    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Been playing NFS since 2000 and i have never been more disappointed than before I played NFS Payback.

    The mechanics (especially in offroad mode) were just terrible. The cop chases were just annoying as you raced around town going from checkpoint to checkpoint getting RAMMED by cop cars that seemingly had upwards of 3000 horsepower. And that's not even the worse part about the game. Because let's face it, the story and dialogue are.

    This game has made me question what the people at EA games are doing. Like seriously, what are you guys doing? Do you guys even test the products you release? Are bad ideas just pooled together during board meetings?

    Get your **** together, people.    … Expand

    Seriously, don't waste your money on this, the singleplayer is okay (very short) and the multiplayer, oh boy, might actually be the worst game I've ever played, the online playlists require NO skill at all, it's basically who ever gets f*cked with the least.

They have the Foxbody. Now that we moved to the positives lets talk about everything wrong with the game. Car physics is easier to manuever and is no longer as realistic responsive as nfs 2015. Now anyone can drift without holding a drift by steering left and right to hold and balance a drift. Payback went a step back by making the game use the same car physics as Rivals. Anyone can master drift in this game without learning making this game too easy to master. The story is awful. Racing games DO NOT need a story. The story to this is cheap and lazy. It has nothing to do with racing. The racing is just in the background and isnt even the main focus of the game. Nfs 2015 big focus was racing and racing only. Silly live action cut scenes but at least I felt like a street racer and drifting those hairpins is satisfying because you have to master drifting. The characters in the game are nobodys and uninteresting. The games plot and characters are boring making it useless to have a story. Most racing games have bad music (Ridge racer is beast for racing music). But at least I was able to use my flashdrive with my music playing. the game has a level card slot machine system. Uninspiring AND A SLAP ON THE FACE FOR PROFESSIONAL REVIEWERS TO GIVE THIS GAME A HIGH SCORE. You can buy garages but i feel that pointless too since it doesnt matter how many you own. Map is big with mostly desert so the racing is pretty boring. This is what happens when EA listens to people who pretend to like racing games. This game feels like it was made for someone who claims they like racing but have never played a racing game. The game is a easy grind. You can make a million quick. Even before the story ends. That is how easy the game is. Online multiplayer, its a mess. We have posers using exotic cheating cars in races 98% of the time. The game online isnt balanced. Thats what EA gets for trying to have players race with a tuner and a exotic car that is OP. No one took this game serious at release. If anything this may be the worst nfs game to date. If you played need for speed the run then you played payback. Its essentially the same crap you get. There is no way Need for speed 2015 is worse than this. I still play it and the online community seemed to have moved back. Most people do not understand the concept of racing games. Grid had a good concept, Gran Turismo, Driveclub (the best ps4 racing game out there next to wipeout and burnout paradise remastered) i hope EA makes a new Shift game insted. That side of the franchise was amazing and everyone ignored it because it wasnt a underground street racing game. I called it quits with EA after this and ended up selling this game. Not worth to have as a collection neither.… Expand

    Enjoyed the cars and racing, but the game falls short of everything else. Pro's: • Car selection (though locked out of 1/4 of them as they're paid DLC).
    • Racing can be enjoyable when alone. • Nice to see different terrain now; road and off-road.

    Cons:
    • A feeble attempt at story telling that makes no sense at all. It's be better if it wasn't even in, it's unfinished.
    • Cheating AI because they're too dimly coded; half crash into the environment and get stuff. The other time you'll be encouraging them to crash. • Loot boxes and DLC built in. The whole game was built on this mechanic. • Frustrating bugs. The worst offender was the skybox/lighting flashing through the terrain blinding me every few seconds. If you don't like flashes it has them for every checkpoint and race ending too; awful. • The main menu music starts off good and just when you think there might be a drop it starts playing it's own funeral with an organ... A personal opinion, but it's bad.
    • Most of the song are trash. There's fake gamer girl music that I skip every time it plays as it's ridiculously annoying. There's also a song about killing white men, like wtf? I don't want to get political, but the game advertises BLM on the splash screen which I'm all for, but diversity and equality goes both ways or none at all.
    • Repetition to gain part cards and money. A real grind. • The car they tease you with isn't even part of an end mission or given to you. It's unlocked at the shop, which just makes the game feel rushed and unfinished. The female driver of the trio of characters doesn't even star in the end mission?    … Expand

    Just like Need for Speed Heat I hate the driving in this game. The steering is slow instead of being quick and responsive.. The breaks are way overpowered.. I only played for about five minutes and deleted it. Complete trash in my opinion... I also heard it has microtransactions... I never got far enough to find out. But that is bs... Just remaster Most Wanted from PS2...

