Trailmakers is an entertaining building game. There is a sandbox mode, but the real fun is the campaign. The main campaign has you crash landed on a alien planet. The pieces of your ship and cargo are now scattered all over the planet. In order to escape, you must find all the salvage and use these pieces to ultimately build a rocket ship to escape.
There's virtually no story, the planet is quite lifeless and mostly unremarkable. What's fun, however, is finding and using the salvage scattered around the planet to build all sorts of devices to help you achieve your goal. You'll start with a simple car but as you get more pieces, you'll end up building more complicated and fanciful machines. By the end, I built a monster truck and floats on water with a retractable tractor beam arm, a hover ship (multiple versions that got better over time) that helped me fly into a volcano and retrieve a critical piece of salvage, and a submarine to explore the deep tranches for loot. It was a blast. And you'll need to be really creative because some of the salvage can be deviously hard to get to and bring back to your salvage nodes.
The game gives you templates to build some basic crafts, but the real fun is building your own. The sky's the limit because you're given a large array of blocks and tools to make just the right machine for the job.
I played the entire game with a controller and it worked pretty well, which surprised me as games like this are usually MK only. The game also ran very smooth even with complicated machines. There is also a lot of game packed in, with different campaigns, modes, and a previously mentioned sandbox mode. You will absolutely get your money's worth.
