What is Trailmakers?

A physics-based building sandbox where you assemble vehicles from functional blocks, then drive, fly, race, or fight across open-world and dedicated sandbox maps. The Pioneers campaign has you complete missions, unlock parts, and help a frog community resist resource-stealing robots, alone or in online co-op.

For you if...

  • +you enjoy experimenting with physics-based vehicle designs
  • +you want open-ended building with online cooperative play
  • +you like racing and combat in custom vehicles

Not for you if...

  • −you prefer guided play over open-ended experimentation
  • −you dislike trial-and-error engineering and vehicle tuning
  • −you mainly want a story-focused single-player campaign

What players say

92% of 36,225 reviews are positive · 91% of 565 in the last 30 days

Players praise the accessible vehicle builder, broad range of possible machines, and experiment-and-refine process, especially in sandbox and multiplayer. The dominant complaint is that many functional parts, maps, and campaigns require paid DLC, leaving the base game's selection feeling limited.
