positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Terrible controls. Settings reset everytime you load the game. If I could return it I would. A lesson in frustration!
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Off-Road Drive is a true classic 2010s era game and very good for it's time. With physics comparable to that of SnowRunner and other games of the like, its honestly amazing to look through and see cars handle and push through mud better than any other true offroad game ( no, rally doesn't count as true offroad ). "But Rileoli!" You cry, "The game has a mixed review!". While that is true, and the game deserves a mixed review, it's for good reason. This is not an entry level game by any…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Truck can't drive up steep hill. No trees around so can't winch up. Changing diffs made no difference. Lose points for backing up.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Fun game, absolute pain in the ass to get a controller working, once you do you can enjoy a quality and immersive offroad experience. But I can't recommend this game because you get to constantly watch the ghost that's always ahead of you just unrealistically blaze through all the obstacles like it's nothing. I just did the same race like 8 times before giving up because there's one turn in it and even if I approach it at the exact same speed and direction as the AI they get through it…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game looks promising from the smoothed out store pics but is more like an older mobile phone game in my opinion. its a cheap price but not what i was expecting,
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game started out VERY FUN. I was initially impressed. Then, as you move into more difficult races, they become impossible no matter the vehicle or settings you use. This made it nearly unplayable and I had to move on.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →i was surprised to see so many bad reviews i personally enjoyed it
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →“No, no, no. There's no such thing as cheap and cheerful. It's cheap and nasty & expensive and cheerful.” ~Jeremy Clarkson The third game in the Russian series called “Four-wheel Drive” (Полный Привод). The series was somewhat popular in Russia thanks to how it used to include Russian cars, so, publisher milked the heck out of it. Even though quality of the games was not nearly as high as in IL-2 games (another popular series from this publisher), 1C seriously tried to repeat its success with…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Off road simulation. With some advanced settings like electric winch where you can hook on to trees, tires inflation system and complex traction system. Most of time you gonna try just to get to the next checkpoint. Racing is rather slow and terrain is the biggest obstacle here. Played this once and to be honest, it's not that great now. Fart/10
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Just.... no. A shovelware offroading game, that's not fun, doesn't look great and has terrible controls. The races can't even be called races, it's more like time trials the game. If you want a good offroading game, i recommend Spintires, if you want a good offroad racing game, i recommend Dirt Rally. Anything but this.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's a bit dated, but great fun! A lot of people say that the controls are bad, but they're not. You get the hang of them, and if not the game does tell you some of the controls. Overall worth the $1!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Very fun and realistic off road game! The in game control hints aren't very helpful though. The graphics are a tad dated and the game could use some optimization. Get this game on sale
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Realy nice off-road game that offers something different. I was looking for something like Motorm4x and this is even better. It is like Dirt Rally (my all time favorite racing game) but with massive off-road obstacles not just stones and cliffs on the side of the roads. I really like it! It would be nice see more game like this.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I'm honestly not sure why this game has a Mixed rating, it's rather good. The handling model and the suspension physics are pretty good and the game looks pretty good on top of that for it's age. It also uses the Unreal 3 Engine which was a nice surprise so performance is pretty good as well. The only thing missing from this game is some kind of free-roam mode and maybe some more in-depth vehicle configuring/customization. The options menu could use some more work and the controls on a…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →M'aiq thought Spintires was bad; it still is, but this is worse.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Badly optimised offroad simulator - 2/10 The controls are terrible, this is the type of game that needs a controller, but you can't properly use one due to the high amount of different controls. Only using a controller does not really work and I don't want to play with keyboard + controller. The controls in this type of game are pretty important that's why I can't recommend it, might be worth it if you like simulators and can forgive the controls. Check out my curator if you liked this…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Just get spintires
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →4/10 wish it was local multiplayer
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →its a good game
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Off-roading shouldn't be this confining. I enjoy real off-roading and this is NOTHING like it.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →♥♥♥♥ game, buy mudrunner instead...
