    Araba yükseltmelerini neden şansa düşen kartlarla yapıyoruz ki? Dünyanın en anlamsız işi. Arkadaşlarımla oynarken eğlenceliydi, onun dışında vasat bir oyun.

    дизайн локации очень красивый кроме пустыни, сюжет игры очень прикольный, 2 бала за почти не проходимые гонки в виде rally и плохой физике респавна машины эти два фактора очень портят игру.

    This game is comical, and it doesn’t want to be but if you’ve played it you’ll know and if you don’t know, I don’t want to bring down this game to you, just know it ain’t good.

    My favorite nfs. Good graphic, amazing atmosphere, not bad story. This is a hidden gem i guess. Cuz alot of players skip this game only because it's metascore, but these reviewes were written at the release, not game is fixed, there are no grind(i didnt noticed it), yes there are p2w, but you can play without any additional payments. I reccomend this game to you

    An overall pretty good game that isn't one of the best NFS but still enjoyable.
    The handling and physics are weird and sometimes do whatever it wants to do. The "brake to drift" gameplay doesnt always work, but with time I eventually managed to deal with it.

    The story is okay (at least better than in NFS Heat), we don't expect an incredible story for a NFS game anyway but this one is good enough to create a good atmosphere when you race.
    The music is a hit or miss, some are nice, some aren't, but overall pretty good.
    The customization of car is good but I get why many players didn't like the performance upgrades with "cards" that you get with random stats. Also the way they make you have different cars for different types of races is not the best. Drag cars are terrible if you drive them in open world and some cars simply cant be bought in some categories. In my opinion, Heat did this feature better.    … Expand

    Физика,
    Ну такое себе. Дрифт в принципе хороший. 8/10. Грип нормальный, но могло быть лучше 6,5/10. Бездорожье это пиздец... От любого столкновения тебя отправляют на чекпоинт.

    Карта.
    Сейчас начинается изнасилование... Это блять полный пиздец. Ёбаный коридор кроме центра карты где аэродром. Мне в принципе не понравилась карта из-за хуёвой жёлто-оранжево-красной палитры цветов. Если ты хочешь поехать куда-то налево ты не поедешь, ибо там невидимая стена. И по этому карта на 70% это коридор. Особенно это пиздец в гонках по бездорожью ибо повсюду мелкие камни по которым ехать нельзя из-за невидимой стены, но они такие маленькие, что ты не понимаешь это мусор на дороге или это граница дороги.
    4/10
    Сюжет.
    Он слишком растянут. Я бы его сократил на 30%. Все этапы сюжета это просто копипаст с разными именами и цифрами. Из кринжа могу выделить негров-дрифтеров-хареров-коммунистов, Офроуд-армейских-фемок, и инстаграм-твич стримерш-гоншиц. На этом кринж всё. Шулер вообще интересный чел. Один из самых интересных вместе с этой бабой которая даёт задания погони ближе к концу игры, ездит на тёмном панамеро. И на это всё. Оценка сюжету 6,5/10 не впечатлил он меня.
    Машинки.
    Внешний тюнинг идентичен нфс 2015 но в хите лучше. И на мой взгляд в хите тюнинг лучше чем в форзе хорайзен 4. На счёт форзы хорайзен 5 ничего сказать не могу, ещё не играл. Система этих карточек хуйня полнейшая.

    Эта гонка будто ориентирована на сюжет. Катсцены повсюду. Геймплей т.е. вождение автоматизировано. Сам сюжет неинтересный.

    Good game: the story, tuning system, car list, graphics is good. But NFS game should have police that can stop the racer...

    The game is played with the left hand, and the right hand on the mouse does nothing. I found this somewhat limiting to my hand-eye coordination enjoyment. The multiplayer was dead primarily and probably an aspect of this game that should have fallen off a few years ago. I attended about 4 or 5 races with users, but it took hours to find the users on the multiplayer. The races are limited to about eight cars. It is also worth noting that my computer is a new PC model, and it had some struggles running this program. I had to have max fans on to prevent overheating in my CPU, which makes my computer sound like a jet engine... lol sort of. This is mainly due to the high graphics in this game, but it could also be lousy programming. I left this game happy that playing it was over.    … Expand

    This is a highly engaging Casino, I’ve won multiple Jackpot items in a row.

