    • “I've literally cried laughing playing this with my friends, perfect game to play on a 'what should we play tonight' chat.”
    • “The physics are delightfully unpredictable, the power-ups are hilariously cruel, and every race ends in either laughter or betrayal (usually both).”
    • “This game is the most chaotic and funny game that I've ever experienced.”
  • gameplay
    67 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay in "Make Way" is characterized by its innovative track-building mechanic, which creates a dynamic and unpredictable racing experience that requires quick thinking and adaptability. Players engage in a chaotic blend of collaboration and competition, with vibrant visuals enhancing the lighthearted atmosphere. While the learning curve can be steep and some mechanics may frustrate, the overall experience is described as fun, engaging, and perfect for social play, making it a standout choice for party gaming.

    • “This mechanic transforms each race into a unique, unpredictable experience that constantly evolves, requiring players to think quickly, strategize on the fly, and adapt to the ever-changing environment.”
    • “The core gameplay loop revolves around this live track-building element, where players collaboratively and competitively piece together sections of the track from a randomly assigned pool of components.”
    • “The dynamic track system, loose functionality of rules and shortcuts, and absolute absurdity of how people get flung around makes for some insanely fun gameplay that had me smiling and gasping for air with my friend all the way through.”
    • “Some players have noted that the learning curve can be a bit steep initially, as mastering both the racing and the track-building mechanics simultaneously demands a fair amount of multitasking and spatial awareness.”
    • “While in Ultimate Chicken Horse you get the freedom of building a platformer level together with your own paths of different difficulty, here the actual placement just doesn't seem to affect gameplay all that much. Sometimes it's harder, sometimes easier, and I don't think I would have noticed if it was just random and we got rid of the whole build-your-track aspect completely as the track gets longer and more tedious and confusing over time.”
    • “It feels like the driving mechanics completely changed; at times I feel like I have no speed and get left behind by other players.”

    • “Absolute dogshit game, buggy, glitchy and honestly not worth it even if on 50% sale.”
    • “Every time we come back to it for a session we can't make it through an hour before us just giving up with how buggy it is.”

    • “Visually, Make Way embraces a bright and colorful cartoon aesthetic that perfectly complements its lighthearted and zany gameplay.”
