Neon Drift Rally

Neon Drift Rally is loud, fast, and unapologetic. You race through neon-lit streets and hold drifts to fill a boost bar, then dump it all on a straightaway. It's not a simulator — it's a thumb-on-fire arcade thrill, and it knows exactly what it is.

The controls default to tilt steering with on-screen brake and boost, but you can switch to full touch controls in settings, which we strongly recommend for crowded trains. Tilt is fun on the couch but awkward anywhere you can't move your whole body.

This is the one game in our catalog that will warm your phone up. Long sessions get the back of the device toasty and chew through battery fast, so plan accordingly. For short bursts, though, it's a blast.

What we liked

• Satisfying drift-and-boost loop
• Switchable tilt or touch controls
• Great for quick adrenaline sessions
