Trail Out

Trail Out is a racing game in which we must both compete and eliminate our rivals in spectacular ways. The game was developed by the independent studio Good Boys.

Plot

In the game, we meet Mihalych who moved to the United States in search of new perspectives. Bored with his job as a movie stuntman and with his numerous failures, he comes across an advertisement for the Trail Out festival. The hero decides to participate in the competition, but to win the cup, he will have to defeat the stars of this sport and gain a multitude of fans.

Gameplay

Trail Out is a dynamic racing game strongly focused on direct contact with opponents and destruction. We can observe the action from the first-person perspective (view from the cockpit or from the front of the hood) or from the third-person perspective. There are fifty cars at our disposal from different periods of history and representing different types - rally and touring vehicles can meet on one track. We start at the bottom by purchasing a car from a scrapyard, which we then equip with the selected engine, wheels or suspension.

The vehicle we obtained can be tested in eight different disciplines. Among them are classic races, demolition derby, and boss battles, defeating whom allows us to climb in the festival ranking. Additionally, modes such as Cross (the race track consists of numerous intersections), Stunts (a set of mini-games akin to car bowling) or Escape (the last participant is eliminated after each lap) are also available. The events take place on fifty different tracks or arenas.

Game modes

Trail Out allows to play alone and compete locally. A maximum of four users can play using split screen.

Technical aspects

The game uses the Unreal 4 engine, largely focusing on presenting damage. During the races, we can often see dents from impacts, torn off doors, and drivers falling out of vehicles.
