Dustline Rally

Dustline Rally is all about momentum. You tilt to steer and tap to brake, and the magic happens when you learn to throw the car into a corner and ride the slide out the other side. It took me a few races to trust the tilt controls, but once it clicked the sense of speed was addictive.

Tracks are varied — forest stages, dusty canyons, a rainy night circuit that genuinely changes how the car grips. There's a light upgrade system, but you can do well on skill alone, which I liked. Nothing felt locked behind endless grinding.

The engine audio is a little thin and a couple of tracks look samey, but the handling model is the star here and it holds up. If you want pick-up-and-go racing with real feel, it delivers.

What we liked

• Believable drift handling
• Weather that changes driving
• No grind wall to progress
