Spinout Drifter

"Spinout Drifter" is a low key asset flip, a bunch of other people's assets assembled badly to make a basic game, typically this kind of thing is done by amateur developers without sufficient budget, talent and/or staff to do the job of game development professionally. It's then quickly rushed into Steam Direct. And, unsurprisingly, this never results in a product with any quality, interest, or value for gamers. This racing game looks a lot like a direct asset flip of popularly flipped Unity Asset Store assets like "Mini Car Money Chase"... and, asset flip or not, the gameplay quality here is the same... an awful, shallow, tech demo tier experience with no value for gamers. So, the game might look better than you'd expect from an amateur project, but this is because it's partially or completely made up of stock assets, "borrowed" from asset stores and free asset websites. Very little in this game is truly the creation of the "developer", it's just a bunch of rearranged assets. While there's no up front price for this asset flip, the other problem with asset flips is that when developers aren't capable of doing their job and creating high quality assets, it's also true they can't do any of the rest of the job of a game developer either. That's definitely true for "Spinout Drifter". The game is really simple and unambitious in terms of implementation, more of a tech demo or one of those cases where an amateur developer spends $100 to publish something on Steam Direct to see if it's possible. Yes, obviously it's possible. A proof of concept, tech demo, or something that's less than a little blip on the radar isn't offering anything truly valuable to gamers. Now on to pricing and value for gamers. This is "free" enough (not every "free" game in the "free" section is truly free, there's usually some hidden price tag), at least you won't be expected to spend any more money after you download this, but just because something is free doesn't mean it's good, and the cost of a game is more than just financial, your time is valuable too. In terms of public reception, this failed. There's over 130 million unique gamers visiting Steam every month. SteamDB showed the game peaked at [b]only 2 concurrent players[/b]... this is a dismal public reception. This was so bad they couldn't even give it away. Bearing in mind that free games don't add +1 to your game collector count, should you bother adding this to your library and downloading it? What's the verdict? This is a "nope". While it won't necessarily cost you money, the time and hard drive space it requires could be better invested in one of the many higher-quality alternatives on Steam.

Игра Spinout Drifter - это простой, но захватывающий тайм-киллер. Управление одной кнопкой кажется обманчиво простым, но чтобы освоить искусство дрифта и собирания бонусов, потребуется немало практики. Визуальный стиль, хотя и минималистичен, создает приятную и расслабляющую атмосферу, а динамичная музыка отлично подстраивается под игровой процесс. Собирание валюты для разблокировки новых автомобилей добавляет мотивации, и каждый автомобиль ощущается немного по-своему, что позволяет найти свой идеальный стиль вождения. Главный минус - игра может быстро наскучить, если не ставить перед собой конкретных целей, например, побить свой рекорд или открыть все машины. Но для коротких сессий, чтобы скоротать время, Spinout Drifter подходит идеально. Рекомендую всем, кто ищет незатейливую и увлекательную аркаду на свой телефон.
