Neon Drift Loop

Neon Drift Loop is pure arcade racing energy. Forget realistic physics — this is about chaining drifts, holding your line and shaving tenths off a lap. The one-thumb controls are surprisingly precise once you feel the rhythm.

There's a chunky selection of tracks and a career mode that unlocks new cars as you improve. We kept redoing the same circuit just to beat our own ghost lap, which is always the sign of a good arcade racer.

The soundtrack is loud and the visuals are bright, so it's not a subtle game. But as an offline pick-up-and-play racer, it delivers exactly what it promises.

What we liked

• Tight one-thumb drift controls
• Ghost laps that keep you coming back
• Full career mode without a connection
