    From a car enthusiast's perspective, this game has been a blast. It is by far one of the best Need for Speed games ever. It has a better story than NFS payback, but it is shorter.

It is by far one of the best Need for Speed games ever. It has a better story than NFS payback, but it is shorter. The game mechanics are very good by earning money during the day and earning REP during the night. The car customization is nearly overdone, not only can you upgrade parts but you can also do engine swaps, each engine having a different sound. One of the weak points of this game is the overpowered cars, the 911 RSR is still the fastest cornering car by far. I understand that different cars have different cornering ability, but the RSR has an unrealistic cornering ability. Ghost games needs to have a balance between the cars. The cars should have either speed and cornering. No car should be good at everything. Expand

    Меня хватило на 15 минут. Машиной невозможно управлять, техника заноса просто бредовая, когда ты хотел просто сбавить газ, и жмешь опять.
    Ну в 2015 же в правильном направлении шли. Верните киношные вставки в духе MW и Carbon.
    Я думал ничего хуже payback уже не будет.

    Bad Police, bad upgrade System and bad Races
    For example buy car in level 32 and for upgrade you most be level 39.

    While Heat may be a definite improvement over Payback it still feels lacking.

    The story is as bland and uninteresting as it always is when it comes down to an NFS game, but at least this time it feels like it knows its place and doesn't get shoved down your throat as much. The driving feels a bit better and the fact you don't have to keep a garage full of specialized cars allows you

    The story is as bland and uninteresting as it always is when it comes down to an NFS game, but at least this time it feels like it knows its place and doesn't get shoved down your throat as much.

    The driving feels a bit better and the fact you don't have to keep a garage full of specialized cars allows you to focus on a few vehicles which leads to a more personal connection with your rides. The customizable character was also a decent touch.

    The Day/Night gameplay concept is a good idea and makes you consider your choices, whether to focus on rep or cash but this is where the main problem of Heat comes up. The cops are nigh indestructible and they are far too hard to lose. After a certain point they become impossible to shake off, they rubber band straight up to your ass and deal far more damage than you can. Losing all the rep for the night is bad enough considering how monotonous the races can become, but losing cash which you cant deposit anywhere during the day - absolute ****

    Other than that, the world feels a bit too small and lifeless and the soundtrack is straight up trash.

    Heat feels like 5 steps forward and 3 steps back, but it is still an improvement. Not really good, but decent.

    Need for Speed Heat is (imo) one of the best racing games of the 2010's

    First up, The Graphics NFS Heat's Graphics are kinda superior than Payback but it's not as like-like than the 2015 reboot. but still it looks so amazing. at every corner and every distance, it stands out as one good looking details around. but not only the hills, building, etc. the cars look very impressive.
    Need for Speed Heat is (imo) one of the best racing games of the 2010's

    First up, The Graphics
    NFS Heat's Graphics are kinda superior than Payback but it's not as like-like than the 2015 reboot. but still it looks so amazing. at every corner and every distance, it stands out as one good looking details around. but not only the hills, building, etc. the cars look very impressive.

    then, The Story
    So The premise of NFS Heat is that you play as an unnamed racer looking to race in Palm City (A Miami-Inspired City) for the Speedhunters Showdown who meets Lucas Rivera in the garage, After one race, she meets Ana Rivera (Lucas' Young Sister) Where she asks that they need to know who they are by racing at night and avoid the cops, but something from the High Speed Task Force is not what it seems.
    The story is great and the characters are spot on

    Now for the Gameplay
    It has a lot of things to do in Palm City, One of the main attractions is of course the events. From circuit to drift to sprint, there's gonna be alot of racing! Speaking of drift, the car handling is so great. and another of the main attractions is the cop chases, it's so hard yet it's so entertaining that it puts you to the edge of the seat. And of course, we could forget the customization. not only for your car, but also for your avatar can be customized.

    Finally, The Overall Score
    NFS Heat is a Racing Game That EA Makes it Right

    9.5/10

    While it pales in comparison to the likes of something like Forza Horizon, which it is obviously trying to replicate, it still packs plenty of features to make it a worthwhile play, from its solid driving mechanics to its marvelous car customization. Inarguably the best NFS the entire 2010 decade had to offer.

