82/100

Project Neon delivers an exhilarating adrenaline rush for fans of classic futuristic racers like Wipeout and F-Zero. The visual design is striking, with glowing circuits and reflective cityscapes that look crisp on modern high-refresh screens. Coupled with a pulsing synthwave soundtrack, the game creates an incredible sense of velocity.

The touch controls are surprisingly responsive, though using a physical controller is recommended for precise drift angles in higher speed classes. Dedicated arcade racing fans will appreciate the deep tuning options and zero pay-to-win mechanics in competitive modes.

Dinsun Review

Project Neon looks sharp with its glowing visual design and synth soundtrack, but the substance doesn't quite match the style. Dual-stick controls on a glass screen are rarely ideal, and while performance holds up, fighting the same handful of robot enemy types across glowing corridors gets stale fast.
