Neon Drift Rally
★★★★☆ 4.2
Neon Drift Rally is pure adrenaline. It's an arcade racer, unapologetically, with tracks that light up like a synthwave album cover. The drift mechanic is the star — nail a long slide and the boost payoff feels fantastic.
Touch controls could easily have ruined this, but they nailed it. Tilt to steer or tap the sides, and a single button to drift. It clicked within one race. The car unlocks come at a fair pace and each handles noticeably differently.
There's not much of a story here, but it doesn't pretend otherwise. It's a game for chasing lap times and I've reset my best more times than I'd admit.
