Is anyone playing this game at all? Or maybe I just didn't understand how it works... that's probably it.
I only played for like 15 minutes. I am entering an age where I don't waste time trying to like or understand stuff that isn't worth it. This game was not worth it for me.
From watching the introductions video, it looked like I was going to race against a lot of people, with lots of cars in the track, and funny stuff could happen from that. Well, from what I see, you are racing against ghosts of maybe other players. Not their real cars, so you cannot crash into them or anything. What a lonely racing game.
I was doing the weekly tracks... got stuck on the third one, and that's it for me. No more time wasted.
Trackmania 2020 is a decent racing game as we know it from the good old days. Sadly, it lacks content if you don't get the Club version, and I am curious to see if this iteration will be as long-lived as its predecessors given the subscription-style format. The editors in the game are detailed but hard to master, so it takes patience to be able to create good tracks, and good car skins are even harder to craft. Then again, who plays Trackmania and doesn't have deep reserves of patience? Even with the lack of content in the free version, it's hard for me to be too harsh on the game for not giving us everything for free, especially when I did have fun with what was there.
This game is pretty fun. While it doesn't have as much depth as something like Neon White, it scratched the same itch and it something I find myself picking up for a few tracks almost everyday. There is endless content and $20 for a whole year is well worth it in my opinion.