    I really enjoy games that support BLM with diverse characters and fitting hip-hop music. NFS heat may have its flaws but the thrill and hours of enjoyment of racing drifting and rally events will always put NFS on top.

I liked many ways of customsizing cars. Even the modern cars could look classic and the classics could look modern, it is all based on how you do it. You can even change your car's exhaust sound, and the sounds of turbo are really based on what turbo you put in car. Not once i put in worse turbo but i prefered the sound it made.

The lack of content/updates is due to EA not investing enough time in this, and they also shut down Ghost Games.

I want to use the BMW gtr from nfs most wanted but it doesn't unlock untill you complete the game what good is that? anyways I hope criterion don't ruin the franchise again and bring back all the super cars and lame straight roads with no modifications and customization. honestly ghosts nfs games with a little bit more creativity and polish would of been outstanding need for speeds.

    Yes it is better than the games before from this series, but it is still far away from being a visually polished racing game with addictive gameplay. Technically it is a shame for such a new game from such a big studio with its budget. Codemasters Grid is a better choice so much, there are worlds between them.

Character customisation is a good idea, which they failed so bad too. Every character is ugly as f- and outfits are just a sponsor thing. And masks... oh boy.

    Have any good sides? Sure. Physics are fine after you get used to it and night time visuals are pretty impressive (opposite of day time tho). Soundtrack is good and things like engine swap etc. is pretty cool. Sounds could be just a bit better tho.

    Final verdict: This game just trying to be like it's succesful predecessors; mixed with Payback UI and style, and it copied everything so bad that makes this game a failure.

    For me personally i think this game is worth 15 bucks or less, so if you found this game on sale for that amount you should take the gamble, because you will either love it or hate it.

What a horrible game, so much artificial barriers to progression, prolonging the game for absolutely no reason. WHY DO I HAVE TO DRIVE TO EVERY SINGLE RACE. It's not fun just staring at my cars back, and hearing its engine struggle up hill whilst i'm trying to do an event. The game is so grind heavy its ridiculous, The evo 8 from nfs 2015 was 32,500 but in heat its 72,000, and on top of that getting money in this game is way more tedious and time consuming. So much grind grind grind, an arcade racing game shouldn't be some grind fest it should be that i can pick up and play and have fun. The map is dreary, boring and horrible, stupid corners that are impossible to turn without crashing. The traffic AI will literally block both lanes of a road so you crash. The rubber-banding is so obvious that it makes me want to cut my eyes off. The music selection is horrible, i'm not spanish so why do i have to listen to random spanish songs during a race. Worst of it all, is the night racing/grinding. You have to earn rep, to unlock parts and cars, which seems like a good concept, until you notice that the police in this game are the most broken aspect of everything. They literally know what turn you are going to take, they go even faster than you, when they tap, your side you lose about a quarter of health, WHY IS THERE A HEALTH BAR FOR MY CAR??? This is arcade racing game, i didn't ask for realism and car damage and weapons on my car, they still haven't learnt their mistake from nfs rivals. Police would literally spawn right in front of me during a race, and i would lose at the last turn, because of bs stupid AI. It's literally impossible to get away from the police no matter how fast your car is, the only way is to do a jump, or literally drive into water in the hope that the police follow you in. This would be all fine if THE REP GRINDING WAS NOT COMPULSORY TO PROGRESS THROUGH THE GAME. You have to grind the rep once you first start the game, and you have a low end car, so it's so tedious and time consuming. Once you get to heat level 2, thats it, game over for you. What idiot thought that this was a good idea? Grinding? RPG style elements in a arcade racing game? wtf is this. Absolute disgrace to the series, and i've played every single main title that has come out. The handling system is still the same brake to drift bs, they havent changed anything, moving the drift button from L2 to R2 doesn't mean you have changed the handling model. Stupid forced off road section that literally no gives a f about, cringe story line and voice acting. I see no improvement upon the customisation of cars, apart from sticking rice effects like under-glow and air suspension. The wrap editor is the exact same. The car choice in the game is horrible as well. SO many supercars and hypercars, and this would be no problem, but they cause inflation within the game market because they are so goddamn overpriced, so all other cars are more expensive as well, as i mentioned above with the evo 8. Adding 4 different versions of the same car doesen't mean its good content you've just re-used the same goddamn model. 45 different types of BMW, and 23 types of mercedes is not good car choice. The engine swap idea was good, but it also falls flat on its face, because it ruins the whole aspect of going from 0 to hero, with your starter car if you wanted to. I picked the 180sx as a starter car, then i realised i cant make this into an ultimate racing car because the engine only goes up to 600 hp. Why is there forced barriers to enjoyment and progression?? Its too complicated for a racing game, and way too grind heavy, if you enjoy listening to your starter car, struggling going up hill whilst you are on your way to a race, and then a random police car spawns and you cannot lose them no matter how fast you go and how perfect you take corners, you lose all of the rep you made that night, so you lose all progression and there is nothing you can do. And their concept of story is to just stick the BMW M3 GTR all the way from a game from 2005, into every single game, trying to pull on nostalgia strings, yet it makes no sense for the car to be there. The characters are all boring and i don't care about a single one of them. The game feels lethargic, boring, pathetic to play and there is no enjoyment to have whatsoever. i received the game as a gift, so please don't waste your money on it. THERE IS A REASON WHY GHOST GAMES WERE DISBANDED/ TAKEN OUT FROM PRODUCING NFS after this game because they well and truly messed up every ounce of reputation they had. How does a company produce worse games in sequels? 2015 was great with a few minor problems, payback was worse and this is downright unplayable garbage. would not recommend at all. Expand

