Need for Speed™

[h1] Beautiful but Okay-ish [/h1] After completing all the latest NFS (Unbound, Heat and Payback) this game doesn't seem to pack a punch at all. Reasons : 1. The world is beautiful with amazing car sounds and detailing along with amazing music. However, the game becomes boring real fast as you happen to drive same sections of world in numerous events which is really off-putting. 2. Buggy collisions and janky physics makes some races really annoying. 3. This game is [b] "ALWAYS ONLINE" [/b] which means "Automatic game exit multiple times per day tu server maintenance". ⚠️⚠️⚠️ All-in-all, the game is very okay-ish experience at best hencd, only recommended on massive sale and true racing fanatics. Servers are reported to die within 2026 or 2027 at the latest, so if you want to play it buy it ASAP !!! Game can be 100% completed in 25 hours so it is a short refresher in a different world. 6/10 from me and a very difficult recommendation. Easily skippable game as NFS HEAT and Most Wanted 2012 are miles better.

Unplayable on Steam Deck. It's a good game, but the "playable" Deck compatibility rating is criminal. ProtonDB rating is out of date. The third party DRM ♥♥♥♥ EA pulls with this prevents it from ever getting past the EA app installer. There have been three completely different places in third party apps I've had to sign in to EA, and it still never worked. Even in desktop mode I have been struggling to get it past the third party app install process, let alone into the game. I'm sure it runs great on Windows, but that's not why I bought it.

画質もきれい。収録車種も個人的にはとても好き。でも、夜の景色しかないのが残念だ。

脑残物理引擎，狗屎一样的墙体碰撞，凡是车头碰墙必翻车；以及弱智ai对手，打个漂移赛这帮脑瘫能当冲刺赛来打，过个弯全部往老子身上撞；还有这个脑残活动但凡不小心蹭到墙，直接判定失败；还有这个“照片级画质”，狗屎可见度，道路指引全靠地标；纯狗屎滤镜，跑个比赛恨不得把眼睛闪瞎，开始比赛全屏闪一次，被通缉全屏闪一次，逃脱全屏闪一次，翻车全屏闪一次，结算全屏闪一次，结算角色经验闪一次，结算5种风格经验闪5次；还有那个饭桶死爹妈的警车跟在屁股后面那个狗屎警灯也是可以瞬间让光敏性癫痫患者口吐白沫的水平；再是这个没爹妈的街车，1000%刷新在拐角，拐个弯就像撞到水泥墙一样翻车，这样你就可以一遍遍的重来，不断的拉长游戏时长，用来填充ea高层那脑容量一般的游戏内容；最后就是这个傻逼全程联网，进游戏要加载，进服务器要加载，买车要加载，改车要加载，传送要加载，开比赛要加载，结算要加载，这傻逼游戏就没有一次是不用加载的；这所有的一切脑残设计在无限拉长游戏时长，[h1] 总之谨慎购买。 [/h1] [b] 这一作在steam评分排名系列末尾不是没有原因的 [/b] [spoiler] 哦对了，在我这个配置下2K分辨率全高画质进城市几乎是100%会遇到掉帧情况也是无敌了这屌游戏 [/spoiler]

Playable. Still some jibber jabber and quite a lot of unnecessary cutscenes and slightly convoluted UI and menus lol I was surprised to see other players in my game... Very few in game graphics settings, which is fine, but somehow graphics seems like loosing their sharpness near or far, and the game looks somewhat too darkish at night.

Not the best Need For Speed game that i've played before, but it's still pretty good, feels quite empty though.

Need for Speed has definitely started to show its age, and unfortunately, it shows in all the wrong places. While I did have fun with it at times, several core aspects of the vanilla experience are simply frustrating. The handling model is one of the biggest offenders. It often feels inconsistent and awkward rather than rewarding. Controller support isn't much better. I made the apparently outrageous decision to play a racing game with an Xbox controller, and I actually had to fix the game first just to get it working properly. [h2]Achievements[/h2] [b]Required time:[/b] 40-100+ Hours [b]Difficulty (in my opinion):[/b] 9.5/10 [b]DLCs required for 100%?:[/b] No As for the achievements: oh boy. The regular achievements are fairly straightforward. Most of them come naturally by completing the story and a few side activities, making for a reasonably enjoyable completion experience. Then comes Prestige Mode. This is where the fun comes to a screeching halt. You'll have to replay story events while meeting ridiculously demanding score and time requirements. Honestly, I have no idea how these were intended to be completed without mods. Even with handling mods installed, they're still extremely difficult. Every event demands near-perfect execution, while the roads remain packed with AI traffic. There's nothing quite like spending your 100th attempt on a drift event, finally being on pace for Gold, only for an NPC car to spawn or pull directly into your line in the final corner and instantly ruin the run. One final thing to keep in mind: this game requires EA's servers, and it's hard to imagine they'll stay online forever. Once they're gone, the game and 100% completion, will disappear with them. If you're just looking for a stylish arcade racer with great atmosphere, it's still worth checking out. But if you're an achievement hunter aiming for 100%, I simply can't recommend it.

It's a good game, but definitely not one of the best Need for Speed titles. The gameplay is really fun. The missions can become a bit repetitive after a while, but it's still engaging enough to keep you playing and wanting to progress. The car selection isn't very large. I really wish Bugatti had been included. One of the best parts of the game is the nighttime atmosphere—it looks absolutely amazing. There is also a bug that may or may not affect you. Some controllers don't work properly with the game. If you run into this issue, you can fix it by following this guide: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3040247021 Overall, I don't regret buying this game at all, especially with the 90% discount. It was definitely worth the price. That said, I don't think it's the kind of game I'll replay after finishing it.