The story, an intentionally campy revenge plot that is clearly inspired by various movies such as the Fast and the Furious and Gone in 60 Seconds is enjoyable both in its levels of camp, and diversity of mission. The racing leagues that you go against during your climb through the story also bring about their own level of depth to the game while also making many nods to the Need For Speed games of the past.Multiplayer needs balancing and it would be nice to see the addition of tiers, or level limits, in order to balance the lobbies. There were connection issues during the games early release trial that Ghost is working to correct at this time which should improve the desirability of the online matches.

If you make a game like a teen-movie and players don't like your movie, they're not going to enjoy your game no matter how it plays. Make games for mature adults and you will capture the youth market.

    2. Don't substitute unnecessary cut scenes for actions that players could perform themselves.

    NFS Payback is a perfect example of how not to make a game – racing or otherwise. As far as racing goes, another flaw in this entry is the obtrusive arches and directional arrows which completely break the immersion in an otherwise beautifully rendered open world.

    This is a bad game.
    Why this is a bad game is even worse. The graphics are better, lots of beautiful scenery, a map better than NFS2015 but not as good as RIVALS (lack of the icy bits). Driving feels much better, checkpoints are an arc now (looks cool) and the cars are good looking. The free roam lacks the cops (it´s worst than it seems), and the mini games aren´t too bad.

    But as soon as you start racing, all **** get loose.
    First of, this is a game that adjust difficulty by making your driving worst, not the AI better. A drifty car will soon be a gripping paragon if its making a drift event. You´ll feel cheated everytime.
    AI cars going 350km/h after crashing? Check. Lighter cars kicking your Barracuda out to the curb just because you happen to be in the road? Check. AI cars that speed while you are boosting nitro? Check.
    The mechanic is simple. The "House" always wins. They´ll say it´s a feature, kinda of a easter egg since the game revolves around a fictional Las Vegas and the "House" crime syndicate. But the cold hard truth is: AI cheats a lot.
    If your car is under the specifications, Bu-bye. You need cards. I´m not giving attention to cards, because everyone else already told the truth about cards. It´s deez loot-boxes.
    Just bear in mind that to win cards you need to win races. But the races have a dynamic difficulty. That means that if you´re winning, it cheats more and more. And if you´re losing, it gives you a freebie. In reality grinding for cards is three times longer (two to lose, one to win).
    Unlike the previous installments, racing events are not difficulty based anymore. It means that everyroad after its completion becomes a hard "challenging" race where the other races are always one tier above you. TBH there is so much cheating that you´ll break your personal records while getting 3rds and 4ths places.
    The story is way worst than NFS2015. It´s Fast and Furious lazy cousin. The missions are kinda cringy (like racing a truck that is going almost 300km/h). The characters are just as sufferable (it haves mexican races in the barrio, empowered women mad-max in off-road races and cyber-neon-hacker drifters fighting the capitalism in brand new supercars).
    It just don´t have as many races as the previous NFS.
    The police is dumb as it can. Basically it spawns like rabid bees out of a smashed beehive, it´s useless trying to lose them, they´s just pop out to annoy you until you reach 200m of you objective. Than cops go home like the wolf and the dog in that old cartoon.
    After all this is a game that could be better. But all is rigged to make grinding more exaustive, and paid loot boxes more atractive.
    The game is really heavy scripted, almost to the point its a QTE. Because let´s face it: the game makes supercars speed like zephyrs just to look you´re always late. But if you don´t break your controller it will decrease its speed and let you pass in the last minute. EVERY. DAMN. RACE.
    If you got the best first lap of your life? DOESN´T MATTER.
    After all you have a major setback from the previous games. And you can see it is just to sell loot boxes. This is not a fun game at all.    … Expand

    I bought NFS Payback recently on a sale on the Playstation store. I have always been skeptical of EA for their shady practices and sub-par games and it turns out I was not quite wrong.

