Drift Legends 2

Kinda fun, it's pretty decent as far as free games go. For being unlicensed cars the models are pretty accurate, and while there is no visual customisation besides paint, liveries, wheel type/colour, and plates, there's a very wide range of cars with some having multiple variations. Whatever the non licensed AE86 stand in is for instance has a standard Trueno hatch, a Levin coupe drift car, two different widebody Levin Hatches with different aero set ups and probably at least one other Trueno I'm forgetting. The few customisation options the game does have are pretty obviously inspired by real life car culture and actually quite well researched, with there being license plates for different engine types that the licensed cars would have in real life (eg: the 13b for the Mazda RX-7, an RB plate for the Skyline etc) and some very accurate Japanese plates for JDM cars, plus a few inspired by movies and tv like an outtatime plate. However, it is lacking immensely in gameplay variation and every single car feels the same just more or less powerful with absolutely no tuning or performance customisation available to you. The campaign becomes tedious and repetitive, then quickly becomes almost impossible after a certain point because the only eligible cars are either paid DLC or cost a million or more credits to buy. Then once you finally buy that car, it is only eligible for 3-6 races and then you have to buy another one just to do the next set of races. Back to the several hour grind. The servers seem to have pretty constant issues with people being unable to do the online tournament because of an "AUerr.-5" code that keeps showing up with no response from the devs at all, yet there is a continuous stream of paid dlc being released. Also seems like they recently removed the in game chat entirely, which was fair, because a lot of heinous and awful things were being said, but I feel removing the chat entirely just shows that they couldn't be bothered to actually moderate it and don't care all that much about the games community. Don't get me wrong, I'm not going to blame them for that, it's not like it's a smash hit with a dedicated fanbase who paid for the game, it's a free steam game with a tiny handful of people still playing who find it kinda fun. But for those who are wondering if its worth supporting or sinking any real amount of time into, no, probably not. As a sorta fun arcade drifter maybe one step up from a mobile game, yeah sure, why not.
