Meanwhile, I just want a goddamn space truck driving simulator.

Star Trucker was revealed at Gamescom last month, has a 2024 release date, and PC Gamer recently wrote an enthusiastic preview after playing it. It seems like it really leans into the classic American trucker aesthetic while also being very much set in space. Might not suit if you're looking for something more 'hard scifi' but it looks neat.

I have Star Trucker on my wishlist already lol. It's close but real a dream game of mine is closer to something like X4 mixed with ETS2. Start Trucker leans pretty heavy into the gimmick of "trucks in space". I am eager to check it out though. I also just learned about Dust and Diesel: Deadland Delivery, which is a truck sim I never knew I wanted until I saw it. I'm currently obsessed with Mad Max and a truck sim in a post-apoclyptic wasteland where you get to drive your own war rig sounds dope as fuck. I sort of want to suggest to the dev to add multiplayer so friends can play as "war boys" and drive cars and stuff while you haul stuff from one base to another.

I had no idea about Dust & Diesel. That looks kind of rad if the gameplay stays fun. You're right that multiplayer would be awesome.
