Neon Drift Circuit

Neon Drift Circuit isn't trying to be a serious simulator. It wants you sliding sideways through neon corners at high speed, and on that front it delivers. The handling model is forgiving, tuned so that chaining drifts feels great even if you've never touched a racing game before.

Tilt and tap controls are both offered, and we found the tap-to-steer option surprisingly precise once you adjust the sensitivity. The soundtrack leans into synth beats that match the glowing aesthetic perfectly.

Track variety is a little thin at launch, but the ones that exist are well designed with proper shortcuts to discover. It's a brilliant quick-race game for short sessions.

What we liked

• Easy, satisfying drift mechanics
• Two control schemes to choose from
• Great synth soundtrack
