Just wait a couple of months, it will be selling for under $10 bucks. Not all games hold sell value as consistently as RDR2.
True. Well, and pretty much every Mario Nintendo game lol

Trackmania îs terrible though. I've been playing various driving/racing video games for about 30 years and it's close to the worst I've played. I know others disagree with my opinion but I think Trackmania cars drive like bricks.

I agree though that this game isn't worth almost $30.
Trackmania was awesome when it first came out in 2003....almost 20 years ago I loved it. I'm not saying it was a realistic racer, but it was a fun game.

This game seems well made, but very shallow. Right now it only has races and time trials, and only on 4 tracks I believe. Hopefully they continue to add additional gameplay modes, challenges, etc. 4 player split screen also would be an important addition.

Unfortunately one thing that definitely IS in the works is paid DLC for more cars. Both of these points me want to wait until the game is more fleshed out and/or starts drastically dropping in price when the DLC starts to add up.

very good discount for just having released, made by very low budget/lower tier devs though. Im sure it will drop even lower if you wait a couple months

I don't think you guys are giving this game enough credit. It just released and works basically flawlessly. The track editor will be where I probably spend most of my time (trying others tracks out mostly) but this game has expansions planned that I'm sure will flesh out the game more. Idk maybe it's my nostalgia speaking but this isn't a Forza game, it's meant to be more of an arcadey style racer.

I bought the Xbox One version. Does the Steam version allow for cross play?

The game is pretty fun. It plays a bit like F-zero from the SNES with the turbo boost.

This seems like the only Mario Kart online coop type option for PC users. I searched and couldn't find any similar games other then a very old sega sonic racer that no one plays anymore.

this game is fun and tracks are very well created and the A.I. is really challenging. I found reducing the difficulty only slowed the speed of the cars down including yours. The only real problem I found having playing campaign mode was they gate locked certain areas until you figured out the secrets to unlock the gate. This was simple to solve if you checked the internet ... the problem however is it required using certain cars that by random luck were unlocked by using points on blind box opening.

This is where the real problem with Hot Wheels unleased became unbearable. The DEVS opted not to monetize their game with real money purchase of LOOT CRATES. Instead they have you GRIND and GRIND and GRIND events over and over and over to earn in game money. This money is used to purchase the Blind boxes and hope you get a car needed to unlock the games gated sections.

My experience was Blind Box opening was more than not a chance to get duplicates. As duplicates are more common than getting something you didn't already own. This creates a horrible back and forth grind to get more money to open more boxes only to get the car you already have.

I think the Dev team needs to review how Blind Box offers something you don't have already before dumping 15 of the same car into your inventory. 1 blind box cost 500 gold coins this takes 10 races to complete to earn enough. 10 races could be over an hour in game time. A serious oversight by the devs to allow this and expect players to stay engaged when 2 weeks goes by and your still stuck waiting on a car you don't own to drop randomly.

Thinking about getting this for my 9yo and 5yo. They love Horizon Chase Turbo for easy to entry and high replay value, but not so much for Team Sonic Racing due to the learning curve and too much going on in one screen (for the 5yo). Which one is this Hot Wheels game more like?
