June 2025
Game is fun but flawed and with more time it could be really good. For a little team it's definitely worth the price imo, but it has some big issues atm. Graphics are great, runs fine (but I have a 4090), no suttering on my rig (it's an UE game). Playing with a wheel is very hard, I'm not really good in drifting and I had to practice for like 2hrs before winning the first race (and setting the game on easy)... this shows my main issue with the game and that's the balance : you are thrown in a race with a bad car and no experience at all, it's very frustrating and it keeps happening. After that you get your own car and you have to do a Drift contest, except your car is stock and almost can't drift while your opponent has an overtuned drift car... you can see the issue. The AI is also really bad, traffic or opponent it's the same. Apart from that, map is gorgeous and varied, finally a game with real narrow roads. It might be the best map in any arcade racing game (played most of the others). Lastly OST is glorious, eurobeats is so good it feels like I'm in intial D. Love it !! Recommended.

Developers ! Please Read! Enable Cloud Saves! Completed the game in less then 18 hours, Got all trophies under 21 hours. Please don't give a negative review because of your own skill issues with drifting, or the fact your low end/medium end PC from 5 years ago isn't up to scratch, loading off a Hard drive or an old SSD with slow times, or the fact you can not run the game at 100 fps because you have it in ultra and think your 2070/1660 should be able to run games of today in max, or because you think it is too blurry because you don't know how to adjust the settings correctly. That's not fair. People like me sit and look at the reviews before buying and i almost passed it up due to seeing all the negatives before i saw any positives due to the way steam is. I know a lot of you rush to make negative reviews rather then being honest because you rather sprout hate and garnish clicks rather then being constructive but you literally ruin it for developers and in the end, for the players. I am glad i bought it in the end. This game is about drifting, if you can not do it in other car games you may struggle here and it may not be for you, but once you nail it, it feels great. The Music is great,plenty of radio stations from EDM to Synth wave, Rock even k-pop if your into it, something for everyone, i leave it on EDM or Synth wave. The graphics for an Indie game are fantastic. If we look at self proclaimed Ubisoft quadruple A game, The Crew Motorfest, they was missing rear view mirrors and side mirror reflections at game release, and they are also capped at 60fps! Here, we have an unlocked frame rate and all the bells and whistles. It looks amazing for an Indie game. Performance is smooth for the most part, i have had a few stutters, but not like people have made out, i get a stutter every now and again when going somewhere different.My game isn't blurry, I have DLSS set to native! I have frame Gen off! i am running 1440p, reflection, global illumination and anti-aliasing at High, Environment and detail quality at max, everything else High Plus. This nets me over 70 fps and rarely dips below 60. I am running a 4070ti, 6400MHZ 32g ram, off a samsung evo 980 2 tb with a 14700k with a ROG Mobo.

It probably should have stayed in the oven and baked for a bit longer. It's a fun drift game, very bare bones, probably not worth $30, but scratches the drifting itch.

TLDR: Absolutely amazing game with a room to grow. I played this game when it had a public demo and many things are vastly improved. The team is really working hard. The good: - Amazing graphics - Epic landscapes - Lots of cars and customizations - Different styles of radios - Top notch gamepad experience - The team is updating the game nonstop The bad: - The performance could be improved, which I am sure the team is working on - Lack of cloud and continuous saves. I have gone to one side of the map and next time I start the game I start at the garage. Conclusion: This game scratches the itch I needed scratched. You feel great car control but it is adapted for gamepad and feels natural. And most of all - the scenery as absolutely amazing. Yes, performance is not top of the line right now, but it is hardly as bad as some whiners suggest. I run this game on almost max graphics with 3070Ti. My advice: Buy the game, support the developers and have casual fun.
