Gold Rush: The Game

Gold Rush: The Game

- Nikholai Koolonavich

Simulation games are all the rage and the ones that capture the realism and detail of the real world tend to be the most successful. As someone who is not often a player of these I was interested to try out the early version of Gold Rush: The Game and see what it was all about.

Set in Alaska, you are tasked with digging for riches as you mine for gold in what is dubbed the “dream come true”. Using realistic, highly detailed machines with rather impressive controls to match, the game is all about that feeling of working hard to earn your gold. Literally. What was noticeable right off the bat was that this simulation really does put effort into conveying that feeling of being there in person, digging for gold. Featuring a fully reformable terrain and a range of systems to use, there is a lot going on here that will surely make players smile.
