Drift Legends 2

A drift begins before the corner looks dramatic. The approach sets up the slide, and what you do with the throttle changes the angle all the way through it. Drift Legends 2 builds a career around that sequence. When a run goes wrong, try the same entry again before switching cars. It is easier to learn what a little more steering did when everything else is familiar. Once you can repeat the first corner, the interesting question becomes where that slide leaves you for the next one.

The garage gives those practice sessions some variety. The developer describes a collection of more than fifty cars, including Japanese drift favorites and American muscle. A favorite can earn its place because you understand its reactions, even after something newer becomes available. Visual customization gives you another reason to keep it. The story campaign offers a route through the collection for someone who prefers a specific challenge to an open practice session.

Online play gives friends a way to compare what they have learned. The publisher lists both competitive and cooperative online modes, cross-platform competition and recurring events. Agree on the mode you intend to enter before launching. Some competition happens through scores or asynchronous runs, so seeing a friend on a leaderboard is a different experience from seeing them in the same session.

The Windows Steam release supports a controller. For your first few attempts, keep the same car and use the pressure on the throttle trigger to experiment with a single turn. When you find an approach that works, move the experiment to a pair of corners. Getting the car settled between them is the part worth practicing.
