The racing is pretty good and there are lots of cars and locations on offer. The story is pretty funny and bad but I still enjoyed it. The career, however, is a long slug. There is too much grinding involved to unlock some events and most of the events are too long to be enjoyable. The grinding in the end game to unlock all the trophies was also really boring.
But overall, it is still a solid game with a dumb and funny story but it is not worth completing the whole career mode.

Mecanicamente é a mesma coisa do Grid 2019, gameplay arcade boa de se jogar e em dificuldades mais altas a IA passa um nível elevado de desafio. Sobre a história é aquela velha coisa de sempre, piloto novato que tem que mostrar que é bom e etc, etc, etc..
É um jogo bom de corrida, melhor que muito NFS atual.

The physics is pretty bad, but I guess that might be me getting tired of arcade racing games. The AI is either too easy or too annoying depending on the setting. Almost as annoying as multiplayer, especially when it randomly starts lagging, freezing your screen for multiple seconds. Which is unfortunate because it can be fun with friends.
Platinum is a bit too grindy.
Visually it's good tho

Grid Legends es un buen juego, pero escaso en comparación con otros Grid.
En este Grid Legends han querido profundizar en una historia que es realmente buena y entretenida, dura unas casi 6 horas y tiene escenas grabadas como si fuera una película, y sorprendentemente siendo bastante cliché te consigue enganchar y mantener un aura bastante épica hasta el final.
El resto del juego es donde falla, y es que en comparación con otros Grid en los cuales tu ibas creciendo poco a poco por una tanda de niveles hasta llegar a lo mas alto, aquí han preferido centrarse en una buena historia y en el online (muerto a día de hoy), lo que para mi es una decisión desastrosa. Complica y hace pesado todos los modos extra a parte de la historia.
Estos modos extra son como los de siempre, tienes 4 categorías que iras desbloqueando según vas jugando, comprando coches/mejorándolos/mejorando el equipo y el mecánico y superando poco a poco estas fases hasta llegar al nivel final "El Gauntlet", todo pinta muy bien, pero después de jugar la historia se vuelve algo extremadamente soso, pasamos de una narrativa con una atmosfera super épica, con música muy buena, comentaristas muy bien doblados, compañeros hablando durante las carreras aumentando toda la ambientación, pasamos a carreras sosas, sin nada de epicidad, cero comentarios, aburriendo bastante rápido porque son los mismos circuitos de tooooda la vida de Grid, los cuales vemos obviamente también en la historia (no todos, pero casi).
El juego esta muy bien en cuanto a historia y DLC's que expanden esta historia, pero en cuanto a contenido extra se vuelve algo monótono, pesado y soso, centrándose en un online a día de hoy muerto.
Me habría encantado tener un modo carrera, que es lo que parecía, creación de un equipo, gestionar los coches, los compañeros, y realmente puedes hacerlo pero entre muchas comillas porque el impacto real que tiene es mínimo, me esperaba algo como los modos carrera de los F1, con un equipo propio, tabla de clasificación, temporadas, pero no lo tiene y habría sido la dirección perfecta para mantener vivo este juego bastante mas tiempo, ya que por suerte la conducción con prácticamente todos los coches es muy agradable, haciendo que como de costumbre en los juegos de esta saga la conducción sea super cómoda.
Resumiendo, el juego es divertido, tiene una buena historia, es bastante cómodo y divertido a la hora de jugar, pero le falta contenido de calidad mas allá de la historia.

Jogar Grid é jogo um F1 arcade, me senti bem confortável na maior parte do tempo, depois de umas horas se torna bem exaustivo.
A decent racing game with a single player experience that encapsulates what the series itself was going through. Finishing the story mode feels bittersweet knowing the current state of GRID.
While most likely this is the last entry in the series, it's great to see it come to a positive conclusion.

