Doodle Derby
Super fun and chaotic! I could play this game all day! And I have at Gamescom 2019 :)
The look of the game is really unique. I am very curious about the single player and level editor, since I mainly played the multiplayer game in the demo and beta versions.
Can’t wait to continue with this version of the game.
If you don’t mind ruining some friendships playing through the very competitive levels, this is a must purchase!

The game’s just not that fun. The problem solving in the campaign feels like work from driving a clunky and overrealistic car while collecting crates and experimenting through trial and error to figure out exactly where to put parts and get through the track. Nobody plays multiplayer at all either, so free build is pointless without other people to play with.
I wanted to draw spontaneous tracks and goof around. All I got was a half-baked architecture lesson.

Race.a.bit
It’s been a while since i had fun with a game who do aim “retrogamers”. As usually they are all the same… But right now i finally found one that can handle most of my needs.
Pro:
It will remind you Slick’n’Slide but in a good way
Music quality
In-game racetrack editor encourages pixel arts which help to give a unique atmosphere to each of our creations.
Control intuitiveness
Compatible with a gamepad
Subtleties of power-ups, obstacles, traps, etc. make this game having a very long longevity

Can’t recommend at this price, unless you are a die hard retro top down race fan.
The game itself is kind of fun. I played through all the included tracks and enjoyed it for the most part. The retro graphics are an eye sore for many and the AI is pretty inconsistent, yet there is a bit of charm to the overall feel. The controls are fairly smooth and there is a neat level editor included which opens the doors to tons of potential community content. In the end though, it is too short, too retro and too pricey to recommend.

Trackmania United Forever
This game isn’t a racing game like all others. Trackmania has its own things that make it a special racing game - the physics for time attacking.
You can ride with cars over nice maps build by Nadeo, or the community in 7 different environments. Collect medals by improving your time. Chase your friends to see who’s the better racer. Build your own maps and share your maps with others, for example on tm-exchange.com. There’s a lot of stuff you can do related to cars.
True, you can do all of this in Nations, but United is another big experience of driving with different cars and enjoying their unique environments. Please don’t waste your money on this game because of Coppers support, it’s stupid.

If you give this game only a brief glance, you are going to see a simple arcade racing game where cars look like toys and drive round corners at speeds exceeding 600 km/h. But if you look under the shell and start probing deeper you shall see that TrackMania is in fact many things and it isn’t in fact simple, but rather simplistic.
Do you like hardcore racing where you need to hunt for tenths and hundredths of a second, and even a small concentration lapse can result in a crash when you are on a world record pace? Come on in, there’s plenty of that. Do you like to build maps for others to race at? It’s easy to do that with a built in editor. Maybe you prefer doing various stunts, such as backflips, barrel rolls, driving through loops or just riding the walls in a car? TM is a perfect choice for you. Just in case you like puzzles, there’s a game mode for you where you have to build a fastest way between start, finish and a few checkpoints using a limited amount of blocks. Then again you can just challenge your brain and your very self to try and seek for outrageous shortcuts in others' tracks, as nobody can dictate you the order in which the checkpoints must be driven.

Trials Evolution: Gold Edition
Let’s get this straight: I absolutely adore this game, it is really fun to play and see how you improve over time.
Even better if you have a couple of friends to compete with on the leadersboards or play a bit of multiplayer.
You can even make your own tracks in the editor which is pretty easy to get started in, but advanced enough to make crazy minigames and really slick looking tracks.
If the game will actually run at all for you that is.
It seems to be a coin-toss if this game will work on your system or not, and if it actually does run it might still lag even with really good hardware. I’m running it with a HD7970 and an i7 3770k so it runs well just because of the brute force.

TL:DR
Game is good but online is not available, dlc not available, custom maps are only available if downloaded within one week of being posted.
Buy if you’re fine with just playing the base Evolution and HD tracks, but not for any other features.
Before starting I want to say that I love this game, and it is amazing, and by far my favorite entry in the Trials series. I’ve been playing Trials since the first flash games released, and Trials is an incredible game. It has a perfect balance of easy to pick up, difficult to master. The physics in Trials Evolution are in my opinion the most on point most good feeling physics in the series. There is tons of content, plenty of customization, a very impressive track editor, and a lot of tracks.

Slotracers VR
Played on HP Reverb G2 (WMR) without issue.
There is much attention to detail in this game. Track, scenery, buildings, lighting, terrain… the number of different pieces available to build your own full race course is impressive.
There are also pre-built tracks and a campaign mode against AI racers if you want to just jump in and start racing.
Slot car racing without the massive space requirements. It’s fun and you can play with friends (friends sold separately).

