Racing
Driftline Horizon
★★★★★ 4.6
Driftline Horizon is the kind of racer that gets its hooks in fast. You tilt to steer, tap to drift, and the whole thing is tuned so that holding a long slide feels like the point of every corner. The sense of speed is excellent on a phone, and the city tracks are packed with alley shortcuts worth memorising.
- Genuinely great sense of speed
- Tuning that changes how cars feel
- Loads of shortcuts to learn

Questions & answers
How do you decide which games to review?
We pull from reader suggestions, store trends, and whatever one of us can't stop playing that week. Racing, arcade and casual games get a little priority because that's our wheelhouse, but we'll cover any genre if it earns our attention.
Do developers pay you for reviews?
No. A developer can send us a copy or a key, but that never buys a score or a kind word. If we test a game someone sent us and it's mediocre, we say that.
Can I suggest a game you should look at?
Yes, please do. Email us the name and a line about why you like it, and it goes on our list. Legends of Slots is an example of a reader-suggested game we ended up reviewing in full.
Is there advertising on the site?
We run light, standard display ads to keep the lights on, and they're kept separate from our editorial. No advertiser sees a review before it goes live, and no one can pay to change what we write.
