Our Review
The good
- Interesting vehicle designs
- Fun art style
- Unique track painting mechanic
The bad
- Generally unsatisfying vehicle handling
- Large difficulty spikes
- Clumsy AI
Summary
Trailblazers is a fairly fun arcade racer that tries to stand out from the crowd with its unique track painting mechanic, which works well for the most part. Sadly, vehicles are largely unsatisfying to drive and have a tendency to understeer, the clumsy AI can lead to some frustrating moments, and the occasional spikes in difficulty in the Story mode can be rather harsh. Unfortunately, these elements detract from what is otherwise a decent effort from the UK-based Supergonk development team.
