In most open-world racing games, drifting is an option – you can tune your car or buy a specialized drift machine to slide round bends in a cloud of your own smoke, if you want to. In Japanese Drift Master, it is at the core of everything. This intriguing new racing game may not provide the multiplayer thrills of The Crew, Test Drive, and Forza Horizon, but it feels pleasantly unique in comparison to those big dogs of the open-world genre. You’ll be able to experience its recreation of Japan for yourself pretty soon, too, as JDM has just locked in its release date.