The Cops are the real incarnation of the devil and they will never let go (unless you manage to get a car with a rating of 350+). I want the developers to upload a Video where one of them is winning a pursuit with a car rating around 150 on heat 2 or above. Maybe they'll understand then what's wrong. It's just not fun to lose all of your hard earned money and 1 hour or even more of progress. Also: Who TF choosed the music!? We want TO THE WINDOOOOOOOOW TO THE WALLL!!! Or maybe some WOHO BLACKBETTY. Come on please!! Get lost with this stupid non creative latino beats nobody asked for. When I need mainstream I type it in spotify or simply turn on my radio. Tuning is sweet. Please do better next time or the franchise will die I'm sure... Expand

    There's no controller remapping support and the controls for manual gearbox are horrible (LB = shiftDown, RB = shiftUp). If you want shifting with analog stick or face buttons, you need third-party remapping software.

    This game has weird manual controllers and doesn't let you remap. I understand they were going for a paddle-shifter experience but using the same finger for gas and shift up is just crazy and messes with the existing muscle memory of IRL stick-shift drivers (and paddle-shift) who are already used to alternating different body parts between gas and shifting! And holding the controller with index finger on shiftUp and middle finger on gas is awkward.

    Previous games in the series let you remap and NFS 2015 was one of my favourite racing games. I have remapping software but when I looked at my remapping game list and only saw games 10-15 years old, I realized how ridiculous this was to have a one-year-old game in there. So if you have too many games, too little time and don't want to setup remapping software to change to decent manual controls, I'd wait till the next NFS and hope they add controller remapping back in. This game has been out for a year and still no patch to add controller remapping...

    The things that I did not like were the physics of the skid, without a doubt, somehow it breaks with that Heat theme, that of cars of thousands of dollars or the more classic cars of the jdm, but, do not they make long and fast? That disappointed me a bit, but in short I liked it a lot. Nice job.

    The game is bad, bad optimization, textures, stupid system with the police, if you just want to drive around the city even on the minimum level of difficulty, 4-6 policemen will follow you - against whom there is no chance and your experience is removed from the race.

    The only things that is good in this games are the cars and their customizations. It has a broad variety of cars (classic muscles, european coupes, japanese tuners, hybrid hypercars, etc) and the customization (maybe not as limitless as Carbons' Autosculpt) lets you design and play with your dream car for hours end.

