The resolution here is definitely below 720p. It doesnвЂ™t look terrible but does make navigating through thick forests more difficult. Everything becomes very blurry as if vaseline has been smeared over the screen.

Handheld mode, however, is another story.

The game does seem to run at least 720p here, if not 900p or 1080p. I donвЂ™t have an exact pixel count, but playing in docked mode hasnвЂ™t been half bad. Though, this is where the one major shortcoming of the Switch version becomes clear: the resolution. On that note, the experience does carry over well to handheld mode. So, having it on the go makes it a lot more manageable. This really is a game that can sap hours away from you if youвЂ™re not careful. This is the main reason why I wanted a Switch version of the game, as getting to play portably would give me a chance to make some progress in small increments. The game is called Spin tires for a reason, as you often spend a lot of time getting stuck in the mud and thick shrubbery. On paper that may sound simple, but it isnвЂ™t. The goal is to navigate your vehicles through a sandbox-style map of the Russian (and American) backwoods, with the main objective being to deliver logs to the Lumber Mills. If youвЂ™ve never played Spintires before, then you should know that this is a very slow game. ItвЂ™s a subtle effect but really adds to the experience. You can feel your truck moving along the terrain as it bumps and bashes around, and when the gears shift. However, they do have a bit of an edge when it comes to the exclusive HD Rumble functionality. By comparison, the Joy-Con do feel less up to the tasks, and my inputs seemed a little more twitchy. On PC, I play with an Xbox One controller. I have to say, I miss having analog triggers. This is the first proper simulator-style driving game IвЂ™ve played on Switch. Playing on Switch with the Joy-Con has been an interesting experience. All the vehicles, all the maps, the complex physics system, and even the visuals have surprisingly remained intact (but IвЂ™ll dive more into this part specifically a little later).

Since I just recently dived back into the game on PC to review that pack, the experience was fresh in my mind coming into the Switch version.ДЄs I said, everything is here. That includes the American Wilds expansion pack, which released a few weeks ago. The Switch version of Spintires: MudRunner includes every last bit of content that has come to the other platforms.

IвЂ™m happy to report that somehow, Saber Interactive has managed to keep the entire Spintires experience intact here on Nintendo Switch. Fast-forward to now, and IвЂ™ve been playing the game for several hours. Yet, I never expected it to actually happen.В But, to my surprise, an announcement was made a few months ago. I fell in love with Spintires when it launched last year, and desired for it to come to Switch. Thus, if you want a more in-depth analysis on the gameplay itself, please check out my original review of the PC version of Spintires: MudRunner over on our sister website, PC Invasion. As a result, this review is more of a comparison between that and the new Switch version. I have been playing Spintires for over a year now on PC.
