Honestly, a great game. No micro-transactions. You race, gain levels, and gain money. It's what games should be. I can play by myself and with my son. Buying and selling cars, applying community made wraps (with the virtual money), and upgrading different parts to make your car a beast. Also has off-roads vehicles and tracks. It's been a great game and worth the money.

one of the best nfs games after underground1/2 and most wanted. -the car control may seem a little strange in the first days, but you will get used to it and appreciate it later. the game has a small problem with CPU optimization, it is a CPU Eater, which means it eats between 70-95% of a new generation processor, but if you limit it to 4 cores and 8 threads, it will work just as well, but it will consume less cpu. I recommend using the "user.cfg" file in the game folder. Rating 8/10

Probably the best modern NFS game out there. It has aged extremely well and offers a much better upgrading system that removes everything that was wrong with Payback. The customization is still great as you would expect and I really enjoyed the garage space allowing you to showcase 8 of your builds at once. The cops are much more aggressive in this game and actually make night racing pretty fun and slightly more challenging. It is a little annoying that the game separates money making races and rep/leveling races between day and night but leveling isn't much of an issue with how much you can gain in a single run. I highly recommend, especially if it's on sale for under $5.

played this a load on xbox, decided to buy it for steam deck. it plays alright, a sold 45fps average, with lows of around 35 and highs around 60 in certain areas. the only thing i dont like about this game is the god awful launcher. ea play is a disgrace, a cancer and it deserves to be burned off of the face of the earth like the plague it is.
