Play Overview
Trackmania (2020) is a bright, fast-paced racing game where you repeatedly speed down tracks to improve your time. Play involves finding the perfect route through each course, optimising every turn and hitting every checkpoint. It stands out for how you can fail and quickly start again, to refine your route to perfection.
The game presents you with one simple goal: reach the finish line as fast as possible. On each track, you choose a target time and work towards beating it. Unlike other racing games, each track is vastly different and requires detailed learning. You might find yourself sliding round an icy corner or blasting through a loop-the-loop.
As you progress, you can work through a range of online game modes. Still, the emphasis remains on improving your driving ability. You can see other players' racing lines but don't have to worry about colliding with them.
The result is a bright and colourful game that doesn't take itself too seriously, where each track challenges a different skill and feels unique.
