    Its not the worst entry, however its obvious that the game was built to please the publisher and satisfy their vision of the series instead of the players.

When you first see the open world it appears to be filled with a lot of activities to do. However, the deceptive nature of this becomes apparent as you progress. Pretty much all the story sections are quite dull due to bad writing and the game has too much grinding. The free roaming areas lack random diversion like police roaming around to avoid or a running into a random pack of cars to take out.

    In the end, the remaining side activities like challenge races while a little enjoyable are not sufficient to keep you coming back. Having to go through unfun bits in hopes for some fun is simply not acceptable.

    Also, a lot of the cool customization options which used be given as rewards can now simply be purchased by anyone through microtransactions which makes you feel less like you're unique or skilled and that's also not a good thing.    … Expand

    EA can f*** off. Every game from this moment forward will be filled with lootboxes and microtransaction. All of their game from here on out will be specially crafted and engineered to fool you into paying even more for their crappy games. No thanks, an EA game hasn't touched my PS4 and it never will.

    The cool stuff, like the fast & furious kind of relics, are done by cinematics, not you.
    Micro-transitions.
    No police in the free world, and escaping the cops no longer have the "deal with it" vibe.
    Slot machine is just non-sense.
    Don't waste your money.

Not only does this make cop chases not fun to play but it also hinders replay ability as you become bored after you finish the campaign (its like removing cops from GTA...yeah). They also removed online free roam, which begs the question as to why create an open world if the game is so linear?

    The good things about the game are the customization and the world they built. There is a bit of a grind but it’s managable and the story while cliche has good voice acting so it’s passable. The Handling is improved but drifting has become even easier and is the preferred choice over grip as it provides a slight speed advantage. Some minor annoyances are that the off-road section needs a bit more focus and that some cars can’t reach the max level so you are forced to use a car you don’t neseserily like in order to have a chance to compete.

    Overall this game could have had a higher score but it’s missing the main feature that differentiates the need for speed series to other games like forza horizon, the crew etc, and that is free roaming cops. At the moment it feels like a it’s trying copy those games and overall it feels incomplete.I just hope they add free roam cops and online multiplayer in a future update or this game will die early due to its lack of replayability.    … Expand

    You just fell in my eyes and in the eyes of many fans. And yes, it's not even about money. For this you do not want to pay, just a disgusting plot, a cliche on a cliche, a very boring world, fairly flat cars, problems with light are clearly taking place. Frostbite can not be adjusted to racing. Cars behave on the road just awful. I do not know who these people are that put the game 10 points. Maybe it's just those who devour any product .... If this game was not in the title of the legendary NFS, she would not have surrendered to anyone. The series has slipped, the worse it just can not be games.

    A full priced game with Free-to-play lootbox elements? Are you kidding me??? Watch my word... This studio will we the next that will be closed by EA. I must admit, NFS 2015 was a OK game. It has it's flaws but it had soul in it. This game has NONE of that magic. Combined with the crazy card/lootbox system, this is the race failgame of the year for me.

    Sigh.... Where To begin, I am a HUGE Fan of the Need for Speed Franchise and Have been since "Need for Speed Porsche Unleashed" Released way back in 2000.... Sence then i have Played Literally Every NFS Game to be created and I can Honestly Say this is By far the Most Disappointing game Of not only the Series but the year of 2017 overall.

    Instead of Listening to NFS Fans EA instead seems to have created what they feel is the new "Hot" Thing Right now. Players are forced to Sit through Hours of Cringe-Worthy Cinematics when all anyone wants to be doing is bloody racing.

    while at its core the Driving is a Slight Improvement over previous Enrerys in the Series its Bogged down under so much Unnecessary Crap that it's VERY VERY hard to actually Enjoy the racing for what it is. a BS Broken Progression system designed to create an emphasis on Selling Loot Creates. A Complete Lack of Replayability Hamers EA's Need for you to Spend more money home even further. The Removal of by many accounts the best aspect of Modern NFS Games Actual Cop Chases.... Not These On Rails Go where we tell you to Go or you fail the "Race" Nonsense, An open world filled with nothing but Busywork with all of the Fun Striped out for a reason ill never understand.

    This game had loads of potential But. ya........ EA screwed this game Hard..... in the Hopes that it in turn will force us (the Players) to Spend as much money as physically Posible.

    What Really Hurts me is that EA will take this as NFS cant sell copies.... that its the NFS brand that is at fault..... God Forbid you made a game Players and Fans NEVER wanted.... If you wanted to make a Fast and Furious Inspired game it should have been the First movie in that franchise where the emphasis was still on street racing..... Remember EA.... that thing your games have Always been about.

    I Prey there will be more NFS Games.... I Hope they will focus more on the Driving and less on well Everything Else....

