👎 NOT RECOMMENDED (Playtime: 25+ hours) ⭐ Rating:4/10(Fun gameplay, but a technical disaster) --- 🎮 The Gameplay (The Good) My girlfriend bought me this game as a gift, and the core gameplay is actually great. The racing physics feel solid, the night-time cop chases give a massive adrenaline rush, and the car customization is top-tier. If you only care about driving around for casual fun, you might enjoy it. ❌ The Technical Mess (The Bad) Unfortunately, a gift that should have been an amazing experience is completely dragged down by terrible optimization, launching issues, and broken integration with the EA App. Steam Launch is Broken: The game literally refuses to launch through Steam. The only way to get it running is by opening the EA App directly and launching it from there, praying that it actually starts. Completely Broken Achievements: The trophy synchronization makes zero sense. I somehow unlocked the trophies for Chapter 3 and Chapter 4, but Chapter 2 refuses to unlock no matter what. I only managed to get the Chapter 1 trophy after deleting my progress and starting a brand-new save file. To make things worse, other basic achievements are completely glitched—I can't even get the simplest trophies to unlock, like the one for just applying a basic vehicle wrap in the garage. EA App Crashes: The EA App constantly closes or loses connection in the background while playing, which completely breaks cloud saving and achievement tracking. Game Instability: The game randomly freezes or crashes straight to desktop, making you lose your hard-earned progress. 💬 Final Verdict I am deeply disappointed. Even though it was a nice gift from my girlfriend and the racing is fun, do not buy this game if you are an achievement hunter or expect a stable, working product. Until they fix the broken EA App sync and launching issues (which is unlikely), this game is a massive headache. Play it only for casual driving—otherwise, stay far away.
