Play Drive Out Online

Drive Out is one of those arcade racers that just feels right the second you hit the gas. The cars have that perfect weight to them—not too floaty, not too stiff—and the tracks are just twisty enough to keep you white-knuckling the turns. First race in, I wiped out on a hairpin because I got cocky with the speed, and honestly? Loved every second of it.

It’s got that classic arcade vibe where you’re basically drifting half the time whether you mean to or not, and the neon-lit tracks make even last-place finishes look cool. I usually skip the "career" modes in these games, but the way they drip-feed you faster cars actually had me grinding races just to see what handled better. Spoiler: the black one with the red stripes is stupidly fun to drive.

If you’ve ever wanted to pretend you’re in an ’80s racing montage without the hassle of realistic physics, this’ll do the trick. Just try not to rear-end the AI when they brake check you on straightaways—it’s a trap.