    P.S: Cops busting characters and making them into Magical Girls in Bubble Prison is still an issue.

Вот вам для гонки нужен 335 уровень а вы уже 345, но все равно другие гонщики будут вас обгонять им на это просто насрать. По открытому миру ездят обычные машины и их водители настолько тупые что это просто капец, вот к примеру на них несется машина со скоростью 300 км в час а они дальше будут ехать по своей траектории и на свою жизнь просто наплевать. Сюжет херь полная он не интересный и не логичный. Все что в этой игре хорошо это машины они нарисованы просто офигенно красиво. Также в игре недоступен сталинг он открывается только после выполнения каких либо задач например набрать скорость 289 и проехать в течении 3 секунд как по мне это тупо. Еще есть машины реликвии не понимаю зачем они нужны потому что их сначала надо найти а потом они по характеристикам хуже даже самой дешёвой машины с автосалона. А больше игру хвалить не за что.… Expand

    A few years have passed and EA is classically serving us another part of its Need for Speed ​​racing series.

Need for Speed: Payback will give usA few years have passed and EA is classically serving us another part of its Need for Speed ​​racing series. Although the previous episode from 2015 did not receive much positive feedback, I liked the game and therefore I will not lie that I was looking forward to the new episode and I can happily say that this is another Payback episode of the series. Need for Speed: Payback will give us daylight at the beginning, but it won't take long and we will see night darkness right away. I am very happy for this change, because I like it when these factors change. Day and night have their charm. But what pleased me most about the game is the map itself. The locations here are luxurious, because we will see both a city that is beautiful and a desert, and I love the desert. We play nice songs in all this and I have to say that one is completely etched in my memory and captures the atmosphere of the game for me and it's Barns Courtney - Kicks. After all, this song plays at the beginning of the game, where it immediately introduces you to one character and then others. Yes, in Need for Speed: Payback you play for more characters. What I think is great is that we have seen both classic street races in the city and desert Offroad races, and I would even call some heists where we just do something in the story, but I won't break it down or spoiler it. Having already mentioned the spoiler, let's move on to a slightly different one, the one meant for the car. In other words, I'm going to tuning now. It is almost the same as the one in 2015. In my opinion, it is not to the detriment, because the tuning in the previous game came to me so perfect that there is nothing to change on it. As in the previous game, if you don't want to win extra with tuning, you can use community-created ones, which are often beautiful, and in the last part I used it on Skyline in the form of tuning from the movie Fast and Furious 2 or I he had the BMW look from Need for Speed: Most Wanted from 2005 applied, so I've praised the whole game so far, and there's only one thing that has caused quite a stir after the release. We are talking about tuning, although not about the appearance, but purely about the performance of the car. In the game, you do not buy improvements for the game currency in the form of money for races, but for cards that will improve your car. The change is quite strange, because I myself do not know whether to praise or flock. Most people took it as another attempt at gambling, but I personally didn't mind. I'm not saying I welcome this change, and I'd probably like to return tuning in the form of spending money, but on the one hand, I commend the developers for trying to make a change, and honestly, I didn't mind this news at all. To sum it up. Since Need for Speed ​​from 2015, in my opinion, the authors have caught the right wave and the series is in full beauty for me again, although of course the fame it had during the times of Undergrounds or Most Wanted is long gone, so in my opinion Payback is a great sequel. and most importantly, I would almost forget to mention that you finally don't have to be connected to the internet, as was the case in the previous part. So a great game for me, which I can recommend. Maybe it's a pity that we can't have neon lights in the game when it's already that night.… Expand

    In an effort to make players shell out for microtransactions, developers ramped up the difficulty, which led to a surprisingly enjoyable result – it’s the first time we get a relatively difficult NFS in recent years. [Issue#226, p.44]

    NFS: Payback is full of defects, such as the boring story, highly repetitive missions, useless open world design, and annoying microtransactions. However, it is not terrible enough to get a fail score. This game contains exaggerated and cool controls, exhilarating car chasing, and fascinating background music. If you also enjoy the passionate scenes of the Fast & Furious movie series just like I do, I think you will love this game anyway.

    The new game from the Need for Speed series does not respect your time at all. You should pay it back the same and don´t lose any moment with it. Unprepared and unbalanced free to play mechanics with a strong gambling part destroy otherwise quite usable and somewhat entertaining, though not very interesting arcade.