    The gameplay was fine, except for the police chases and the stupid day and night system.

    Oh well, about the story: It's shallow, embarassing and poorly written. It's not even a "trying to take itself seriously cheesy storyline (Most Wanted 2005 and Carbon). The game's lore could've been salvaged if challenging the "League" (which was built up for nothing basically) would be set in a Pro Street like environment and ending the game right at the end of the contest.

    In the end, Need For Speed Heat did not know, what it's want to be.

    The writing is really bad and the character motivations are really questionable.

    The added DLC is just a big fat money ga´rab from EA. The free car is literally just a reskinned car which was very expensive. The DLC car you can buy is one of the best cars in the game and it **** costs 5 bucks.

    The atmosphere is completely ruined by all these super and hypercars driving around. It doesn't feel like street racing, it feels like a really bad forza horizon

    The day and night system sounds interesting but since you can ONLY get rep (the experience points from this game) in these night events. This may sound like an interesting idea but sadly, it just evolves into a gigantic grindfest that could go on for 2 hrs.

    This game is VERY buggy and has by far the worst car physics I've ever seen in a racing game.

    The police has a questionable design at day. At night, they are mostly very annoying and unbalanced.

    The best part of this game are easily the night events and the car selection. The night events are really fun but can be very frustrating sometimes.

    This is by far the worst NFS I've ever played in a while.

    Best Need For Speed since Carbon (2006)

    I am glad the franchise is going back to the origins, but it still lacks a few aspects like a decent soundtrack, less emphasis on this pointless story and more in racing. Also something worth to mention is that there are no more extremely greedy microtransactions like the last games, just play as it is and be happy.

    Since I launched the game for the first time I kept noticing a lot of great changes from the past, I could see how finally the game made it seem like people from the studio started using brain while making NFS.

    There's been so many quality of life changes and everything in the game works just right. It's best Need For Speed game I played no question. They finally didn't feature a desert in the open world which is in my opinion the worst part (the desert) of any NFS game. Instead they went for Miami beaches and woods or swamps, well swamps aren't exactly lovely to drive through but they are part of the Miami identity which is transferred to the game perfectly.

    Speaking of quality of life changes, starting with the menus:
    - you launch the game and you can see your car on the screen in menus, with great soundtrack in the background,
    - Game loads pretty quick,
    - When transitioning from open world to garage you can again see your car from multiple perspectives and again amazing songs
    - You get perfect amount of customization for your cars,
    - Progression system for better parts is very very cool,
    - Instead of being allowed to rush through campaign races, you need to often take your time and earn better car parts in order to get a chance of successfully completing story missions,
    - Previous NFS games were annoying you when everytime you ran past cops you would get chased, here when you behave and drive slowly cops won't start the chase with you unless you have already played some forbidden night events. Durring the day even when you drive like a maniac you won't get chased by the cops which is very good. It may sound like it doesn't have a logic but this was hurting my playthrough of NFS Rivals very badly when I couldn't move for an inch without being chased by cops sometimes unable to start a mission or race for tens of minutes.
    - Night is for the cop chases, day is for free roam, free racing (absolutely love this change)
    - Separate rewards for night runs and day runs,
    - Story is about Mexicans who live in Miami and drive for living (I loved this setting and characters for story), story is definitely better than any previous NFS although it's also a little bit of course cliche because it's just a driving game but it was very good story for just a driving game.
    - City is beautifully made, looks beautiful, it's big enough,
    - Open World is big enough with enough memorable places where you want to return and race there again, (Definitely didn't happen in Payback where everything was unsympathetic)
    - There's finally in thousand years enough amounts of cars everywhere, while city can seem dead at times at least the highways are very populated you feel like you drive in living world except some parts of a city where it seems dead at times.
    - I played for 40+ hours and had almost zero problems with disconnecting, being kicked etc.. everything we know from all other EA games, there's always server issues, kicking you, lossing progress for EA's fault, here I had very good time playing with players in my game racing and doing their own stuff.
    - This gets me to option fans were asking for a long time, you can choose to play solo or online (definitely online brings much more fun to the game so I only played online)
    - In online, you can start every race with other players, everyone will get an invitation and they can decide If they want to join or not. It was a lot of fun.
    - Tree graphics look very improved and solid for still a current gen game, the whole game is gorgerous and amazing to look at just like the city,
    - Sound of engine is absolutely stunning, when you finish an online event and 400+ performance players start to show off to other players around the sound of their fully upgraded engines is absolutely amazing, it's beautiful to listen to.
    - You don't have to win events to still get rewarded, there are no gold, silver, bronze medals for events so if you are last you still get paid, it's just not as much as it showed you on screen you would get, it's not an amount to be satisfied with but it's still something instead of just being forced to replay the event over and over just to get rewarded. If you struggle, you move on to something else and don't feel like you wasted your time.
    - Night races make great atmosphere, your survivability is limited to three repairs at gas stations for a single night, it's really scary and I had the adrenaline like It was real life when I was afraid to loss stuff I earned at night when I got to maximum Heat Level 5 being chased by so many cops, being able to loss rewards when you get caught by cops makes the atmosphere much much better.

