Neon Drift Circuit

Neon Drift Circuit isn't chasing realism. It's about chaining drifts, boosting out of corners, and shaving seconds off your best lap. The tilt and touch options both work, though I settled on the on-screen buttons for the extra precision on tight hairpins.

Cars unlock through progression, and each handles differently enough to matter. The neon aesthetic could feel gimmicky, but the tracks are readable at high speed, which is the part that counts.

There's a ghost mode to race your own best runs, and that hooked me more than the AI opponents. Beating my own time again and again is exactly the loop I want from an arcade racer.

What we liked

• Satisfying drift-and-boost rhythm
