    After the absolutely shocking state of Gran Turismo 7. I’m glad I’ve bought this game.

    Ever think you'd see the day when, given a choice between two racing games, you'd pick the one without the aggressive microtransactions

    Well code masters has nailed another great racer that I'm glad I've added to my collection, in a nutshell this is the same as previous Grid games but that`s not a bad thing. They`ve tried something different with the Story mode using Real Actors which was a bit drab but fun to play all the high end cars early on.

They`ve tried something different with the Story mode using Real Actors which was a bit drab but fun to play all the high end cars early on. One good thing is Code masters have removed the STUPID distance driven trophy like in previous games of Grid/Dirt so Trophies achievable. All in all I'm enjoying it still and I'm about 40hrs in time wise. Looking like a 100hr Racer for the Platinum I think but I don`t mind that as the racing is fun, smooth and easy to pick up.… Expand

    There is so much content in this game and there is never not anything to do. The customization is amazing and feels well thought out. Never ran into any stutter problems and performance was really good. The racing feels fun and is such a joy to drive around in this game.
    Bad- The soundtrack only plays in story mode and that feels like something that needs to be patched. The    Good-

    Bad-
    The soundtrack only plays in story mode and that feels like something that needs to be patched. The "story" feels pointless and just something to market the game. The progression is a bit slow and can feel unrewarding at times.

    Thoughts-
    GRID Legends will almost certainly bring a smile to the face of any fan of the series as it mostly feels like an improvement over the already great game from 2019. The sheer amount of tracks, vehicle types with their own handling to master, and customization options are enough to make it a worthy successor to its predecessor. But the bonuses of the nemesis system returning, the outstanding soundtrack, and the flexible cross-play online functionality make it a great racing game in a more macro sense, too. While it misses an opportunity to really connect with a more original story mode and fails to fully leverage some of its more unique characteristics, it still provides a rewarding and adaptable racing game that burns up the track in the areas that matter most.    … Expand

    Offline playable, no microtransactions, great graphics, good AI. Sony/Polyphony should take a look here on how to make a proper racing game and not ripping off players!

    Much better than the first one, in every aspect. Great graphics, mostly arcade gameplay, career, online. It's not a day one buy and that's the main reason that the sales are so low, but now it worths a try.

    GRID Legends is a very fun racing game. While it's far from perfection, it has great gameplay and very good depth.

    I'm actually having a blast with this. Got for free on PS plus. My favorite 2 racers are iRacing and Wreckfest. This is like a middle ground. Definitely more like wreckfest but with a little more substance to the controls and many different vehicles. Recommend for race fans!

La parte della storia poteva essere realizzata meglio secondo me, a lungo andare è risultato ripetitivo avere sempre questi spezzoni di video tra una gara e l’altra, dove il più delle volte ho fatto fatica a capire il racconto della storia. Tutto sommato però è un titolo di corse che bisogna avere se vi piace questo genere. Io personalmente mi sono divertita molto e ci passerò ancora molto tempo, soprattutto per giocare in multiplayer e sfidarmi con gli amici! Ottimo lavoro!… Expand

    Game is fun. I liked Grid Autosport very much but it got repetitive and some categories of races were just the same but with different gimmick (like Endurance races which boiled down to normal races but with tyre wear, if this mode had pit-stops this would be way better).

    Coming from Grid Autosport this game is improvement on all bases. This game could make a lots of money and fund a fun sequel if it didn't launch the same day as Elden ring and month before Gran Turismo 7 which stole all the spotlight from this game.

    Classic EA tactics. Make it's own studio fail to close it and cut costs whenever possible. They did the same to Respawn when they launched Titanfall 2 the same day as Battlefield 1.

    Such a fun game that is easy to pick up and play! I found the story mode interesting to follow and it serves as a great way to introduce the player to the game. The DLC allows players to continue that original story mode and branch out into a few different sub stories relating to the characters involved in the game.

The ending to the story also ties in nicely to allow players to continue their game experience in an expanded career mode. Physics are definitely that of an arcade game, which makes it fun to throw cars around knowing they will stick 99% of the time. The only downfall is that I would like to see the game have fuel and tyre wear and working pit stops like the Race Driver 3 game had before they moved in the Grid direction.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Grid is a racing game that sits somewhere in the middle between arcade and sim racing games. It has a short story mode which was good enough to entertain. The cutscenes are done by real actors and I think the people who were cast did a good job and seemed like they enjoyed themselves. There is also a career mode which is basically a single-player mode where you compete in disciplines with various types of cars. Difficulty can be tweaked to personal preferences although I found some races to be much more difficult than others, implying AI is more suited to a certain type of race. A solid game that will fly under the radar for many.… Expand

    Wow, what a solid game. It's funny that this game has an unique identity, with some elements that gran turismo could of used. Although gran turismo is a solid game (ignoring the missteps in the beginning and management of the overall game and lack of content for casual players like me), it's career/story mode being through cafe menu books would of been so much better if they used voiceWow, what a solid game. It's funny that this game has an unique identity, with some elements that gran turismo could of used. Although gran turismo is a solid game (ignoring the missteps in the beginning and management of the overall game and lack of content for casual players like me), it's career/story mode being through cafe menu books would of been so much better if they used voice actors or full cinematic actors like grid legends does.

    I also think the feature of being able to rewind when you make a mistake is such a great idea, instead of your race being ruined or fall behind and having to try to catch up for the rest of the race, this feature allows you to go back several seconds and basically start before your error and allow you to correct your mistake.

    As for the graphics, it's fine, nothing special. There are times though where some of the maps feel unpolished, *lights showing through map/hills, odd collisions with rails/walls, texture loading errors, these are just a few examples

    Also I feel like the game starts to run out of racing maps towards the end of the story mode.
    As for the driving mechanics, it's passible. I do feel like the weather elements don't really have the impact it should have. Controls are fine, although it does feel a bit less fluid compared to other racing games I have played.

    I did get this game through ps plus, and then got the expansion for like $20, which provides a bunch of additional story and different type of events.

    Obviously this game doesn't have the same seriousness of gran turismo or forza, but it's around the middle of the spectrum where it's casual but can be competitive yet realizes it's a game so it feels fun.

    Overall, 8/10 for me, you can get this game probably for cheap now, I know it's on gamepass too. Worth it in my opinion    … Expand

    Grid Legends is a super game for the price in sale and the addons in the deluxe upgrade version for 20€ is absulutly fair. Fair enough in my opinion.

    Graphically, the game doesn't do too poorly, although a comparison with last year's Forza Horizon 5 wouldn't make it a winner. Grid is more thrilling, can be pleasantly fresh thanks to the different types of races like elimination, and even if it doesn't use DualSense as well as Gran Turismo, it's still a solid racing game that is sure to entertain with its variety of cars, tracks, and well-handled multiplayer.

    If you are a GRID fan and want to have lots of fun with the newest entry of the series, GRID Legends is a nice addition to your library. But if you are looking for a more realistic approach instead of an arcade one, maybe you should probably look elsewhere.

    Grid Legends is a distinguished racing game, specially by its story in the "documentary" style - one of the best I've seen in games of the genre - despite being cliché and leaving the player in the background. This is a great racing game. It's a shame it was "squeezed" into a season with many equally excellent games vying for attention. Going head to head against Forza Horizon 5 and Gran Turismo 7 isn't easy, but Grid Legends brings its own identity and shows that the genre has much more to offer.
