    There are times when I want to play a racing game that requires a wheel and incredibly nuanced changes to my car's setup. GRID Legends provides a counterpoint to that style, and it's a ball of fun that never feels like it loses focus on being a competitive racing game. It's a racing game that isn't afraid to become a spectacle, while at the same time managing to take itself seriously in the areas that matter. The story mode is the flashiest, but the game remains just as compelling in any other mode. GRID Legends is a great excuse to have some automotive fun.

    ‘GRID Legends’ is a damn fun simcade racing game. While it’s not the most riveting story, ‘Driven to Glory’ is honestly a fun and intriguing story to make you want to keep going for hours and hours. The gameplay and overall game quality are solid, but not perfect, and visually it’s worth the time and energy ripping up the street or the track. EA and Codemasters are working to make this game evergreen with upcoming content and what they describe to be a cool online mode (didn’t report on that due it error issues on my end). This is definitely worth your time and money for sure.

    Grid Legends delights with superb orchestrated, entertaining races, but it leaves a lot of potential untapped in terms of career and team management.

    Much like the previous title released in 2019, GRID Legends will not revolutionize the history of racing games, but it is still very good arcade entertainment. If it does not go far enough in the depth of its career mode and in the possibilities of customizing the liveries, the title is on the other hand very complete on its most raw aspect.

    Grid Legends is a fun driving experience for fans, but it's pretty far from what Grid has always been for long time virtual drivers and has some ideas that needed a better refinement. Despite this, the game is enjoyable and full of contents to explore.

    GRID Legends brings more content into its own funny arcade racing mix, but story mode is too linear to be entertaining, even if it's technically valid.

    GRID: Legends is a good arcade racer, but it doesn't offer enough new stuff from the 2019 GRID game, making it quite a dispensable game. The comeback of drifting is cool, but the story mode is quite lame, and most of the content seems just to have been ported from the 2019 opus.

    GRID Legends is a very fun racing game. While it's far from perfection, it has great gameplay and very good depth.

There are more cars and the gameplay doesn't feel that the game wants to force you to drift in every single turn. It still happens, though, but now even with 'grippier' cars.

    The story mode: it just doesn't make sense at all. You are from an upcoming team and, despite winning every single race, the story goes: "Oh look, he still has to prove himself!" or "Oh, they didn't win a race yet", or later on where there is a team cheating and the story says they're "uncatchable" despite you still... winning every race. It's even worse later on when you're the only driver on the team and, winning, the story goes "look how great the effort he's been making but it isn't enough". wth?

    I'd say the story mode is an "entry point" for most people and it also has a lack of tracks being shown (the game had the same Grid-made tracks 2 times, and some tracks in-game aren't present in the campaign), just making the game feel shallow overall.

    The AI isn't hard at all. Played the game at max difficulty and, again, won every single campaign race.

    The menus are ugly, the teammate system isn't properly shown (along with stuff like the nemesis ones), and I believe there are some upgrades you can make but I didn't do any and they didn't matter in the end.

    It looks good, but it is shallow.

    Boring game with beautiful graphics. Nothing new compared to previous games. Story? What story? :) Great to play when there's nothing else to play.

    Grind Legends

    PROS:
    - performance was great on both PS5 and PC
    - various classes
    - improvement over Grid (2019)

    CONS:
    - still not as good as old Grid games
    - A.I. + it will cheat (something like "catch up" system) on higher tier
    - terrible menus
    - cringe Story mode with all the diversity check list
    - terrible/grindy career with DLC to speed it up
    - driving model while not as drifty as on older games, it's also very feel-less, no feedback whatsoever, very average and stiff
    - some unlucky people won't be able to finish career due to late stage bug

    Bottom Line:
    "Meeehh" - fun for an hour at a time, mentioned cons really get in the way. Replay Grid/Grid 2/Grid Autosport - you'll have more fun
