Neon Drift Circuit

Neon Drift Circuit is all about the slide. It's an arcade racer that leans into drifting, and once you get the feel for feathering the brake into a corner it becomes genuinely fun. You can play with tilt or on-screen controls, and both work.

Tracks are varied and the sense of speed is good without turning into a blur. Car upgrades are cosmetic-and-handling focused, which we appreciated. The one weak spot is the AI, which can rubber-band a little in later cups.

For quick races on a break it's great, and there's enough of a mastery curve to keep coming back to beat your times.

What we liked
