play it, suck at it, leave it for 6 months, come back, actually learn the game, become a god at the game, fall in love with the track design, the graphics and the vibe. Great game

So much fun as an arcade racer and totally worth my time. figuring out how each car drives keeps the game interesting and challenging with the different match-ups that come up.

This is a fantastic gem of a game truly like no other. I play a lot of racing games and each one makes me unlearn and relearn my muscle memory when I switch between them, but in Inertial Drift every single car requires you to do that to some extent (On top of the unique separate drift and steer sticks that every car boasts). At first this was really annoying and it pissed me off, but after taking a break and coming back to it, with some help from a friend who is very good at the game, I've fallen back in love with it! It almost turns the racing genre into a strategy game , learning how each car operates and then deciding what inputs to use for each type of turn. The game involves a lot of repetition which would annoy me in other racing games, but the uniqueness of each car and the satisfaction of finally figuring out how to get that gold time makes it fun for me. I don't seek out the sort of anime drifting car aesthetic, but the vibes in this game are amazing, the visuals, sound design and music are amazing, the only shame is that there isn't more racetracks and audio tracks - but for what there is its amazing. If I wasn't focussing on optimising my lines so much it would be a very serene experience. The game is slightly rough around the edges, with some minor glitches that don't impact gameplay much, but that's completely excusable for this size of a game. I really appreciate the inclusion of a story with the biggest diversity interesting characters I've seen that develop through each campaign. However, I think its kinda dumb how in 1v1 races opponents are always supportive of you no matter what, there's maybe like 20 characters in the whole game and only one has the gall to be a little boastful when they overtake you instead of consoling you for falling behind. A very superficial downside though. Honestly the saddest part is since it's a very small indie game, the multiplayer is totally dead, though that means getting into a race with a friend is very easy! I haven't bought the DLC yet but I plan on doing so in the future. If this game is on sale then I implore you to try it! Even if you end up getting overwhelmed by all the different control schemes of each car like I did, the first two difficulty levels in the campaign are very easy to get a hold of and fun and unique racing game experiences!

im realy sad about the configurations of this game, before buying it i got the first chapter to see if it would run in my potato of a computer, and it did, and i loved it, but with the resolution turned way down, so i buy the full game and try to put the same res i had in the free one, and it does not let me, so now the game has to low fps to play, i am realy confused as how this is even an issue, why not give the option to have lower resolution? it is clearly possible and makes the game acessible to a wider audience of players

The gameplay in this game is fantastic, it's like a modern successor to the drift racing of the PSP Ridge Racer games. It runs really well on Steam Deck and I really enjoyed it. However, you need to skip the story, it's utterly terrible. It focuses on a bunch of whiny teenagers/twenty somethings with self confidence problems that won't shut up about: "I don't know if I can do this! Maybe I should go and climb back into my mother's womb?!?! Waaah!". Then you have these other characters that you just clobbered on the track saying: "you gotta do this and you gotta do that or you'll never succeed like me!" and I'm just there thinking: "asshole, I just beat you by like ten seconds, shut up and go give your advice to someone that cares". Why would dorks like these even be drift racing in the first place? They seem like the kind of people that spend all day sucking their thumbs in Starbucks worrying about political correctness arguments on Twitter. Remember in Ridge Racer 4 on the PSX where Namco told these incredible, deep, complex stories for each of the four teams with a handful of dialogue lines and a few grainy, pixelated headshots? That was racing game story telling, not this nonsense. Skip the story, stay for the genuinely great racing.
