This week Epic Games store is giving away a multiplayer racing game “Make Way” in which you also have to build your truck before taking it to the races.
“Make Way” is a top-down multiplayer racing game that flips the script on traditional racers. It is a chaotic, laugh-out-loud experience perfect for game nights. What sets it apart? Players build the track as they race, snapping together wild pieces like loops, corkscrews, and train crossings. This unique mechanic, inspired by games like Ultimate Chicken Horse and Micro Machines, ensures no two races are ever the same.
Build, Race, Repeat
The core of Make Way is its addictive loop: build, race, win, repeat. Each match starts with players choosing from a random selection of track pieces—think ramps, seesaws, or hairpin turns. You snap them together to form a course, often creating a tangled mess of obstacles and hazards. Then, it’s a mad dash to the finish line, dodging traps and wielding weapons like goo cannons or giant hammers. After each round, the track grows with new pieces, making races increasingly unpredictable. Checkpoints award points, and the first to hit the target score (like 3,000 for four players) wins. If you fall off, no worries—you respawn at the next checkpoint, keeping everyone in the action.
Game Modes for Every Mood
Make Way offers three modes to dial up the chaos. Race Mode is the starter, focusing on pure racing with minimal hazards. Classic Mode adds Mario Kart-style power-ups, like slime traps or Tesla coils, for extra spice. Chaos Mode cranks everything to eleven, removing safety barriers and piling on traps, leading to hilarious wipeouts. While Chaos can be brutal—sometimes requiring multiple attempts to reach a checkpoint—it’s a riot with friends. The game’s controls, though floaty and likened to “driving on ice,” add to the arcade charm, though they take some getting used to. Camera angles can occasionally throw you off, but the responsive gameplay keeps you hooked.
Progression and Customization
As you race, you earn XP to unlock new track pieces, traps, and cosmetic vehicle skins, from monster trucks to UFOs. All vehicles handle the same, ensuring fairness, with variety purely aesthetic. While the progression system motivates replay, some players find it grindy, wishing for faster unlocks to dive into the full chaos sooner. A recent free update added a bulldozer item to clear obstacles, customizable rules, and three new vehicles, including a Milk Truck inspired by streamer SMii7Y. These updates, along with community-driven car design contests, keep the game fresh.
Why It Shines
Make Way earns its 83 Metacritic score and “perfect party racer” praise from TechRadar with its approachable yet devilish gameplay. The track-building mechanic sparks creativity and friendly sabotage, making every race a unique story of triumphs and betrayals. It’s best with friends—online matchmaking can be patchy, and solo play with bots lacks the same spark. Still, the game’s vibrant, cartoony visuals and endless track combinations ensure hours of replayability.
Conclusion
Make Way is a must-play for anyone craving a chaotic, social racing experience. Its blend of track-building and arcade racing delivers non-stop laughs and surprises, perfect for holiday gatherings or online game nights. While the grind for unlocks and occasional control quirks might test your patience, the sheer fun of crafting ridiculous tracks and blasting friends with wacky weapons makes it a standout. Grab your crew, build a monstrous course, and let the swearing (and giggling) begin.
