Nitro Drift League

Nitro Drift League doesn't pretend to be a simulator. It's pure arcade fun, and the whole game leans into drifting. Corners are built to be slid through, and chaining drifts fills your boost, which then lets you carry stupid amounts of speed onto the next straight.

The controls are two-thumb by default, but there's a tilt option that works better than I expected. Cars feel light and forgiving, so even bad players like me can string together a decent lap.

Tracks are varied and the sense of speed is excellent. It's the game I hand to friends when they say mobile racing feels floaty.

What we liked

• Drift chaining that feels great
• Strong sense of speed
• Forgiving, arcade-friendly handling
