    As a long time gamer I can easily say this is a Need For Speed you will be playing just not to say I didn't play. Again another **** arcade.

    177 Hours in the game and WOW this is fun.

    (I wrote this review on reddit and shortend it a lot, original on reddit u/Taiark. pros, mids and cons at the end!) No, I haven't taken anything. Graphically, it's the best among all 28 games in the franchise. The handling isn't perfect, but it adds to the overall feel of the game. The grip may not be realistic, but it makes sense in certain    177 Hours in the game and WOW this is fun.

    No, I haven't taken anything. Graphically, it's the best among all 28 games in the franchise. The handling isn't perfect, but it adds to the overall feel of the game. The grip may not be realistic, but it makes sense in certain situations. Take your favorite car and explore the map for 15 minutes, appreciating the well-thought-out viewpoints. The soundtrack is perfectly matched to the game's vibe. The story is cringy but not terrible, focusing on a group of racers trying to impress known figures. The customization has potential but could be improved. The non-gameplay features are incredible, including a network for news, snapshots and detailed stats! This game received updates to make it better, unlike others in the series. Even in 2023, without mods, it's still a fun and enjoyable experience.

    Pros:
    Vibe
    Grapics (for 2015 they still beat 2022 undbound (imp))
    Soundtrack
    Fun
    Wrap editor
    Cutscene details (like having your own car in them)

    Mids:
    Story, great idea, cringy dialouge, but fine considering how car people (or wtv) talk irl, its okay.
    Custimisation, got a 180 s13? Sure here you go 7 bodykits, got a porsche? We´ll give you one bodykit, a lil wider and thats it.
    Handling, drift is fine, grip is hell. You wanna grip? Get a mixed tune.

    Bad:
    Always online
    350z not in the game. This car wouldve fit so well but its not in the game. I really do miss in in here...

    I dont know if its still worth getting into the game since its almost 8 years old and servers could be shut down any second forever making it unplayable, its worth 20 bucks tho.
    Without the always online a easy 9.5 (if i could give it)

    Have an amazing rest of your day!    … Expand

    The PC version of NfS is the prettiest of them all, but it is the same game with all its flaws, including horrible AI that sucks all satisfaction out of races (even if you stop completely, your rivals will wait for you) and scarce content that leaves you with nothing to do after around 12 hours.

    The series leaves its garage looking even worse than when it went in. Decent handling doesnt save it.