It's evident that they wanted to go the loot box route. The storyline is weak while the characters are someone you cannot like. And finally, there is apparently an issue with saving the game. I sincerely hope EA goes the way of TellTale Games and we are rid of this cancer in the industry called EA. I remember playing Underground and Carbon and loved the games. This game was garbage.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I hope some of the dev team actaully read some of these...
    To begin with..you are releasing a game..and not every game...you release Need For Speed.. for a long time you used to co-operate with EA which the past years "SHE" used to get more money from microtransactions. Now at the time being..EA not only ruined this game but it's going to ruin the games in the future just and only because you have to obey her rules since you made a contract. Although NFS games used to be very good when you were co-operating with EA the past years you manage to ruin everything when you got 1 team working for 2 games..You actually in the dev team allowed to yourselfs to get stressed out by some people who wanted to make more money..and as a resul..the team destroyed..and as the team destroyed you destroyed also the hapiness of your fans. We have to pay to enjoy most games..i understand that...but when a game is already at a really bad costing price don't say "HEY WE ARE GONNA RELEASE DLC's WHICH THEY ARE GOING TO BE 15$ each..i am not talking about the NFS games..but this is going to happen at the NFS [2019] (if it gets released at this part of time) by EA. You managed to destroy your name that you were building all these years both EA and NFS TM. I've been playing NFS since i got borned...and seeing all this...it makes me really sad..i hope you could stay at the formula of NFSU2 and NFSMW where the graphics were as great as we wanted them and the mechanizations of the game were the best at it's time..I am really dissapointed too because first time in my life i kind of dislike a racing game...
    You are trying to make a game and you are keen on to copy paste the FORZA and the Turismo series by giving NFS "SIMULATOR" physics...WHAT THE ACTUALL **** is going on your head? NFS games weren't about that..You were famous for your physics and the car customisation and guess what..when you ruin one of your main cores you can't keep going..you have to found another formula for the next NFS game(s) and do not let a bunch of GREEDY EA guys tell you what to do..as you can see this is the worst game you release.No ones want to play something that when you brake you drift...when you brake it means you want to go slower...EVEN PRO STREET DIDN'T DO THAT!!!! This game said nope i am not going to drift when i brake..guess what you did after this game..you tryed to make the cars drift when we brake. I seriously want you to take into account that when players want to make a grip car they are going to make A GRIP CAR! when they want to make a drift car they have to change the settings of the engine, the angle of the turning ratio and etc to HAVE A PROPER DRIFT CAR!! fiz your games!! we don't want to pay 60$ to have a game that we can't even play properly! You used to have this awesome songs while you were in a race going with 240 in a town while the bar for the cops was going tut tut tut tut tut tut tutututututututut and then the fun was begining...WHERE IS ALL THIS IN THE PRESENT GAMES???? And let's not talk about multiplayer...because okay we live in 2018-2019 the lag that bothers us is few almost there isn't. So you don't have an excuss to say that the physics are going to change due to lag or ping...when you decide to make a game such as used to be NFS you must think that HEY I MUST FIX THE PREVIOUS **** THAT I MADE AND BUILD A NEW FORMULA! that's all. I really dunno what to say..i almost wrote an essay but i couldn't do something else..i would suggest to everyone to not to buy that game unless they won't to spend money on somehting that it doesn't worth them..if it was 12$ I would say yeah for the money it worths this$$ but now really you make a bad game we pay an above of the clouds price and yet we do get nothing. I am not alone saying that. You have to fix your games and find a furmula that used to be as NFSMW or NFSU1/2. We do prey to the NFS gods sometimes to get a remastered version or so for this games..and they just do not hear us.    … Expand

    You already know, that there are loot boxes in this game, but also the whole card system with car parts - is so about mobile gaming. So, in common, this two game components making the NFC horrible for me and I don't understand why they try to make the separate game for PC and consoles. It is a game for phones.

    The cinematic parts and plot are even more hackneyed than loot boxex. All this funny or cool guys and girls. I bet if they change them with FIFA Journey or CoD characters you wouldn't even notice the different between them. And also the main story is the worth version of any Fast and Furious or other Hollywood racing movies.

