Absolute Drift

This is a good game. A perfectly ordinary good game, however, it is not much more. It's pretty short, took me about 6 hours to beat with 100% achievements on normal difficulty, but it didn't feel tedious. The game provided a steady challenge up to the end, but didn't lock progress behind very hard-to-get achievements. The one thing that stood out negatively for me, was the music. It fits the theme, but at a point towards the game's end, it got very repetitive and kind of annoying, but that could be a matter of taste as well. 3/5 from someone who's not really into arcade racing.

One fasset that really stands out in this game are the drift physics. How you can maneuver the car into doing your bidding. This makes you feel like a boss when nailing those hard courses. I played the game on hard and 100% it in 14h30min. Not easy but also not very hard. What can be frustrating though is the hitboxes of the clips. They often don't register as wel as perfect driftlines. You'll be repeating some courses for quite a while to get all the objectives. Now the annoying things... While the music was oké at the start of the game, I quickly switched to a playlist of my own. I find it a bit weird how loud some of the sound effects are in-game. When hitting the red boxes, perfect driftlines, grey boxes, when being airbourne, those sounds can become quite a nuisance. It's a pity they can be turned off seperatly in-game. I grinded the courses to be top 1 or 2% but apart from that, there isn't any replayabilty in my opinion. It was fun, graphics were oké, sound design could be better.

This game has its crowd and I am not apart of that group. If you like the style of the old GTA games then you might like this. Overall I didn't enjoy it but that's just me.

Received it for free. Impossible to THROTTLE the... throttle with a keyboard. You have to try and tap the accelerate key and it's just super cumbersome. The control style would be much more suited to an action type drifting game. This is just a mess.

Tutorial is a joke. Controls are straight bad. Where does the car goes when you use the gamepad? Who knows, you don't control it anyway.
