Dust Circuit
★★★★☆ 4.1
Dust Circuit is unapologetic arcade racing. Forget realistic physics — this is about throwing your car sideways through a canyon and hoping it comes out the other end. The tracks are short and packed with jumps, and the drift model is forgiving in the best way.
Controls default to tilt steering with tap-to-brake, but there's a proper button layout too, which I switched to almost immediately. Once I did, the handling clicked and I started shaving seconds off every run. The sense of speed is excellent, helped by a camera that hugs the car tightly.
There's not a huge amount of content, and you'll see all the tracks fairly quickly. But the chase for better times is what keeps it installed. It's a great burst of adrenaline between longer games.
What we liked
- Forgiving, fun drift handling
- Real button controls, not just tilt
- Great sense of speed
