Dont let the steam hours lie to you on this, I have played this game since 2020 when it originally was only on UPLAY/ Ubisoft Launcher.

This game is by far one of the best racing games ever created. This is a follow up to the many trackmania games that were released years ago. With this itteration Nadeo is focusing on a live service over the older games which were buy one and done.

Dont let the game on steam fool you, this game is technically Free-To-Play, however you are restricted heavily on what you can do. You are pretty much limited to a section of the current seasons campaign maps and around 30 training maps. If you want access to the daily tournaments, and community made maps you do have to pay a subscription fee. While in the past there have been different packages included for different price points, now it is F2P access and Club access.

Club access is available for $19.99 Anually and provides you with a bunch of features such as car cusomization, community maps, and the ability to join and play with clubs. Personally, If you loved the old trackmanias, and/or love Trackmania 2020, 20 bucks anually is a very good deal for the amount of content.

If you are wondering how Trackmania differs from other racing games, the best way i can explain it is that the car has different mechanics that you are able to learn/master. You learn how to take racing lines differently depending on the type of surface you are driving on such as ice,grass, wood, etc.

This game is a must try for everyone!
