Neon Drift Circuit

Neon Drift Circuit isn't trying to be a simulator and it's better for it. You tap to drift, release to grip, and chain long slides to build boost. The whole thing is about flow, and once the handling clicks it feels fantastic to thread a corner you botched ten times before.

The track design is the star. Loops, split paths and sudden tunnels keep each lap interesting, and the neon art holds up even on a smaller screen. There's a solid sense of speed without the camera getting nauseating.

Progression is a bit thin, with cars that mostly feel similar once upgraded. But as a game to pick up for a few quick races, the core driving is genuinely good.

What we liked

• Drift handling that feels great once it clicks
• Inventive, readable track layouts
• Strong sense of speed without camera chaos
