Neon Drift Circuit

Neon Drift Circuit is pure arcade joy. The tracks loop through glowing cities at night, and the whole game is tuned around holding a drift through a corner to build boost. Once the drift timing clicks, it feels fantastic.

You can steer by tilt or by on-screen buttons, and both work well after a short adjustment period. We preferred tilt for the longer tracks because it frees up a finger for the boost button. Car upgrades are cosmetic enough that skill still decides most races.

There isn't much of a story, and you'll see repeated track layouts eventually, but for quick adrenaline runs it's exactly right.

What we liked

• Snappy drift-and-boost loop
• Tilt or button steering
• Great sense of speed
