Neon Drift City

Neon Drift City is pure arcade racing with a heavy focus on sliding around corners. You unlock cars, tune them a bit, and chase times across a set of neon-soaked circuits. It doesn't try to simulate real physics; it wants you to feel fast and stylish.

The drift mechanic is the whole point. Chaining long slides fills a boost meter, and learning when to flick the car into a corner is what separates a decent lap from a great one. Touch controls default to tilt but you can switch to buttons, which I preferred.

All tracks and cars are available offline once installed. There's a ghost-race mode against your own best runs, so there's a reason to keep grinding even without any live players.

What we liked

• Satisfying drift-and-boost loop
• Tilt or button controls
• Ghost races for solo replay
