I’m not going to claim Star Trucker was the best thing I saw at Gamescom, per se, but I did come away from my hands-on demo thinking: yes, I understand exactly what this is, and I would like to play more of it. It’s a trucking game, but in space. That’s it. That’s the pitch.
In the announcement trailer you get a feel for the vibe: to lean into the comedy of the conceit, but as far as I can tell, that’s not what’s happening here. Sure, the conversations on your CB radio seem lighthearted in tone, but otherwise it’s played straight.
