    The new Trackmania builds itself on the best chapter of the franchise, laying the foundations for the future of the series.

    Trackmania features deep mechanics that put accessibility first in addition to a nice variety of online and solo modes that compliment the title to better enhance both the gameplay and community. There’s plenty of free content that will entertain casual fans for months and paid options tailored to the more devoted veterans. All in all, for being part of such a niche franchise, this is a great entry that has a lot to offer.

    Trackmania's thrilling speed and simplistic style make it an easily accessible racer that will thrive on a dedicated, creative community who have the patience to navigate its subscription model and basic menus.

    Tremendously playable time trials with an extensive editor and a continuous supply of new challenges.

    After almost twenty years, the Trackmania formula remains brilliant. The game is fresh, fun and incredibly addictive, only partially thwarted by the seasonal release of the content.

    TrackMania is a seemingly simple product, but well layered and fun to play.

    Trackmania is everything we could expect from a 2020 installment and is as fun as it has been for 17 years. Of course, its strange subscription model may not go over well with everyone.

    Trackmania is not an exercise in superfine technique but it does not matter to be, because it seduces thanks to a gameplay as simple as effective and to the unbridled competition that prods every driver to always give his best.

    TrackMania is the racing arcade of this summer, with tons of content and a new and fair ranking system that will be praised by competitive players.

    Trackmania excels at everything fans fell in love with years ago: a true race with dozens of bizarre tracks and high speeds. The game unfortunately comes with a disclaimer: the different subscriptions, menus and leaderboards are very confusing. That is especially bad for new players, while Trackmania is such a good idea on paper.

    In terms of gameplay, Trackmania builds on the precise arcade action that the franchise is known for. However, the total package is (still) somewhat limited, which also applies to the graphics.

    Although its business model doesn’t seem to be appealing for everyone, Trackmania is a fun racing game that now everyone can try thanks to the free version. It would have been great to have a traditional version of the game, but fans of the series should know that the Trackmania experience is still strong in this one.

    Unfortunately, it also draws on today's relatively unpopular business models to ensure the loyalty of its pilots. Despite this, Ubisoft’s motorized baby continues to deliver the best it can do in try harder arcade racing, while customization options are always more accessible and sophisticated.

Now, it seems that I need to pay each year to build new tracks which, in fact, it looks like a scam (please, don't get me wrong, I would pay if it was the full-game). I can't stand a game which is based on a subscription to get all the offline features. Full Review »

However the features are very limited behind a paywall and the Starter demo version doesn't let you do anything - can't play with friends, can't play custom maps, can't even chat. The game is based around community and I have serious doubts that they will be able to bring enough players in to make it actually fun.

    When it comes to updates to Stadium, the new blocks seem gimmicky and majority of them probably won't be used by trackbuilders. I can't say whether the quality of life updates are good or not as I don't think it's worth buying to try them out.
