❤ Drifting Physics and Feel

Players frequently praise the game's satisfying and well-executed drifting physics and handling model. Reviewers favorably compare the drifting mechanics to other popular drift-focused games, describing the game as striking a balance between arcade-like approachability and a sense of realism. Both controller and steering wheel users report that the cars feel smooth and responsive when drifting, with a natural sense of weight transfer and lateral g-forces. The game allows for a good range of drift angles and techniques, from gentle sweeping drifts to aggressive angle-maxing. Many reviewers highlight noticeable improvements in the physics and drifting feel over the course of the game's Early Access updates.

❤ Open World and Track Variety

The game's large, open-world environment offers a diverse mix of environments and track configurations, from tight mountain passes and industrial zones to open highways and purpose-built drift arenas. Reviewers appreciate the sense of freedom and exploration afforded by the open world, as well as the inclusion of recognizable real-world drift tracks like the Ebisu circuit. The variety in track layouts and scenery is praised, with players enjoying the ability to freely cruise between different drift-focused areas.

❤ Customization and Progression

While the customization options are not as extensive as some players would like, the existing car tuning and visual customization systems are frequently highlighted as strengths. Reviewers enjoy the ability to fine-tune various suspension, drivetrain, and aerodynamic parameters to optimize their cars for drifting, with noticeable performance changes resulting from these upgrades. The visual customization, including the game's advanced livery editor, also receives praise, allowing players to create unique, personalized car designs and share them with the community. The progression system, which revolves around earning drift points to unlock new cars and upgrades, is seen as a solid, if somewhat grindy, loop that keeps players engaged.
