Asphalt 5 encapsulates an era of mobile gaming that was unaffected by in-app-purchases, predatory marketing techniques, and advertisements. Every aspect of this game is full. There's a simple leveling system and a single currency, while having a 17 maps and 30 or so vehicles to choose from. Upgrading is linear and uncomplicated, where there is no mindless "grind" or completion of daily levels. There's "girls", that give differing bonuses, a multitude of different ways you can upgrade your cars, and a huge list of modes that make the game nearly impossible to become boring before 100% completion. The graphics are to be expected for a 15 year old game. They're blurry, but vibrant enough to keep the game exciting. It runs as smooth as butter on all modern devices (tested on OnePlus 8 Pro and Pixel 6) and it requires very little space. Local multiplayer still works and does not lag. There is some jitteryness when you eliminate police vans, but that's about it.
