Truckful

It's aight... This is one of those reviews that needs a MEH button. I bought this after seeing mentions of it being like the trucking version of Dredge. No, no it isn't. I had high hopes for the game but it's just too basic and simple. Once you figure out the mechanics it gets pretty boring fast. There's not a lot of depth and the enemies keep getting nerfed so much to the point they are just a slight bother more than a threat. II wanted Dredge with Trucks but got little Timmys first delivery game instead. I think it's a good base and a good idea but it needs way more depth, more dark vibes and more in depth off road mechanics. You might like this one if your looking for something simple. Like I said it's aight but I wish it was so much more.

Now after finishing it once and playing again with over 20hrs in the game I can honestly say Truckful is a extremally fun experience! It is a bit of a trucking game, story driven game and based on physics game with element of mystery. Even though solving the mystery is the main point of the game I won't be writing about it to not spoil your own experience. So basicly you drive a little pickup truck in the valley, trying to solve the secret that it's forest hides. You complete tasks delivering cargo (and people!) on your bed. Before you start a mission you have to pack your cargo carefully, especially if you still have low tier flatbed installed, because you can lose your stuff on some bumpy road. This is where surprisingly accurate physics come to play. If you have only our main character laying on your bed, it is no problem but wait 'till you have to transport tons of cargo and your bumper starts scraping the tarmac; or mud, or dirt, or fallen tree that you're driving on. If it happens it would be best to install better suspension, or larger bed to distribute weight more evenly and have a bit more space to play cargo tetris. Upgrading your truck during gamplay adds great depth …

It’s basically a budget, pseudo-isometric Snowrunner, but with a story and stylized art style. A driving game where you're stuck in a hunted zone and you deliver packages from point to point, while discovering the mystery of what happened and why the zone doesn’t let the people leave it. The good: The game map is actually very detailed. It's quite big and it has a LOT of hidden paths. Those are usually dangerous. You can explore at will and find resources to upgrade your truck, hidden lore items etc. You have 3 ability slots that you can customize to better fit the mission and the usual upgrades (engine, suspension etc) for the truck that you need to buy either with money from missions or scrap from exploration. The driving itself is excellent. The car is extremely responsive and it handles just like you would expect at all times. Every single bump or elevation makes the car react in the way you’d expect. And of course, the cargo you’re carrying is also affected by the speed/angle you’re at. It’s the main focus of the game and I’m happy to report that it is also the best part of it. The story is ok. The mystery does make me want to discover more, but the writhing is pretty mid an…

[h2] Intro [/h2] The artstyle and atmosphere of truckfull make the world a joy to explore. There are genuinely tense moments in the storymission which kept me interested to the end. A strong point of the game is the 3D inventory management, where the player needs to fit the required items in the back of your pick-up truck. During the course of the game you unlock more upgrades to your truck which allow you to access new areas or increase performance or inventory space. [h2] Room for improvement [/h2] My main complaint with the game would be that these elements, the inventory management and upgrade system, are lacking in depth. The shapes of the objects you need to fit in the truckbed are just various size boxes. If there were more Tetris-style shapes, like T, S or X shape objects would make this puzzle element more interesting. Maybe needing the player to use the physics of the objects more would give this gameplay element more depth. (‘Mai’s stray sheep 3’ quest is a good example of this) Upgrades in the game require either money or scrap, both can be acquired easily and are plentiful. If upgrades required money and multiple types of crafting material i.e. wood, metal clo…
