    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.    … Expand

    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    The game's aesthetics are subjective, but I like the minimalist look.

    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.

    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.
