’s being pitched as the incredibly clunky “SnowRunner – A MudRunner Game”, we do have some insight. Buckle up: it used to be called “Spintires”, but the game’s creator Pavel Zagrebelny and publisher Oovee had a remarkable public falling out, with a few accusations and counter-accusations flying about, stalling development for a time while payment trouble and messy patching was worked out. It was delisted on Steam during this time. Eurogamer covered a lot of that here. Ultimately, it was extracted from Oovee’s purview and ended up at Focus Home Interactive, with Pavel working with Saber Interactive, his former employers, to develop the now rechristened “Spintires: MudRunner”. The slow, but steady, rebranding as “MudRunner” is clearly them trying to step away from the original kerfuffle, and so they can claim this is “By the creators of MudRunner”. Which is a bit cheeky, but here we are.