    The gameplay is awful for me, the driving process made so, that I don't want to start another race. The environmetn monotonous and repetitive with the same turns, roads and colors. Every race or free riding looks like one endless race.

    If i was 10-13 years old boy, maybe I would play this game longer and with more pleasure, collecting all this rare cars parts and winning hundreds same races, but now it is too bad to spend my time for this.    … Expand

    Considering the last NFS game I actively played was Carbon which came out 15 years ago, it's hard to say that I was expecting too much from Payback. I can certainly say that Payback made me feel excited a few times... like 3 times, for about 3 seconds each. And that's where the game's pros end.

    On the Cons side...whoof, where to start.

    On the Cons side...whoof, where to start. The game feels empty - the plot is one you forget while playing it, filled to the brim with every cliche you could think of, the voice acting varies from barely acceptable to "holy crap they put that in a game?!", the characters are flat and wouldn't even work in a daytime CW soap opera, the graphics look ok for a 2012 game... but this one is from 2017 and the world feels like no one has ever or would ever live in it.

    Gameplay-wise, the game is a chore to play. The driving is absurdly arcadey, very few cars actually feel good, towards the end there is a horrendous difficulty spike, the drivers and pursuers are laughably aggressive - it is very unlikely that you're gonna get outraced, but holy hell are you gonna get the **** beaten out of you - Plan A for every NPC is to kill you in the most brutal way possible... there is no Plan B. The respawn option worked right about 10 times in my 10 hrs with the game - it usually either respawns you when there is no need for it or let's you just sit there after colliding face-first with a wall.

    The hit detection is questionable at best, the world is restrictive as hell and feels badly built - half the time I felt like I'm taking the longest route to my objective, only to find out it's the only way. Overall the missions are painfully repetitive and by the end of your second hour of playing you've already seen all the game can offer you.

    If I had to compare the last NFS game I played to this, I'd have to say that NFS is dead 70ft underground, never to be playable again, but I won't do that - I'll judge Payback on the base of what it's supposed to be - a good racing game. Well, considering it fails in essentially every aspect possible, I'd say a 3/10 is even a bit generous.    … Expand

    The game has a lot of bugs, like crashes and the floating car before a run. All the challenges are almost all the same. The game forces you to run and run again in order to progress (or you can use real money to buy lootboxes). The game physics is stupid. Furthermore, the difficult of the game are always the same: hard. It doesn't matter if you chose easy, normal or hard.

    Locked multiplayer unskippable cut scenes. Do they even want us to play or what?

    Unbalanced, uncomfortable, some races are to easy, some of them are super hard. I have better cars parameters then required and still stuck on one race. Also check points are an evil joke. Would never buy this game.

    The offroading portion of the game has got to be the most painful part of a racing game I've ever played down to the control mechanics and God awful track design. Everything else is great but they shove the off-road racing down your throat incessantly and it honestly ruins the game. Racing, drag, and drift are all phenomenal modes just ruin by one part of the game.

    Привет, менеджеры по продвижению и прочие гады в галстуках, считающие деньги. Вы дети больной собаки, наверно ни*yя в этой жизни кроме денег и не видете. Все жизни важны. Не только жизни нигеров. И за каким хером мне, заплатившиму за эту игру, видеть как вы на это надрачиваете? Отсюда и еденица.Привет, менеджеры по продвижению и прочие гады в галстуках, считающие деньги.

    AI is pathetic, can't finish off road missions.
    Don't buy this game. On easy difficulty some missions are very hard that u will get struck and have to quit the game.
    Made a mistake buying this game, have to quit in the middle because of difficulty. Never buying any EA game again

    Piece of crap. Steering model is bullsh*t, story is boring, characters are even more boring. Only the graphics are okay. The world is kinda poor by making it justa desert with a city. Desert can be nice and enteraining but not here.

    Decent Game-play and Driving. Ugly graphics and campaign. Also, Micro-transaction system from a free-to-play title implemented into a AAA? NFS Payback is just not a good experience

    Ticks all the boxes and delivers a decent, playable experience, but it's hugely derivative and feels far too familiar, especially if you've played The Crew. [Jan 2017, p.92]

    An infuriating slog hurt by its own structure. [Issue#195, p.80]

    If you stick with it you'll find a decent racer here but getting past the inane narrative, broken progression systems and longing for racers past takes some doing.
