i love car games so this game was fine

GRID, which was one of the most unique racing series of all time, comes back in such a shallow and sauceless package that you'd think it was a fan-made spiritual successor. There's not really anything wrong with this game, but there's not really anything notable about it either. Playing it feels like eating lukewarm leftovers, lacking all the spice and effort of the original dish.

Gone is a story or really any kind of interesting campaign structure. Similar to Forza, you now simply have a list of events to complete before unceremoniously racing against generic boss racers. A new leveling system is implemented, but all this means is that some cars will be locked not behind completion of milestones or achieving the money necessary to acquire them, but simply grinding out enough races. The series' previously iconic sense of gray-red style is replaced by a bland beige smog background that carries through almost all menus.

Feels like a game from 2004 for all the wrong reasons, and from a studio infinitely less talented than I know Codemasters is capable of being.

Insanely repetitive gameplay. Lots of events that all feel like the same event on repeat.

Overall it was a pretty good game. The racing physics were hard to get used to at first because they weren't like other racing games that I had played before. I enjoyed the tracks in the game at first but they quickly became too repetitive and boring, as well as the cars being used over and over again. Decent game overall, I might consider Grid Legends if I find the time.

I mean, it's fine? The racing feels alright, but just decent-feeling racing isn't really enough anymore. The career mode is pretty slim, and there doesn't seem to be a TON of variety in the racing or in the vehicles.

Plusy: przyjemny model jazdy, całkiem ładna grafika, niezły soundtrack
Minusy: bardzo mało zawartości bez DLC, próba zrobienia z gry live service
