But its ambitions are far higher than the throwaway drift events in EA\u2019s racers, and in fact higher than those games in their entirety. Here\u2019s a game that wants to capture every nuance of drift culture and its Japanese origins, wants to tell you a story about an outsider in an insular community, a failing sushi delivery business and an unsolved murder all at once, all through the medium of anime comic panels.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s also an open-world game with NPC storylines, with an impressive roster of licensed vehicles and a heaving catalogue of visual and performance parts for all of them. And at the nucleus is a driving discipline which most games treat as a momentary diversion.<\/p>\n<p>The handling model takes on crucial importance here. Not only does it need to make drifting fun, challenging, and vaguely authentic as a simulation, it also needs to make driving around the open world when you\u2019re not powersliding for high scores feel pleasant. There are drag events, grip races and delivery runs in JDM\u2019s event roster and in all of them, getting a drift going is a bad idea because it slows you down. It also offers arcade and sim handling options, with a range of assists within them.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure inline-layout\" data-bordeaux-image-check >\n<div class='image-full-width-wrapper'>\n<div class='image-widthsetter' style=\"max-width:2560px;\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\" style=\"padding-top:62.50%;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"8sT6fUKuf9Rw48VFDyQ2f3\" name=\"\" alt=\"JDM\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/jdm-japanese-drift-master-review.jpg\" mos=\"\" align=\"middle\" fullscreen=\"\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1600\" attribution=\"\" endorsement=\"\" class=\"\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption itemprop=\"caption description\" class=\" inline-layout\"><span class=\"credit\" itemprop=\"copyrightHolder\">(Image credit: Gaming Factory)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Is it versatile enough to pull that off? It is not. Using either arcade or sim physics, trying to drive your car conventionally around the narrow suburban streets of JDM\u2019s fictional Japanese burgh always feels a bit awkward and that only comes to the fore when you race in track events. Fortunately, the drift physics are spot on.<\/p>\n<p>And that\u2019s why I completely forgive it for not being Forza Horizon in a straight line. Once the steering angles are applied, It\u2019s an odyssey of tire smoke and revs bouncing off the limiter. There\u2019s such a pure sense of gratification to holding a drift angle in parallel with the angle of a turn, reminiscent of pulling off a nice long grind in Tony Hawk\u2019s Pro Skater, it\u2019s enough to make you care about drifting as much as Gaming Factory clearly does.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s the other thing: this feels like a pleasantly personal game. It\u2019s fascinated with esoterica that other games would brush past. How many stories have you read about a young Polish boy trying to ingratiate himself in a suburban Japanese community? Hardly any, is my guess.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure inline-layout\" data-bordeaux-image-check >\n<div class='image-full-width-wrapper'>\n<div class='image-widthsetter' style=\"max-width:2560px;\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\" style=\"padding-top:62.50%;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"jWsPY9uPcrp6vDKE2qfhe3\" name=\"\" alt=\"JDM\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/jdm-japanese-drift-master-review-1.jpg\" mos=\"\" align=\"middle\" fullscreen=\"\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1600\" attribution=\"\" endorsement=\"\" class=\"\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption itemprop=\"caption description\" class=\" inline-layout\"><span class=\"credit\" itemprop=\"copyrightHolder\">(Image credit: Gaming Factory)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>How many games let you clutch-kick during a drift, or mess about with your wheel alignment angle to fine-tune the sensation of mid-corner control? But JDM does, because it seems determined to be the alpha and omega of this one thing. And that\u2019s smart. A small independent project like this isn\u2019t going to topple Need For Speed, but it can put its flag resolutely in one specific piece of its territory.<\/p>\n<p>You know how it goes with ambitious, eccentric passion projects, though: there are rough edges. And boy howdy, you could lose a few layers of skin brushing against this thing.<\/p>\n<p>Know that I take no pleasure in reciting this list. There are translation issues (an early tutorial message explains how \u2018breaking\u2019 to slow the car works). There are optimization issues. And I say that with the considerable qualification that my RTX 2080 TI is no longer the frame-vaporizing powerhouse it once was\u2014I\u2019m fine with not hitting max settings if the pixel fidelity\u2019s appropriately high, but JDM\u2019s scenes just don\u2019t justify the chug.