Nitro District

Nitro District nails the one thing a mobile racer must get right: the feeling of momentum. Cars have weight, the drift model rewards commitment, and the tilt controls are tight enough that you stop noticing them after a few laps. We switched between tilt and on-screen steering and honestly both hold up.

The career mode is generous with tracks, dropping you into rain-slicked night circuits and desert straights with a decent variety of layouts. Upgrading your car matters without turning into a grind wall, and rivals actually put up a fight in the later tiers.

It's not a sim and doesn't want to be. This is arcade racing that respects your reflexes, and it looks great doing it.

What we liked

• Genuinely fast, weighty handling
• Good mix of track types
• Tilt and touch both feel right
