The negative comments about this game are greatly misleading because it doesn’t even factor in anything about the game.. Although this game does have a yearly subscription, I really think people are just spoiled in other free to play games. Trackmania is driven by community built maps, with the first 10 tracks of the seasonal campaign being released by the developers. It’s based on progressively learning more and more about how to play. You are your only opponent in this game. Although the full campaign is subscription locked, it’s a mere $20 for a year of access. With a subscription you get access to literally everything the community has to offer including car skins and tracks, not locked behind progress walls. There are no other micro transactions. At around 300 hours in the game I’m confident in saying it’s one of the most fun and engaging games I have played and the least toxic online community I’ve encountered. I’m still no where near amazing at the game but there is so much more to the game than most people will realize because they’re stuck gawking at a $20 YEARLY ACCESS price tag. This game has an iceberg of knowledge that you can delve deep into but half of these reviews have barely even touched the surface. Its not a traditional racing game. Racing lines and gears do matter but there are a lot of quirks that give this game life. In my opinion once you start playing, it’s addictive to the point where you just want to find that one more run to beat your old PR. The next time you hop on you may find yourself in the same trap. If you can get past spending $20 for a year of access and actually give the game a chance, you may find yourself as in love with the game as I have found myself.
