Trackmania is a fantastic arcade racing game that has VERY powerful map-creation tools and an amazing community that gives us an infinite amount of content. I have well over 150 hours outside of Steam and still enjoy watching this game.

You might be wondering why I'm downvoting this game, then. It's because of two reasons:

* Ubisoft gimped the free version of the game, limiting it to just 10 easy campaign maps per season rather than the whole 25 maps, making the free version a joke

* The "premium version" is a $20/year subscription, which is outrageous especially considering 99% of content is made by the community and NOT Nadeo. I could stomach another subscription service when it was $10 per year, but last year they doubled the price to squeeze the playerbase.

Well, my subscription ended and I can no longer play online levels - the entire point of the game. I'm frankly very upset the community didn't cause a bigger ruckus at how insane the pricing of this game is. None of the updates or mediocre campaign maps justify such an expensive price to a game you'll never own.

In fact, the newer updates introducing legacy cars arguably made the game worse. The new cars are so finnicky to control and constant switching of them mid-track intentionally messes with your muscle memory and will force you to crash or lose control constantly.

Save your money and play TM:NF which is ACTUALLY free - or buy an older TM game like Turbo when on sale.
