All players need to do is simply click blocks together to make basic ideas, and the intuitive vehicle creator makes fairly complex construction very simple from there. While creatively a bit banal, the familiarity gives an instant sense of understanding of how players can quickly make the ideas in their heads a reality.
The blocks that make up the vehicles that players will build have an unmistakable resemblance to Lego. Rather than adopting a first-person view like Minecraft, Trailmakers is third person, giving the world a much wider feeling, which works much better with the game’s focus on vehicular mechanics. The game operates using a very similar style where you control a small character that can build structures out of individual blocks. Players familiar with Lego Dimensions will feel right at home with Trailmakers.
