What drives the score
How to read this
Grades run S to D, read from the buyer's side. ▲ marks a lift, ▼ a drag or a dock, ? an input we do not have, • a fact this genre's score does not use. How the grades work
The value story
The lowest price on record is $7.49, set in September 2026. It has been discounted 22 times in the 2 years tracked here, typically at 50 percent off, with about 4 weeks between sales. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended 8 days ago.
Against its own genre it lands in the top 15 percent on value. It is pricier than 93 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 73 percent. Among the games that feel like it, American Truck Simulator ($4.99, scores 94) beats it on value, while it beats The Bus ($39.99, scores 20).
Of the 800 Steam-purchase reviews this site sampled, 41 come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written September 2024 to August 2026. That is more refunded reviewers than 8 in 10 paid games this site has sampled to the same depth, and among the 2,848 games in its genre sampled this deeply, 328 have a larger share. The typical game sits near 5 in 1,000, so the score docks it. 5 of the 41 refunded reviewers were past Valve's two-hour window when they wrote the review. Inside the two-hour refund window, 54 percent of the 906 reviews written there were positive, against 79 percent overall, and those are 19 percent of everything written about it.

What players say
"Yeah, She's a fixer-upper; but she flies good." I've given this game a fair shake and out of the box there's a lot to enjoy and a lot to dislike. All of it is fixable, if you're willing to get your hands a little dirty. The Rig does indeed fly like a yacht and stops like one before you toss a trailer or three behind it; then it gets much MUCH worse. Though I advocate that, yes, a giant rig like this should be...
You can put a rubber duck on your dashboard and it has a cowboy hat and you can squeak it. You can have 4 different ducks on the dash! !!!! Star Trucker has apparently just had a major year 2 update drop so is not quite the same game that launched to mixed reviews. But, my review is mixed. I want to recommend it but it could be better: The game starts with you finding yourself in your rig dealing with hull breaches...
Tedious is how I'd describe this game, you spend most of you time replacing d batteries and picking your stuff off the floor because staps don't exist. The rig is a big slippery boat that feels awful to control. The jobs pay laughably low so you'll be spending most of your money on d batteries since they run dry so fast. Oh and there's one of the most stupid design choices I've ever seen there's 2 rig heath bars one...
