RoadCraft: A Chill Game for Casual Gamers
So, like, I’m not really into driving games, you know? But when I heard about Saber Interactive’s new game RoadCraft, I was like, “Hmm, this might be my jam.” Basically, in this game, you’re tasked with fixing up industrial areas that have been wrecked by natural disasters. And how do you do that? By sending in a fleet of big trucks, of course.
Crafting Roads and Rebuilding Bridges
Okay, so RoadCraft is more than just about building roads. You also have to rebuild bridges, haul cargo, fix pipelines, lay powerlines, and even gather resources like timber and scrap metal. It’s a whole process, man. And yeah, it sounds slow and methodical, but trust me, it’s surprisingly chill. I’ve only played through three maps so far, but playing solo or with friends in co-op mode has been a blast.
Exploring the Disaster Zones
When you first enter a disaster zone, you gotta scout around in a vehicle to find the best routes to key locations. Once you’ve mapped out a path, you can send in autonomous vehicles to deliver supplies. But let’s be real, those CPU drivers are gonna get stuck, so get ready to do some hands-on crafting. You can fill in broken roads with sand, flatten it with a bulldozer, and even pave it with asphalt. It’s all about making sure your trucks can move smoothly through the mess.
Chill Vibes Despite the Challenges
Now, don’t get me wrong, RoadCraft isn’t a walk in the park. There are times when you’ll need some serious precision, like when you’re trying to load up a cargo truck with steel beams and concrete slabs. I mean, I thought I could just toss them in there, but nah, the physics had other plans. And let’s not forget the missions that require you to juggle multiple vehicles and tasks just to complete one objective. It’s slow going, but it’s oddly satisfying.
Final Thoughts on RoadCraft
All in all, RoadCraft is a pretty laid-back game, considering the whole disaster zone setting. It’s not as punishing as some other driving sims out there, which is a relief. And hey, if you’re into taking it easy and just chilling out while you play, this might be right up your alley. So, yeah, get ready to get muddy, but also get ready to relax and have a good time. RoadCraft drops on Steam on May 20th, so mark your calendars and get ready to hit the road.