    A lot had improved for better. This is an extreme list of positive changes. I disliked nothing about this game, I only felt a little bored while collecting collectibles and progression for cosmetics like smoke colour could be slower and more deserving. This is the best NFS game ever in my opinion.

    Police cars are overpowered but that is to be expected. What is not expected are the demanded millions of points in order to progress further in game. If a player really wants to achieve the completion of the game then that player would need to farm points with numerous exploits published by YTbers (unfortunately the best and most efficient way to get points) longer than actually playing the game.

    The story is absolute trash filled with dialogues that are on the same level of pornographic videos. Feels like a denied concept of Fast and Furious.

    The transition between day and night is truly lazy, lacking renowned sow marks in the motor field.

    Fun to play game with great graphics and car details. Lack of good multiplayer hurts the experience as well as a bad soundtrack.

    The least fun racing game i've ever played. Couldn't force myself to play more than 5 hours. The physics are awful, even worst than the crew. The graphics are not bad, but the game is empty in visuals, and every object is destroyable, even worst, the game is made for you to crash. Customization is outdated, but still very good. The story is **** even worst than 2015. The cops mechanics areThe least fun racing game i've ever played. Couldn't force myself to play more than 5 hours.

Cops should play smart, exactly as in gta v, where they try to guess where you are comming from before you get to them, they make barricades, shoot your tires, etc. This game is simply unenjoyable Expand

Честно, впервые за всю серию уши просто обливаются кровью от подобранной музыки, а логика валит к черту на куличики когда летя 350 по встречке и устраивая массовое дтп, на тебя полиция закрывает глаза, а вот если крутишь петли в порту, никого не трогая, то становишься самым опасным гадом в городе. Радует что впервые за серию полиция действительно что то может, но только из-за того что автомобиль теперь имеет запас прочности. Автомобилей достаточно, список большой, но когда видишь в магазине 3 версии никому ненужной Lamborghini huracan, понимаешь что количество автомобилей искусственно накручено. Логика автомобилей тоже поломана напрочь! Где это видано чтобы VW beetle бегал по бездорожью лучше заряженного по полной RR Sport SVR? За все время игры сложилось впечатление что игру клепали люди, далекие от автомобилей и автоспорта в целом и только ради того чтобы сделать «побольше, поярче, более размыто на скоростях». Большая и абсолютно не запоминающаяся карта, которая, в отличии от NFS payback, ничем не привлекает и не запоминается. Зато на эту карту понатыкали «активностей» в духе «собери всех покемонов!» - щиты, прыжки, граффити, покемо...фламинго! 100 фламинго и 130 граффити, которые еще нужно отыскать или же купить за 350+ рублей доступ к карте с отметками, но пока соберёшь их всех - поседеешь. Честно, в таком виде коллекционные предметы в гоночной игре - извращение. В итоге nfs heat по уровню самоистязания за время прохождения превзошёл всю серию dark souls! Но не сложностью гонок и полиции, а бесконечным гриндом денег, репутации и коллекционных предметов и все под отвратительную музыку, которая мало того что отвратительна сама по себе, но и повторяется так часто, словно в игре всего 5 треков. С каким удовольствием можно было кататься в nfs 2015 года и какой же разнообразный, хотя и очень спорный, был nfs payback, но nfs heat переплюнул все игры Nfs - отвратительный наследник великой серии. Самое обидное что играешь и думаешь «ну могли вот тут допилить, ну чуть-чуть не дотянули, ну есть крутые идеи, есть у игры потенциал, но просто всё бросили как есть.»
    А ведь совсем немного не хватает Heat чтобы из гадкого утёнка стать красивым лебедем, но пока что 10 фламинго из 100 и кровоточащие уши. Честно, саундтрек просто отбивает желание вообще играть в эту игру.

