It’s interesting for casual players, for people who want to play a very easy-going racing game on their keyboard (the easy controls allow for a simple keyboard scheme), but if you’re looking for an alternative to Forza or Burnout, keep waiting.įinally, there’s the issue regarding lootboxes and microtransactions. While the developers have added controller support and the ability to manually steer the car in order to drift in a more organic way, you can accelerate on your own. If you have ever played a racing game on a phone you already know the cars accelerate on their own, and all you have to do is steer with the accelerometer and maybe drift every now and then. The controls are extremely simple and the thing every single gosh darn mobile game is filled with is present here. Despite the fact I’m playing a PC version, this is still a mobile game at heart. I don’t know if the songs are licensed tracks from other artists or actual original tunes made for this game, but they are pretty decent overall.Īrtistic-wise, Asphalt 9 is a treat, but there is a big caveat. My mid-tier laptop got the job done without ever needing to scream through the cooling fan.

You also don’t need to have a powerful PC in order to run this bad boy on maximum specs. The cars are very detailed, the lighting effects are top notch, and the framerate is excellent.

Even though this game originated on cellphones, I was actually impressed by its graphics. Right from the getgo, the thing that impressed me the most was Asphalt 9‘s visuals.

I can’t imagine these visuals lasting for long on a mobile screen.
