Absolute Drifting’s review

Today I’d like to review an original videogame available soon on PS4 : Absolute Drift. I’ve tested the game for a while on my Windows workstation, through Steam‘s platform. It’s an very original idea, featuring a gameplay half way between casual gaming and simulation. The PC version is played using only your keyboard and an isometric view that makes the game a unique experience.

You’ll be able to choose from a six car garage and some customization options. Be aware, you won’t have the huge range of options you have in Need for Speed. It’s all about changing the car color or graphics, using flags or other simple geometric elements. You’ll start with a Toyota AE86 so the chances are that you won’t feel the need for other cars.

Absolute Drift features different play modes, but they share a common element. You drive your car in white tinted minimalistic environments, where the white background will become the canvas where you are going to paint – litterally – your trajectories. The driving’s phisics are developed with accuracy, but the handling is nearer to 4×4 then to a RWD car. Be carefull, the control is far from easy and this guarantees the games’ longevity. Besides classic clipping points – marked by white and red poles – you’ll have the chance to score more points by hitting red boxes which are spread through the driving area. On Steam the games  costs about 7 €, that’s not really cheap but I think the is worth its cost.
