Trailblazers Reviews
Trailblazers is a fun arcade racing game – from its varied modes to the solid presentation and unique gameplay, the formula for success is definitely there. However, a relatively high price, inconsistent AI and barren multiplayer prevent this title from reaching the podium.
Trailblazers is a very fun combination of gameplay mechanics we've seen in other games, bringing them together in a racing game that stands out from the crowd. If you're into slower racing games then this game one is not for you, but if you like to dive into fast-paced racers with interesting gameplay mechanics that add a new twist into the mix, then be sure to check out Trailblazers today!
A fun mix of F-Zero and Splatoon with unusual gameplay mechanics. Even if multiplayer lobbies remain empty, you can always spend your time in a fun story mode.

Trailblazers is an enjoyable racer with a very cool colour mechanic and a stellar throwback presentation that's highly reminiscent of the Dreamcast era.
I enjoyed it and if the multiplayer can get a bit busier there could be a decent little community. It’s never going to compete with the big boys, but what it does, it does well. It’s a nice alternative take on the racing genre with unique mechanics and I happily spent a good few hours getting through the campaign and doing some split screen racing with my flatmate. The price of entry may put some people off but it’s a fun little game that can provide a challenge at times.
With a community of people playing the game as intended I think Trailblazers could have had potential to be quite interesting. If you’re able to play with friends you can begin to see what the goals were and it is at least a different way to race. Unfortunately, as a single-player experience it is hard to feel the teamwork vibe working with bots and that makes for a pretty bland driving experience. Despite looking great and having a cool soundtrack there’s no escaping the somewhat ho-hum results in a typical race in Trailblazers.
Trailblazers incorporates some fun ideas, like painting the road to create boost strips, but fails to deliver in the controls department. It’s worth considering if you’re looking for something else that isn’t Mario Kart 8 Deluxe – but it’s nowhere near as fun.
"On the right track, but it's missing players and technical polish."

Has the making of a decent meta game but fails to follow up on the framework
Taking what made Splatoon so popular and combining it with level design of F-Zero makes it sound like a dream, but it, unfortunately, misses the mark. With a bit of AI tweaking and varied weapons, this could be a much better experience. For now the splash of colour won't hold your interest.
Trailblazers delivers an entirely fresh racing experience using paint and a wild atmosphere.
