Neon Drift Circuit

Neon Drift Circuit is pure arcade joy. There's no fussy tuning simulation here, just tight tracks, long drifts, and a boost meter that rewards taking corners aggressively. It clicked for me within the first race.

You get a choice between tilt steering and on-screen buttons, and unusually, both are actually good. I settled on tilt for the flow of it, but the touch layout is responsive enough that I never felt handicapped switching back.

This is the one game in this batch that will eat your battery. Lots of light effects, high frame rates, constant screen motion. Worth it for a few races, but check your charge before a long session.

What we liked

• Both tilt and touch controls work well
• Immediate, satisfying drift mechanics
• Great for quick five-minute races
