    First off, the games learning curve is so steep that most players are “driven” away 4 minutes into the game, a new player might see the game and think that there about to experience a fun drifting game but what they get is rage inducing gameplay that only true car/drift enthusiasts can power through.

    The design choice was a good idea but the maps are almost impossible to navigate because of the overly bright palette, it makes the simplest of turns Aggravating and unpleasant, especially the tutorial.

    The game's aesthetics are subjective, but I like the minimalist look.
    The driving is very challenging and will take a while to master, but is fun for the most part (clipping zones are sometimes finicky).
    However ! The game is very unstable. It will freeze randomly, after a few minutes or after an hour. It's already bad, but to make things even worse, you loose all your progress when it

    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.

    Absolute Drift: Zen Edition is a peaceful driving game crafted to focus on control, precision and challenging yourself.

    It's really sad that the learning curve is so massive that it acts like a wall that keeps most players from enjoying this. It's sad, because those who'll persevere, and manage to reach that 'Zen' level of razor-sharp precision, are the only ones who can really understand how exciting Absolute Drift can be. That being said, when a game is all about drifting, the fun factor won't last for long.

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