Neon Drift Club

Neon Drift Club is pure arcade fun. Forget realistic handling, this is about holding a drift as long as you can while the score meter climbs. The tracks loop through glowing cities that look great even on mid-range phones. The touch control scheme surprised me. You tilt or tap to steer, and I found the tap layout far easier for drifting than tilt, which wandered too much. There are three sensitivity presets in settings, and the middle one felt just right. Sessions are short by design, which keeps battery drain reasonable, though the game does run warm. It's not deep, but it doesn't pretend to be. When I want two quick minutes of speed, this is what I open.

What we liked

• Tap steering that actually helps with drifts
• Bright tracks that run well on mid-range phones
• Short races perfect for quick breaks