    For the Love of Got People..... Can we Just Get a Streetraceing Game.... It Doesn't need an "Involved" Story I just want to Race in a game with a proper Progression system where if I find a Car I like I never need to get rid of it to be competitive.

    Overall This Version of NFS has alright Racing at its core.... But sadly you spend so little time actually Driving that it's very easy to Forget how good NFS driving could have been if EA focused on that Instead of the Mountains of Garbage they chose to through on Top of This Poor Game.

All they had to do was build upon the strong base they had in Need for Speed (2015), however, for all of the positives of that game they've essentially wiped them away and changed it. This game is driven towards making you mindlessly grind for upgrade parts or spend real money (on top of the $60+ you've already spent) in order to keep your car competitive.

    Need for Speed Payback is easily one of the best games in some time in this franchise. The open world racing, and multiple racing types, bring a much needed breath of fresh air to this series as the player competes in various events throughout the game. The story, an intentionally campy revenge plot that is clearly inspired by various movies such as the Fast and the Furious and Gone inNeed for Speed Payback is easily one of the best games in some time in this franchise. The open world racing, and multiple racing types, bring a much needed breath of fresh air to this series as the player competes in various events throughout the game. 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.

    Customization is deeper than it ever has been in the past with many parts being able to mold themselves to others and thus increasing the combinations available to design your own unique vehicle. Coloring and vinyl wrap editing have also been improved making them easier to work with resulting in more varied and impressive designs. You do need to complete activities to unlock all the parts on the cars, but this will not take long in terms of game time and gives the player a chance to explore the world and learn about the activities available in Free Roam.

    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. An increase in various activities to complete in those online game modes would also improve on multiplayer.

    There is the elephant in the room in that there is no online free roam in Need for Speed Payback unless you are in an online lobby and you do not “Ready” yourself. This is an oversight that was put in place due to miscommunication between fans and developers in which Ghost thought that fans just wanted to get right into the action and not have to hunt for the races. While this is accurate, it does not mean that the players don’t also want to drive about the map with their friends and just have random fun.

    Losing police in free roam is less of an issue and is more reminiscent to Underground and Underground 2. The events that do contain the police are point to point races in which the police seemingly disappear when the player gets near the end of the event. Even playing the game on hard these events never feel truly challenging during the course of the game and are the games weakest point. Removing the point to point aspect of these events would make the police chases more varied and entertaining.

    Overall this game is an excellent purchase for long time fans of the series and it goes to show that Ghost games has been listening to their fans. A few blunders along the way do keep the game from being a perfect racer and causing the game to come in behind older titles that accomplished what Need for Speed was going for in a better way. Despite these mistakes the game is still a worthwhile purchase with the understanding that Ghost will continue to support the game and polish it’s rough edges.    … Expand

    Need for Speed: Payback
    Feels more like running errands than racing
    Need for Speed is an 18 hour long Arcade Racer where you play as 3 different characters in a story where theyre betrayed during a heist and youll never guess what these characters want… Did you guess yet? You were wrong.. they want payback Need for Speed Payback is probably the weakest need for speed game ive ever    Need for Speed: Payback
    Feels more like running errands than racing
    Need for Speed is an 18 hour long Arcade Racer where you play as 3 different characters in a story where theyre betrayed during a heist and youll never guess what these characters want…
    Did you guess yet? You were wrong.. they want payback
    Need for Speed Payback is probably the weakest need for speed game ive ever played
    This game follows the formula of 2015s need for speed that tried to capture the magic of underground 2… which isn’t a bad thing…
    They actually listened to feedback from that game and improved its offerings by adding drag races and cars feel much more customizable…
    However this game is lesser in every other aspect
    The story mode here is completely throwaway, it tries desperately to go the fast and the furious route, but the characters and missions just aren’t interesting enough… besides one really cool heist mission…
    But that one mission is the only fun this 18hrs offers…
    This open world which ads off roading.. another improvement.. just isn’t fun to drive through… its bland and because of that every race is bland…
    Again there are 3 different characters but there are 5 different race modes
    Theres circuit racing and drag racing which is handled by tyler
    Drifting and offroad which is handled by mac
    and finally there are run missions handled by jess
    And you need 1 car for each mission type and as you clear missions new cars will unlock for later chapters
    I didn’t mind most of these missions.. they just feel like busy work.. you never feel like youre some awesome crew taking over the area.. you just feel like youre doing a job the whole time… and this feeling smacks you the hardest when you play as jess…
    The run missions are just awful..
    Youre either running to different spots on the map before a timer runs out or youre running from annoying cops trying to make it from checkpoint to checkpoint…
    racing itself though feels just okay…
    The soundtrack here is probably one of the worst licensed soundtracks to ever exist in a game…
    And this isn’t a genre problem, I love all genres of music, and there wasn’t one song here that was fun to listen or race to,
    But the games biggest flaw is that to me literally every single car in this game feels identical
    I understand this is arcade and not a simulation racer… but I should still be able to feel the difference between lambo and Camaro, but i couldn’t
    I drive bumper cam and a lot of the time I don’t even remember what im driving…
    you only get a sense of your car being underpowered when you try to do a race that’s too high of a level…
    That’s right theres a leveling system for both you and your car… and the leveling system for your car is tied to speed cards…
    My feeling on this is up and down.. on the positive.. youre rewarded a speed card at the end of every race… this is basically a random part to upgrade your car with which then upgrades its level.. you can also just flat out buy cards at shops that refresh every 10 minutes..
    And if you get a card you don’t like you can sell it or trade it in for a part token and then trade 3 part tokens for a spin at a new random card but you get to pick the part…
    There is also a loot box system with cash, part tokens and cosmetics…
    On the negative.. .everything is random.. you don’t get to choose what improves and what doesn’t.. you don’t have a true feel of your current cars potential..
    You don’t know if you have to buy a new car every chapter which is what I did.. or if you can go out into the world and grind to bring your starter car up to the level of a super car…
    And I feel this system is exactly why every car feels exactly the same…
    even when youre upgraded you don’t feel more powerful… your opponents just aren’t pulling ahead of you as much..
    and because of this the racing just feels empty and again like busy work..
    There are plenty of challenges like speed traps and drifting around this boring world and collectables, but This is just a very forgettable racing experience…
    Its not bad but its not good either.. its very much just okay

