EA releases probably the most decent NFS game of the last 10+ years and instead of unleashing its potential and making it a real contender and alternative to Forza Horizon with updates, new cars, maps etc they decide to pull the plug on it to release a shitty cringier cartoon NFS couple years later. Good job.

Despite its cringe story (i dont understand why ea is so persistent in putting these nonsensical stories in racing games, fast n furious was over 20 years ago) this is a great arcade racer with cool customization and a great neon aesthetic. It's not as good as Forza Horizon, but definitely worth it on a big sale.

Gave it a good go but it bored me to death, more of a interactive story than a video game. Tries to be god of war (2018) with bits and pieces from the witcher but everything is watered down and clunky. The only thing i liked was the atmosphere and ambience.

Combat is an afterthought and exploration is walking around big empty corridors, and every 10 steps there is a gap you have to squeeze through, or a ledge, or a climbable wall that takes 5-10 seconds to get through, which serves no purpose I can see other than a loading time trick.