    Игра прикольная, много машин, тюнинга, прикольно играть с друзьями. Хотя как по мне Forza horizon булет лучше

    The story has appeal, however despite trying my best I struggle with controlling the car.
    I play GT Sports, Dirt ect.. but for some reason can't keep this car on the track.
    Using a Logitech Wheel Set.
    Perhaps this game is targeting drifters..???

    While fun, ultimately while i stopped playing is that it gives me headaches., yet can spend hours playing GT Sports and other titles.

    Pros:
    - amazing graphics
    - better controls than NFS2015 and Payback Cons: - the music suck ass - literally unplayable cop chases - day and night system - mediocre, and recycled game mechanics - ridiculous story - lack of balance in the races, the chases - - loading times are worse than on the Sega CD, trust me - rendering the 3D models sometimes looks awful (especially when you going

    On PS4 fat graphic is so bad NFS 2015 looks better, soundtrack sucks, every song is **** gameplay is not so bad. I so disappointed, because in NFS games music was in 1-st place for me, I really like it in NFS payback, but in this part it’s really sucks

If You make a mistake you lose the race and if the cops are around (they will) you cant restart the race so you have to escape. or you do a perfect race or you eat a 10 minute escape chase so you can go again and restart the race (if youDONT BUY THIS GAME.

    What I have played in the 2hs of casual game play is a lot of payback coming back to haunt me. Point one: the trailers and reviews make the game sound it’s better than payback and rivals when it take elements from both the rain seems to be from rivals and the handling and customise menus and even the traffic are the same as payback
    Point two: The rng in payback I thought way awful but no

    Point two: The rng in payback I thought way awful but no they managed to make the rng even worst in heat meaning cop chases go on for way two long and they get infinite nitros to keep up making the game feel unfair and there’s no skill in losing them because it’s just by chance. Last Point: i don’t get why they made manual transmission so awkward to use in the game it makes drifting awkward and not fun which is weird because in payback I enjoyed the drifting and found that you can get really good at it the controls in heat are set up they have decided is so clunky still don’t understand why we can’t set our own preset for controllers like in payback. Not worth spending £56 on it

    This is a fun game, the story isn't incredible but is fine, the customization is one of the best aspects of the game.
    One of the biggest cons is the AI, the're so STUPID, you can't lose a race also in the highest difficulty.

    Need for Speed: Heat is the first good step for the franchise in years. Devoid of micro transactions, providing some Underground-like neon vibes with it’s best customization system, it can provide more than a dozen of hours of fun, despite it’s dead like world design and irrelevant and boring story.

    The Heat meter effectively turns GTA’s wanted level into score attack, which is awesome. But the open-world busywork, generic city, and too-flimsy obstacles dilute the otherwise decent gameplay. [Issue#170, p.88]

    Again, I don’t think Need for Speed Heat does much to re-invent the wheel when it comes to open-world racing games, but it does help reset the franchise in a way that felt necessary at this point. It’s an enjoyable experience throughout, the story is entertaining if maybe a little too serious, and the overall progression path is well realized. If you’re hungry to get behind the wheel of a virtual car this season, Need for Speed Heat is likely going to be the game for you.
