Drift Canyon Rush

Drift Canyon Rush is the kind of racer that doesn't bother with realism and is better for it. You tilt or tap to steer, hold to drift, and the whole game rewards you for stringing long slides together through narrow canyon passes. The first time you nail a full corner at speed, it clicks.

The track variety is the real win here. One minute you're kicking up dust in a sunset canyon, the next you're carving through a neon city at night. Cars handle differently enough that upgrading actually changes how you play instead of just bumping a number.

It does have a steeper learning curve than most arcade racers, and the early minutes can feel twitchy. Stick with it for twenty minutes and the controls start to feel like second nature.

What we liked

• Satisfying drift-based handling
• Genuinely varied track themes
• Cars that feel distinct from each other