    After completing the main story after around 24hrs which for an EA game is a decent length. It left a taste in my mouth that i cannot quite grasp, bitter sweet? A love/hate? I found myself finding foibles in what the game wanted to be. A satirical collaboration of stereotypes, A mash of cringe upon cringe from the main characters, The writing was just bad credit to David Ajala (Mac) for managing to crack me up on multiple occasions, sadly his character is the only one that feels like it belongs and has any feel whatsoever, the rest are washboard at best.

    Enough of the bad for a period, why am i giving it a 8? well simple the game is a joy to play the different race categories have enough diversity in the way they play, my only wish was that Drag races would know what they want to be when they grow up, but we'll come back to that. Generic "Race" is my personal favourite however there is nothing quite like the butt clenching terror of the "Offroad" they're engaging and thrilling blasting horizontally around a mountain at 150mph is nothing short of difficult but not so much that you have to be a god amongst plebs. And as mentioned before you play as Mac for the rally/drift stages so another bonus there and he’s the best.

    Now a moment for a critique and that's some of the races/missions just seem lost and confused. Drag for example takes a perfectly good system of the ¼ mille stint timing gear changes with nitro to thrash you poor defenceless NPC gasping for air in a dust cloud. But then suddenly you're taking a car that sticks its nose in the air at the push the throttle around a tight track run, this isn't helped by the fact drag cars tend to handle like a blind elephant on broken roller skates. It’s honestly my biggest complaint and would legitimately spark my ayre at times. Really took away from the drag scene and made it become tedious to contend in the events. Although the wheeling was rather hilarious when jumping over other racers.

    If i had to choose one thing to take away from the game it would have to be the livery system the freedom to do with just about anything, from making a epileptics nightmare with barney the dinosaurs vomit across the hood of the car. Or if you're bored like i was a local English police car because why not? The level of freedom is exceptional when creating the designs the car is separated into several sections i.e roof and hood, Right side. Left side (option to copy all layers and symmetric) bumpers and windows. Each decal will populate a "layer" which there is a infinite number of to play with. Made for a lot of my game time fiddling with each decal to get the perfect look. This is all complimented with the visual customisation to boot such as spoilers and body kits, which all become unlocked by doing challenges in the world. The customisation if defiantly front and centre here which i love, NFS has always been about decked out cars going fast.

    To round this off i'd say it's a good game that could of been better, The card system wasn't terrible allows for some ridiculous cars, A 60's vw beetle with 1000 horsepower? because why not? However it becomes kind tedious and meticulous toward the end search for those 0.02 seconds off of your 0-60 and all the most symbiotic perks to create the fastest car. Police are horrifically unbalanced and make zero sense but they show up rarely enough for it not to be that big a pain in the arse and ramming them into a wall deals with them promptly, However you will not out run them. The story missions are to few and far between which is sad as they added something fresh to the go fast. Example you end up smashing through police roadblocks in a car transporter for one mission which was class as it made me feel like Bruce Banner after he stubbed his toe.
    Over all game play was a lot of fun getting all the fancy cars is easy and barely have to work for them controls after a quick edit are solid not the best but functional. Definitely worth picking up and playing even if it's just for it trying its best to pay homage to the NFS of old, Sadly i doubt there will ever be a sequel but here's hoping.

    Summary 8/10 Good game with with glaring floor's that could of easily been avoided.    … Expand

    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.