grid legends is a step up from grid 2019 - what was a game that had a good baseplate for what was to come, however lacked in content and failed to engage with the player, leaving an experience that many got bored of before finishing. grid legends had one thing to do - build up upon what grid 2019 left and find a way to make the ingame experience feel unique and enticing.
did it? yes and no.
at the start, you would be pointed to the story mode, a episode like story staged like a netflix show like f1’s “drive to survive” series. a new take to the series, however shown previously in codemaster’s f1 story mode games in f1 2019, f1 2021, and f1 23. the story - although predictable - was well put together and had references to the previous grid and toca games that came before this entry, what shows the attention put into it. additionally, the story mode doesn’t take too long, and can be used to get a grasp on how the game works. the parts are usually “do this (normally finish a certain position) and move on” sort of thing, what isn’t too bad and doesn’t rely on the ai and their actions.
however, this game very quickly overstays its welcome, especially in achevement hunting.
after the story mode, you would be moved onto the career mode. one problem - the career mode is staged in the exact same way as grid 2019’s career mode. except for the new content, such as drift and elimination events, this game has the same carrer mode as its predecessor, just shown in a different format. i had to take multiple breaks before finishing this game, as races felt like a chore, doing the same thing again and again. what made it worse is that some championships could be 3 races, or as short as 1. some races inside of them can be 2 minutes long, or up to 12 minutes long, so you don’t know how long it will take until you experience the races yourself.
furthermore, the car upgrade system doesn’t work well. to upgrade your car, you need to drive a certain distance with it. seems fine, however some championships only unlock when you can get upgrades at a certain level, what means (usually) you would have to spend time going around a oval just to get the miles for the championship. the final “pro” series forces you to do all of the championships, so sometimes you will have to farm mileage for championships. furthermore, you also need to get to tier 3 for roughly 15 cars and go beyond that for two more cars! this game quickly outstayed it’s welcome on my end, where getting all achevements ment doing events that felt like the same race again and again, and mile grinding that also feels like doing the same thing as before.
for an additional price, you can also get the special edition for dlcs. bare in mind that for the 100% you do need to get the dlcs. the stories are well put together and work as a extension for the base game story mode. the destruction derby dlc has buggy collision, what proves to be a problem when the requirements for the events are based on the collision model. the endurance and seneca one was okay, does the job well and showcases the edurance feature added (although the events are a maximum of 10/15 minutes long), the ravenwest dlc is in my opinion the best one out of the 4 dlcs, the events also further focus in on the throwbacks to the toca series of games as well as race driver grid, especially in the art direction for the ui for those events. the snow dlc was forgettable, think it’s because it just feels like regular events but in snow conditions. overall they do work well as their own solo events, and add small parts into the ingame universe that has been built up, however don’t expect massive amounts of focus in on the story like the main story mode.
overall, grid legends is a game that made an attempt on its job - to build on the baseplate left by grid 2019. did it work well? yes, as long as you take the best parts in, the story mode works well and the dlc adds onto it. furthermore, the new modes added can break up the monotony of regular races, and are also showcased quite a bit by the game. however, the same base career mode left by the game still leaves a bitter taste - as there is no real feeling of being in a team, more feeling like a shopping list of events to complete. a far cry from race driver grid’s career mode with teammate, money and car management features.
it’s a shame though this may be the final entry, ea hasn’t said anything about the franchise for a while and with dirt’s transformation into ea wrc, it looks like all of codemaster’s franchises are being turned into sports series or being canned. so this may be the end of the grid franchise, with the modern era leaving a game that although overstays it’s welcome for some, leaves some notes inside of its finale for a series that had seemed to peak in the mid to late 2000s, like most racing game franchises.

Ta wapo
Joguei apenas o modo história e já foi de mais. Dificuldade mal balanceada, nas corridas finais tiveram algumas com mais dificuldades que outras. A ultima corrida foi um bom desafio, porem em geral é um jogo de corrida bem mediano, mas da pra se divertir em alguns momentos.
I only played the story mode and that was enough. Poorly balanced difficulty, in the final races there were some with more difficulties than others. The last race was a good challenge, however in general it is a very average racing game, but you can have fun at times.

Physics felt a bit wonky, game looked and sounded great though.
This game is a lot more than just its story mode, but that's what I experienced in my 4 hours and it's decent. The handling is a bit too muddy for my taste and the story mode is a little too easy and has the usual racing game disconnect of me winning all races and the game portraying my performance as adequate and shows the team struggling.
Performance is really good, graphically the game looks really nice.

It's a bit sad to think that the racing game that entertained me the most recently wasn't the latest Forza Motorsport or Gran Turismo, but this game. I didn't play it with high expectations, as I've tried other GRID games before, and none of them caught my attention. However, this one is so beautiful, runs so well, and its live service aspect is so unintrusive that it's hard not to like it. I found the idea of splitting it into two modes quite interesting. The story mode introduces the game in a cool way, and then you can continue in the career mode if you enjoyed the gameplay. The difficulty options are also praiseworthy.
A return to form for the Grid series (and especially Race Driver, for those cool enough to know). The variety is back alongside an actually interesting single-player that mimics a sports documentary style to tell it's shockingly enthralling story. While it probably wasn't enough to save Codemasters and the series as a whole, it's a triumphant final oo-rah for a series that seemed to be on the way out.
no geral eu gostei do jogo, o modo historia eh bem legal eu nao esperava isso, unico problema sao as atuaçoes que sao bem vergonhosas mas a gameplay eh boa para um jogo arcade.
fiquei decepcionado com o modo carreira, apesar do jogo ser legal se torna bem enjoativo

Being addressed only by my racing number constantly is giving Agent 47 lmao
This is genuinely the most fun I've had with a racing game in a while. The bar for progression and story in the racing genre is admittedly pretty low, but here they were the highlights of the experience for me. The career mode story was entertaining, the mix of live-action and CGI cutscenes was innovative, and the office style mockumentary had me chuckling throughout.
The simcade handling model is one of the best among EA's racing games. I hope NFS moves in this direction instead of doubling down on the drift-heavy gameplay. Docking half a star because multiplayer is a mess and you can't create custom races without opening an online lobby for some reason.
Regardless, this is a massively underrated series, and I enjoyed it FAR more than Forza Motorsport.

Game is too short, but this defines simcade genre, really enjoyed the story :D, multiplayer is alright, handling feels very responsive and fluid.
