    A minimal-looking aesthetic that fits the Switch perfectly, Absolute Drift is a delight to get absorbed into. You won’t master it straight away, but when you get the hang of it you’ll be hooning about in no time.

    Absolute Drift is a perfect game for fans of driving games. It's a nice experiment with simple but hard-to-master mechanics.

    It's already bad, but to make things even worse, you loose all your progress when it happens...
    Spending an hour completing a challenge is fun the first time, but when you have to do it three times in a row because the game froze and "forgot" to save your progress, it spoils any enjoyment.

    The Switch version also lacks analog throttle. This is mainly due to the fact Nintendo didn't include analog triggers on the joy-cons, but it makes a hard-to-control game even harder.    … Full Review »
