I absolutely fell in love with this game. This is the best Need For Speed title in my opinion. Progression, races, customization, the open world, graphics, the gameplay shift between day and night, satisfying driving, everything was and felt great! The story was cool too.
Big portion of the dialogues are corny but they didn't bother me that much, they were actually entertaining in their "corniness" to be honest.
This is an absolute gem of a game.