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →for how old this game was it was truly goated. There are better choices 15 years later. But truly goated for 2011 and probably didn't get the love it deserved tbh
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Fun once you figure out how to get your controller setup right. Mud is BS. 7/10, great for its age.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →not fun controls are weird practically does not run levels Suck
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It might be ok if you have a logitek wheel. If not don't buy. I have a microsoft wheel and it just won't work. A completely wasted purchase. I'm not a big steam user but is this how most games are i.e. no effort to make them work correctly
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →i find this game even better than any other offroad racing game and this is the best game i ever had
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Awful game, your vehicle gets stuck very easy. Deleted it after 5 minutes. EDIT: The fanboys for this crap game will stalk your account to harass you, report them to steam.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →EPIC game bud how do i do multiplayer
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →You drive a vehicle off road and there's like dirt and stuff. It's alright.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is fantastic! Hands down this is one of the coolest offroad sims there is. If you know what the camel trophy races are, and love that vibe, then this is for you. Tons of iconic vehicles that are modeled fantastically. Really fun and unique locations and tracks.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Fun game, love the physics, love the vehicle selection. Dislike is the multiplayer does not work, and also doesn't have a track editor.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →this game is actually good, but maybe just need some improvement 1. add free roam mode 2. improve the physics if you're lookin for a game similar like mudrunner or snowrunner, you can try this, it also cheap, it only $4
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Tries to simulate real world OFF ROAD 4X4 Driving in a very limited way. Lockers, Low gears, Mud, Sand. The bird sound FX are annoying. Dated, but can be fun if you have patients.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →One of the most underrated games out there. Don't listen to anyone who talks bad about this game. It's the one and only off-road racing simulator game out there to play. All the other off-road games are arcade compared to this. It has great visuals for its time and it gets really fun after you get used to the mechanics. Shame that they don't make games like this anymore. A game like this with the new graphic technologies would be awesome.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Offroad Drive is a modest 2011 driving game focused on off-road racing and exploration. The gameplay is simple: choose a vehicle, tackle rough terrain, and complete timed challenges across various tracks. It’s a casual experience that doesn’t aim to compete with high-end racing simulators, but it delivers a decent dose of fun for fans of off-road driving. The game features basic but functional physics, letting you navigate hills, mud, and rocky paths without too much frustration. Vehicle…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Off-Road Drive is a somewhat dated (2011) offroad racing simulator. Gameplay consists of racing around extremely difficult offroad style obstacle courses and using differential locks and so on to get enough traction to negotiate the severe hazards. There's 4K support and a small number of tweaks, but not much. Controls are locked, which isn't okay for this kind of game as it can make it difficult for people to do controller configs. The graphics are starting to look a little dated, too.…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →i like the offroad thing
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Very junky and simplistic game. Feels more like a phone game than a computer game.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Bloody terrible. You'll be sick of this game after a few hours of getting stuck on nothing.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Very irritating game.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I think i paid like $10 maybe $15 for this game back in 2013. Then forgot i had it for a while. Not a bad game. Pretty simple and playable with a keyboard for the most part. It's old enough that it'll play on a low end gaming laptop, so it's got that going for it. So now for $4.99 i'd recommend it.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I really enjoyed this game. There are plenty of quirks and control issues but there isnt much out there that compares to it at this point. I wish they would keep it updated. I also wish there was free roaming.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Not very good you keep getting stuck in the same places all the time,after a few minutes you will get fed up with restarting after a few attempts,shame as it looked quite good
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →erbhnyeuenbwrvef
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Finally a true 4x4 game. iam stuck oh no not again. diff on tires de flated low range still stuck. try the winch. ok getting there . use your power correctly dont rev too high too get though obstacles. make sure you have the rigfht tires. For the price highly recomended. this is 4x4 time trails. not some arcade 4x4 racing game. love it
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Pros: 1. Complete and realistic off-road vehicle simulation. 2. 4WD Hi/Lo Range, Triple diff locks, 2WD/4WD, adjustable tyre pressure 3. Terrain is realistic. Cons: 1. Does not save keyboard key preferences (need to readjust it everytime I start playing.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I played this game shortly after its release, and it left an indelible impression on me. Since then, I’ve occasionally felt nostalgic and replayed it a few times. Graphically, it holds up remarkably well for a 2011 title—despite running on DirectX 9. Even playing it now, I’m willing to overlook certain flaws because it still delivers the kind of experience a game of this genre should offer. I highly recommend it to everyone. Enjoy, guys!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →NOT RECOMMENDED - it is too easy to get permanently stuck in objects and semi-permanently in pits and even small inclines in a way that looks super glitched out and with nothing visible blocking your movement. The winch system can break one millisecond in and the cable is not even drawn on-screen. It is extremely difficult to play even without the glitches. You can always respawn your vehicle by pressing R (not mentioned in the tutorial). It feels more like dumb luck to progress through the…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →i installed this game and it has to be on the worst games out there. i tried using a steering wheel and it doesnt work. the devs should write home to mom about this game. It is a top notch gem...
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →very old now was once a really neat game.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →simple game with amazing physics
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Very Good game, excellent, noo problems at all. Use reWASD if you want to use a controller.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →better physics than snowrunner and mudrunner/spintires.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →My favorite game
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →not ultra realistic but still entertaining.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I got this game really cheap and so I did't really expect much and at first I hated it. The controls need some time to configure and then learn what keys you actually need, then get used to all the functions. After learning the controls the game actually starts becoming really good gameplaywise and you breeze through the levels like it's nothing. The graphics reach from good to great at some points and the Malaysia maps are a real highlight. If there really are things to complain about it's…
