JDM: Japanese Drift Master

Jó a játék. Autós vagy szimulátor fanoknak tetszeni fog. De vannak apro hiányosságok. 1-2 verseny túl nehéz, jó pár év autós játékkal a hátam mögött azért feladta a leckét. Aki kihívást keres az megtalálja benne. Keveslem az autókat. A tuningon is lehetne mit bővítnei. Ennyi volt a rossz. A nyílt bejárható pálya nagyon szép, már a barangolással jó pár órát el lehet kallódni benne. Van forgalom, amit én azért díjazzok, mert így nem kihalt a játék.

Crazy fun and challenging

amazing game just need to work on the story better but the gameplay is solid

It forces Steam Deck profile on you even if you are not running on a steam deck. Makes it impossible to change graphical settings as they require a restart to apply and it forces steam deck profile on every restart. I'm not trying to run the game on steamdeck by the way, just linux.

tl;dr the game is great, i'd recommend it for its price. Handling is perfect, graphics ok, the map is great. Starting with cons - optimization (it runs well, this part is more about bug). I have such a weird issue. After 30 minutes playing in all locations (because of missions located in different parts of map) I have massive fps drop (to 5 fps) for like 90% playtime. The rest 10% is 60+ fps like before this drop. It doesn't decrease along playing, it just drops and doesn't increase to stable. My guess is that they have inefficient way to store visited locations during the session, because it fixes after relaunch. And I played for 2-3 hours without city center and it ran well, so maybe city is the thing - small traffic. I understand why traffic is small, otherwise it'd be hard to collect drift points, but they could just give us slider for controlling it. The city without cars looks empty and dead - coloring, there is no way to color rims - bots. Sometimes ai behavior is terrible pros: - physics. I really like it. For me its almost perfect vision of arcade car physics. Smooth drift and interesting grip races. Grip is not like in late NFS, it doesnt require drift at all. You have an opportunity to drive it without sliding. Drift is not hard and easily controllable - cars. its ok. Every car has its preferences, that effect on handling, which is great - sound. Good music and car sounds. unlike TXR cars here have different engine sounds (its not perfect, but still good enough)

Right now I'm on a "anything but Forza 6 trip" after its release and it looking quite mid. As others have said this game is a true "hidden gem" Honestly I'm stunned at how well the driving/handling and drifting feel on controller. It's a real kick back and enjoy type game. Very low stakes. Very stress free. I love that this game has a "clutch kick" mechanic; it's one of the few driving games that has accurately replicated the feeling of kicking the clutch to put the car into a slide and it feels great. The game looks amazing simply put. The foliage the amount of detail they have crammed into every section of the map. The first time you see rain and wind in this game is a treat; the entire foliage moves as if it were alive; flags, lanterns and koinobori slap in the wind. You will see so many unique assets even if it's just a pedestrian staircase or a home with pot plants decorated along its roof; there is just so much DETAIL in every small point of interest; I was driving though a town at one stage and hit the gas and it made an unseen dog start barking; it was felt just so genuine and real. It really puts other big open world games to shame. The theming of this game is excellent. The roads and touge are amazing; finally proper skinny mountain pass Japanese style roads with hard gutters; sheer rock faces and rock fall barriers; the mountain passes are some of the best roads in this game. There are also small detailed towns with petrol stations; homes; sushi bars and restaurants. And a large city with it’s own copy of Daikoku PA; going down a small street you will find a pachinko palor and other unique POI’s. There are some small downsides like any game; the FOV and cameras change per car; for example the little 86 has a roof cam where you can see the entire bonnet; it’s a great camera angle and has a dynamic moving camera as the car slides; however this same camera angle on other ‘wider’ cars you lose a-lot of this detail and can’t see the edges of each bonnet. The traffic is also very light; it’s most obvious in the big city as it often looks quite empty. I found on vortex mods there are mods to increase traffic density but I haven’t loaded them yet; I wonder if this will ruin the mountain passes? Honestly when you get on a good mountain pass road your kind of glad there is no pedestrian traffic and you can truly send it down the mountain like it’s an episode of top gear. The story missions are good – but a little janky; AI cars will crash or get stuck or even float in the air at one point; but I consider this a minor gripe as I went though many missions without such issues. A personal peeve is that some of the story missions make you drive a bone stock Nissan 350z; the 350z in stock form is a bit of a fat pig and it dies in 3rd gear; you really have to thrash the hell out of it redlining it in 2nd for 90% of the race to keep up and not lose power. And in this car it’s more important to never lose you drift score in order to cheese some missions; but it’s fine I’m past it now anyway. There is another set of missions where you drive a little old 1980's 3rd gen Civic; it's acually very fun if your usally in a FR car; these missions seem to be a nod to inital D but in a FF; flying around corners doing handbrake front-wheel skids to beat out more powerfull cars feels great; get beaten by a little civic haha! Car upgrades both visual and performance are tied to car level; meaning that if you want to upgrade a car you have to drive it; it’s a good system it means that you become attached to your car getting it from stock; to a minor body kit; minor mods; then widebodys and bigger performance parts after you have put the hours into it. Some of the upgrades you can tell the people who made this game love cars; it’s the first time I have seen “welded diff” and “angle kits” as an upgrade in a video game. You can customize your car quite well but there are some limitations I have found but you will be able to make something that looks ‘close enough’ to what you want to achieve. Highly recommend this game grab it while it’s cheap!!
