Driftwood (2025)

When it works, it really sells that longboarding experience I know nothing about. The sense of speed is amazing, the drifting with the butter/oil feels great when doing scoring runs, and all the maps have an amazing sense of scale and really outstanding art directions. I have nitpicks on some level designs, like planting a TREE in a middle of a shortcut. Besides that, I'd say sometime the physics can be finnicky, and you'd get stuck floating 50cm away from the road forever on some maps. There's a lot of tiny frustrating elements that tarnish a great package, but it's still to me a recommendation overall. It's not perfect, but it's doing a lot of things right.

One of the best downhill games I've played, almost on par with Descenders (first of its name) which is my favorite. Took me a couple of hours to understand how to turn properly but once it clicked it flows really well, the character has weight and the controls are really tight. The challenges are well designed too, making you replay the map in various ways (scoring, speeding, finding hidden shortcuts, funny ones like "stick of butter" wheels...) and letting you ramp up your skill at a nice pace. The soundtrack is good for the most part and the minimalist art style fits well with the laid back feel of the game.

It plays how it looks in the trailers but damn is it unpolished in a way that can sour the experience sometimes. Bad performance, glitches every single time you crash, somewhat unfinished optimization and geometry on a few tracks. The respawn system can bug out and kill a run. I just don't get why these guys are charging $20 for something in this bad of a state. They %100 owe it to their consumers to fix some stuff and make some changes because right now I'm not satisfied with the 1.0 experience as somebody who got this day 1 of early access.

really fun especially with friends

chill game, lotsa fun

Really fun, easy to learn hard to master, chill game about bombing hills. The control scheme is close to perfect when it comes to intuitivity and movement creativity. The few things that this game really really really do well to add are; 1. Inline Skates (ideally with varying types of wheel size and hardness) 2. A (hopefully Zeepkist style) level editor with workshop support 3. More music or a way to play local/online playlists with in game support. ---{ Graphics }--- ☐ You forget what reality is ☐ Beautiful ☐ Good ☑ Decent ☐ Bad ☐ Don‘t look too long at it ☐ MS-DOS ---{ Gameplay }--- ☑ Very good ☐ Good ☐ It's just gameplay ☐ Mehh ☐ Watch paint dry instead ☐ Just don't ---{ Audio }--- ☐ Eargasm ☑ Very good ☐ Good ☐ Not too bad ☐ Bad ☐ I'm now deaf ---{ Audience }--- ☑ Kids ☑ Teens ☑ Adults ☑ Grandma ---{ PC Requirements }--- ☐ Check if you can run paint ☐ Potato ☑ Decent ☐ Fast ☐ Rich boi ☐ Ask NASA if they have a spare computer ---{ Game Size }--- ☐ Floppy Disk ☑ Old Fashioned ☐ Workable ☐ Big ☐ Will eat 15% of your 1TB hard drive ☐ You will want an entire hard drive to hold it ☐ You will need to invest in a black hole to …
