Dinsun Review
Offroad Runner is the kind of game you download when you're bored and delete two days later. It tries to do the 'physics-heavy' off-roading thing, but it’s too arcadey to be a simulator and too frustrating to be a fun arcade game. The physics are erratic; one moment your truck is crawling over a boulder with realistic weight, the next it’s bouncing like a rubber ball because you hit a pebble at the wrong angle.
The progression is the standard mobile 'earn coins to buy the next truck' loop. It’s fine, but there’s no real incentive to keep going. The environments are brown, green, and more brown. It lacks the polish of a game like MudRunner, and it doesn't have the charm of Hill Climb Racing. It’s stuck in a mediocre middle ground. It’s not terrible, but it’s certainly not something I’d spend money on. It’s filler.
