RoadCraft

Now, I've navigated my fair share of treacherous terrains mostly driving in Mumbai on a Friday afternoon — but this? This is about getting your hands virtually mucky, fixing things, and generally being the hero in a hard hat.

The premise is delightfully straightforward: Mother Nature's had a bit of a tantrum, maybe an earthquake had a disagreement with a local bridge, and you, my friend, are the gaffer of a disaster recovery company. They don't call Ghostbusters; they call you to clear the mess, lay down some fresh tarmac, and generally get things humming again. Think Bob the Builder, but with bigger toys.

And speaking of infrastructure, living in Mumbai, the city's in a perpetual state of being dug up. So, a game about actually fixing roads? Sign me up! What's interesting here is the laser focus. There's no faffing about with vehicle damage, no nail-biting fuel gauge watching, no obsessing over tyre wear or engine management. Nope, RoadCraft is all about one thing: rebuilding. It's less about the nitty-gritty of keeping your truck alive (looking at you, SnowRunner) and more about the grand ballet of operations.
