We enjoyed Inertial Drift when it was first released for PS4 in 2020, and we’re happy to declare it still an addicting arcade racer in 2022. The pack, if you’re still on PS4), comes with fresh content like more trucks, cars, and even a new story mode to conquer. All in all, it’s a pretty meaty expansion that adds welcome value to an already stylish package.
The title’s twin-stick drive system can take some getting used to, but once your muscle memory settles (and you know the track) it’s satisfyingly smooth. This is by no means an easy game – it can be quite difficult in fact – but once you start shaving a few seconds off your lap times you can successfully soothe the ‘one more go’ mentality.
But Twilight Rivals probably won’t hook you if you didn’t get hooked on the core concept first. Drifting games still struggle to convey the feeling that you’re competing against real opponents. Even his one-on-one duels in the new campaign feel like Time his trials against Ghost Data. The clock is the real enemy here, and that never changes no matter what mode you’re playing.
As a result, the experience as a whole can be a little shallow, but at least it’s clean. do the work. Being able to get into the zone and be prepared for the often tough challenges, Twilight Rivals is nothing short of what his Inertial Drift excels at.
