It’s not an easy job. Strong winds and heavy snowfall exacerbates conditions on the slopes. There is only one way to get the job done - enter the snowcat. So start the engine and get this monster moving. By day or by night, it does not matter, the runs must be prepped before the first skiers arrive. Lower the shield of the snowcat and get ready to smooth & groom the slopes.

i do not like that it takes forever just to do a task but the rest is good
Its is cool at the beggining but it become boring because it is always the same thing
Snowcat Simulator is an older game from 2014. It's a venerable 10 years old at the time of this review. It's an "equipment simulator" game where you drive a variety of ski resort vehicles around and do various mundane tasks. If you can work out how to.
These games can be really enjoyable, from a casual gamer (or even hardcore casual gamer) perspective. If they're well made. Just look at Euro Truck Sim. Snowcat Simulator is not well made.
There's no tutorial, and the controls are locked, so you just have to rely on blind luck (and the occasional unrelated "tip" that might give you some clues if you're lucky). The first job is to collect a little trailer thing and drive it up to a ski slope. Where is the trailer? Where is the ski slope? How do you connect the trailer to your little snow mobile? Nobody knows.
It's not just the needlessly obtuse nature of the game. The game physics are phoned in. I got stuck on a wooden packing pallet and couldn't escape while I was trying to hitch the trailer for my first big job. Boss was mad, I got fired from the ski resort. But seriously, this is just bad, it's clunky, it's more frustrating than fun.
From a technical perspective, the game doesn't meet basic minimum requirements that most PC gamers expect as standard.
The controls can't be customised, which will be an annoyance for many, but it can also render the game unplayable for differently-abled gamers, left handed gamers or gamers using AZERTY or other international keyboard layouts.
These technical defects push this game below acceptable standards for any modern PC game.
The poor quality of this game is reflected by how many people spent time with it. At the time of this review, SteamDB shows the all-time peak player number was only 5 players. This is a remarkably low number, and now, the only player activity occurs once or twice a month, presumably someone loading it up to see what it is then quickly uninstalling it. Considering there's over 120 million gamers on Steam and well over 100,000 games for gamers to choose from, the overwhelming lack of interest in this low quality game is to be expected.
So, should you buy this game? Is this one of the best of the 100,000+ games on Steam?
Snowcat Simulator has the preposterous price of around $4 USD, it's not worth it given the defects and shortcomings with the product, especially considering the sheer number of completely free, much higher quality games on Steam. This is also competing with over 11,000 free games available on Steam, many of them far better than this paid product.
