  Liftoff: FPV Drone Racing is a game where you will have hours of content if you can overcome the difficult controls. Even when playing with the assists, the game is pretty hard, yet with some learning and dedication, you will be rewarded with an open playing field filled with content and progression. The sounds and graphics are mediocre, yet provide you with that classic indie game look and feel. This is one of those indie games that charms its users with its contents, its realistic controls, rather than its outward appearance.

  You can have the most advanced drone piloting physics in the world, but if the tutorial is dull, the career structure nondescript and the racing lacklustre, I’m afraid the combined package does not enthral. A pity.

  Liftoff: Drone Racing on Xbox is a Gordian knot of a game. Mastering even the simplest manoeuvres takes time, and that’s before you’ve mastered the improbably difficult racing. Master the racing, and you’re left with a slow, precise racer in an ugly environment. For the casual, it’s simply not worth it, and we can only suggest that you steer to DIRT 5 or Hotshot Racing instead.

  I can appreciate Liftoff: Drone Racing for what it is and what it’s attempting here. I hope it gets patched soon so fans can get a more enjoyable experience and I hope they enjoy it because on the surface, it’s about as good as a game of this ilk could wish to be, and that’s fine by me. I just don’t have the inclination to jump back in. Especially right now. But thanks, Joshua. I’m grateful he didn’t give up on me.

  The real pity here is that Liftoff: Drone Racing actually manages to nail that the handling and feeling of control which should arguably feature at the core of any such title which aims to bring a drone racing simulation to console. It's just a shame that a real lack of inspiring content and a distinctly dated visual presentation do much to tarnish the overall package.