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure inline-layout\" data-bordeaux-image-check >\n<div class='image-full-width-wrapper'>\n<div class='image-widthsetter' style=\"max-width:2560px;\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\" style=\"padding-top:62.50%;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"GZD2Aoact3FbGghesa4He3\" name=\"\" alt=\"JDM\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/jdm-japanese-drift-master-review-2.jpg\" mos=\"\" align=\"middle\" fullscreen=\"\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1600\" attribution=\"\" endorsement=\"\" class=\"\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption itemprop=\"caption description\" class=\" inline-layout\"><span class=\"credit\" itemprop=\"copyrightHolder\">(Image credit: Gaming Factory)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Loading screens are onscreen more often than they should be, hanging around for just a few extra seconds whenever you teleport between garages on the map, enter or exit a mission. And the map markers sometimes blend into the map detail.<\/p>\n<p>It takes too long to turn a page in the anime sections (really, though). After completing an event, there\u2019s five to ten seconds of awkwardness, waiting for the UI to show you various messages about things you just unlocked, levelled up, or completed, before it\u2019ll show you the next mission on the map. Trying to set that mission location as a waypoint and have the map show you a route there is not a foregone conclusion. There are odd difficulty spikes, and other events at which the AI drivers seem fairly hapless.<\/p>\n<p>So it goes, throughout the game\u2019s five chapters. If you look for them, you\u2019ll see morsels of jank just about everywhere. Some are pretty inconsequential, or even endearing (there\u2019s an earnestness to the storytelling in those comic panels that\u2019s hard to hate, however basic the component parts may be), but a couple\u2014the performance and AI issues\u2014are harder to turn a blind eye to.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure inline-layout\" data-bordeaux-image-check >\n<div class='image-full-width-wrapper'>\n<div class='image-widthsetter' style=\"max-width:2560px;\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\" style=\"padding-top:62.50%;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"yx9rsr3iDqBFCesTVTdid3\" name=\"\" alt=\"JDM\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/jdm-japanese-drift-master-review-3.jpg\" mos=\"\" align=\"middle\" fullscreen=\"\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1600\" attribution=\"\" endorsement=\"\" class=\"\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption itemprop=\"caption description\" class=\" inline-layout\"><span class=\"credit\" itemprop=\"copyrightHolder\">(Image credit: Gaming Factory)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>It leaves you with the sense that there\u2019s a brilliant game in here which isn\u2019t releasing in its final form. But since this isn\u2019t an Early Access release, and indeed Gaming Factory ran a demo and collected plenty of feedback from it earlier this year, I can\u2019t ignore the rough bits just because I like the game.<\/p>\n<p>Nor can I ignore the awkwardness JDM evokes when it delves into &#8216;impress the busty anime girl with your drifting skills&#8217; territory. One mission has you giving your friend a lift home and amassing drift points to raise her excitement level, with accompanying facial expressions. All I can say is that those diversions do nothing for me.<\/p>\n<p>However: mechanically and (for the most part) conceptually, I really like the game. I want it to succeed. It\u2019s so inventive with its mission types, switching between Crazy Taxi-esque sushi delivery runs in which you\u2019re scored on damage taken and style points, duels against unfriendly locals, and helping your influencer friend to create content (whatever she\u2019s saying on camera simply shows up as \u2018Blah blah blah\u2019 in the comic panels).<\/p>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure inline-layout\" data-bordeaux-image-check >\n<div class='image-full-width-wrapper'>\n<div class='image-widthsetter' style=\"max-width:2560px;\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\" style=\"padding-top:62.50%;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"irtWzuzrnnjub8Z82L85f3\" name=\"\" alt=\"JDM\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/jdm-japanese-drift-master-review-4.jpg\" mos=\"\" align=\"middle\" fullscreen=\"\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1600\" attribution=\"\" endorsement=\"\" class=\"\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption itemprop=\"caption description\" class=\" inline-layout\"><span class=\"credit\" itemprop=\"copyrightHolder\">(Image credit: Gaming Factory)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>It\u2019s generous with its unlocks and currency rewards. It actually wants you to buy all the cars on its roster and tune them so that they feel like your own. And it really succeeds as a walk-in encyclopedia of Japanese tuner and touge culture, taking every opportunity in NPC interactions, training missions, and loading menu text to add another tidbit about the discipline\u2019s history and evolutions.<\/p>\n<p>And over the course of the next year or so, its rough edges probably will be sanded down. Probably. I can only play and evaluate the game as it appears today though, and that game doesn\u2019t always let JDM\u2019s best qualities shine.<\/p>\n<\/article>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/games\/racing\/jdm-japanese-drift-master-review\/\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You\u2019ll remember, of course, the drift events in classic Need for Speed.
