I love it. I love how it plays, I love the controls, I love how fresh the concept is, I love the aesthetics, I freaking love the music and the visuals. What this is: a competitive team-based racing game (!) where you can strategically paint the track, and racing over your team's paint boosts you and nets you points. The team that has the most points wins. What it also is: a freaking blast to play. Everyone's been …

It's kinda hard to reccomend this game. I love what it does right, but at the same time it does so much wrong. If you like racing party games, and have some friends for local games, get it! If not, it kinda sucks. theres no way to invite friends online, the cross platform feature doesnt work, and the game has gotten 0 updates since launch. If you want to play this online it isn't for you, but the game is still …

Trailblazers is a beautiful mashup of Splatoon and F-Zero, a co-operative racer where teams win races based on points rather than just finishing positions. Stunningly presented and unique in its design, Trailblazers is a great game that is worthy of your time I hear you all like bullet points, so here's a few: Pros: Beautiful cel shaded graphics that make Trailblazers feel like the best Sega Dreamcast racer that …

Looked fun, but this game has major issues. For starters, the single-player career mode doesn't save progress once the game is closed, so it resets every time you launch the app. The collisions and handling are very annoying and floaty, it's not at all like other kart or hovercraft racers like Mario or WipEout; collisions spin the vehicles, making bumping into others, or getting bumped yourself, super disorienting …

There are too many quality of life features lacking in this game for me to give it a positive review, I 100% love every aspect of idea this game is trying to make, I think the idea of a mix of Splatoon and F-Zero is a sure-fire hit but this game doesn't match and/or mix it well enough to do either justice. Also the music whilst being great is effectively 1 music track, what's up with that devs??? Another note is the …
Summarised from 34 of the 148 public posts collected about this game; every point cites the posts behind it ([n] opens the post) and the split is counted from the posts’ own ratings. Updated Oct 13, 2026. How summaries are made
50% of the 62 Steam reviewers we collected recommend Trailblazers. The complaint that keeps coming up: progress does not save after closing the game. Deal-breaker or nitpick?
Critics, per Wikipedia
In a hands-on preview in March 2018, Blake Morse of Shacknews praised the visuals, comparing the graphics to Borderlands. The Windows, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One versions of Trailblazers received "mixed or average" reviews, according to review aggregator Metacritic. Martin Robinson of Eurogamer criticized the game for its poor "energy".

You can do special attacks which paint track ahead of you. When driving on your color you get a boost and when holding it longer the speed will increase constantly. Nice idea but game falls short with one thing... someone can drive behind you and erase all your progress. Main con is there're no power ups. Driving is ok but feels a bit slow at first. Controls are…

Steam refused to refund (the purchase exceeds 2 weeks). Probably will play for some time. Strongly advise not to get even at discount, because this game just doesn't work as it should be. Peace.

The characters are boring and make irritating sounds. The music is strangely both great and awful. The gameplay is ♥♥♥♥. Straight up garbage. Okay hear me out. The moving feels amazing and well balanced, and the first 30 seconds you think "uh. This might be good" - but the vehicle are too big and too wide - but you can't make sharp turns - but…

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Actually feels like the character you pick makes a huge impact on how you help your team. Different ways to win, not only being fast. Cars handle well. Maps are great. Very different type of racing game that you should pick up if your group of friends isn't sure what to play. IMPORTANT - YOU NEED A CONTROLLER. also, getting a game started with your friend and then picking teams is kind of buggy, not even sure you can choose teams at all.