Just like owning your own slot car racing set in your own house without taking up the space! Make your own tracks, race how you want and race against friends

Trackmania® Turbo
When I first reviewed this game I was a bit “hot headed” because even though I knew this game was a console port, I didn’t expect it to lack so many features from the previous games. But after playing it so much I decided to change my review.
Why should you buy this game? (This is mostly aimed to new players to the Trackmania series)
-First and foremost, the game is really fun
-New Double Driver mode
-New Stunt mode
-You can create challenges and publish them for the world to see
-As an arcade game, Turbo is really easy for anyone to get into it and have fun, but its gameplay also has depth, so the possibilities are almost infinity and it will take you a long time to master the gameplay of each environment

Trackmania Turbo is fun, I’ll keep it that simple. But there’s something that needs to be made clear:
This game is not made for creative players who enjoy getting the best out of trackmania. This game is made for the more casual side of players who want nothing more than pure gameplay. If you want a larger range of customization (car, map and replay-wise), more community focused events on anything Trackmania, you should get (one of) the individual trackmania² environments, or Trackmania Nations/United. If you’re here for racing on all environments into one, simply beating times and having a mere joy on several maps. This game might be the one for you.

TrackMania² Stadium
The ultimate ghost chasing simulator.
(Disclaimer: My total Steam gametime does NOT represent my actual total gametime.)
TrackMania² Stadium is a 2012 arcade racing game, published by Ubisoft and developed by Nadeo, and is the sequel to one of the greatest racing games ever made, TrackMania Nations Forever.
For the uninitated, TrackMania is a high-speed arcade racing game, where lightning fast time trials take place in diverse and unique enviromments, chock-full with ludicrous stunts and gravity-defying circuits. The gameplay is extremely easy, yet hard to master, with even one minor mistake threatening to put you into a wall and end your otherwise flawless run, as you seek to shave off those precious milliseconds from your personal best.

This game is pretty ridiculous. It’s like the company asked a bunch of 4th graders to come up with ideas for a racing game, and this is the result. Wall rides, loops, huge jumps, crazy speed. It’s awesome.
That being said, the skill cap is infinitely high. Yes, it’s massively fun to go on a server and smash through a bunch of new tracks, crashing all over the place and hitting walls like they owe you money. And it’s worth mentioning that since the multiplayer is almost exclusively user-created levels, there are tens of thousands of maps to play. But once you settle in to a server and have learned the maps, then it becomes a wonderfully technical game about shaving off bits of time where you can.

TrackMania² Valley
Stadium is better IMO because it has more population, more community generated content, and more persistent playerbase than this game.
Racing gameplay here is largely based on rally racing. Note that the car steers very well, and can handle sharp turns. But, it doesn’t do so well at high speeds and will spin out at any attempt at braking. As such, racing tends to be more technical than drifting related or fullspeed.
This was the third of the TM2 series, and its the most graphically polished, however TM2 still excells in content.

Hmm I don’t know if I should put all the enviroments into one review on Valley but I’ll do it anyway.
If you played the original Trackmania then this shouldn’t be a surprise because everything is particulary the same, which is a good thing! I’ve loved the original Trackmania since I’ve seen about it back in my middle school years. Played the demo of Trackmania Sunrise and enjoyed the series ever since. I met some really good people and friends and actually played competitively in this game, but it didn’t last long…..sadly

Celaria
I got this game almost right as it came out because it looks liked a good mirror edge replacement.
What i got was a very difficult game that i’m surprised no one was playing. steam has reported at most 14 people have played at once as of (10/26/2019), this makes me sad because it’s a amazing game for what it is
Pros:
A great selection of maps to try and beat, then find the hidden items, and then to try to get the fastest speed.
Great,simple,intuitive mechanics. at first they seem slippery but after a hour they make the game feel fast and fluid. hell the wall jumping just feels great to dude.
– Real player with 49.9 hrs in game
This is a great little game. The music is great, the gameplay is slick and smooth, and wonderfully engaging and rewarding. Leaderboards and multiplayer for those interested. I’m not really a speedrunner type of gamer but this game is designed solely for it and it shines because of it.
There’s also a few platforming puzzles/challenges on some levels to get red orbs. I think what really made this game click for me was that using the freecam to spy one of the harder looking orbs, I saw the area the developer wanted us to take but couldn’t make the heads and tails of approaching or tackling it. Instead I just decided to run straight through and figurtively saw the path unravel before it, between walls and jumps and using the mechanics seamlessly. It was immensely satisfying picking out a relatively efficient, logical path from seemingly nothing instead of having it laid out in front of you.
