VGChartz's Daniel Carreras: "Coming away from the demo and talk, I couldn’t help but nostalgically think back to that bygone age of fun console kart racers. Bears Can’t Drift!? fantastically encapsulates that era, and I for one hope it sparks a resurgence in fun, wacky racers. The continued success of Mario Kart proves there’s still an audience for these experiences so hopefully Bears Can’t Drift!?, which is looking to be a fantastic addition to the sub-genre, will find a good measure of success."
Neil writes: "Starting to struggle with finding a new game to play? Just need to get a fix of an all-new experience? Don't worry, the latest Xbox Deals With Gold and Spotlight Sale is here and between the 12th-18th May 2020 there are a whole host of newly discounted titles available for Xbox gamers to get hold of, with a huge focus on the very best racers out there - games like Project CARS for instance."
Richard writes: "There's clearly a lot of passion and work put into this, and it’s charming and upbeat, with retro influences clear on its sleeves. However, it simply needs so much more polish that I cannot currently recommend a purchase to anyone."
WTMG's Leo Faria: "Bears Can’t Drift!? doesn’t have many things in its favor, but it’s not the worst racing game I’ve played this generation. At the very least, it does feature good controls. I don’t exactly see why you would decide to buy it for your Xbox One besides looking for a kid-friendly kart racer not named Race With Ryan. Those bears sure know how to drift, but they’re not really good at anything else besides that."
