Neon Driftline

Neon Driftline throws out the brake pedal and asks you to master the slide instead. You tilt or tap to drift, chaining corners into long ribbons of light while a pumping soundtrack keeps the energy up. It is pure arcade racing, no fuss.

Controls are the star here. The drift feels weighty and predictable, so wipeouts are almost always your fault, not the game's. Unlocking new cars is quick, and each one handles differently enough to change your line through a track.

Short races make it ideal for mobile. We kept saying one more lap and losing half an hour to it.

What we liked
