Steam reviews

What players say

Most players recommend this chill downhill skater for its drifting feel, soundtrack and relaxed pace, though many report bugs and poor optimisation.

Most reviewers recommend Driftwood, and many praise how relaxing it is to carve down hills with a sloth on a longboard. Players enjoy the drift controls once they have learned them, the variety of boards and wheels that change how each run feels, the challenges that encourage different lines, and the cosmetics to unlock. The chill soundtrack is another frequent highlight, though some find it repetitive after a few hours and feel the game is short for its price. Many reviewers report glitches: getting stuck on track edges, respawn points throwing them off the board, clipping through the ground, and low frame rates, especially on weaker machines and the Steam Deck. A few reviewers, mostly recent ones, criticise the 1.0 release, where progress was reset and they had to replay levels, which dampened their motivation.

    Once the board handling is learned, players find the drifting smooth, tight and rewarding, with a clear sense of speed.

    Many players

    Many players

    Some players
Who it suits
Players who enjoy relaxed, flowing downhill skating and drifting, and who like chill music and quirky characters.
Who should skip it
Players who want polished, bug-free performance or a long game with lots of new content, or who are unwilling to replay levels.

Short vs. long playtime: Players with under 20 hours mostly mention the learning curve of drifting, while players with 20 hours or more focus more on repetitive music.
