This, Payback or NFS(2016)?

I'm thinking of picking up one of those, not interested in online at all. Which one is the most fun? Customisation is a plus but not the main selling point for me. Had the most fun with Hot Pursuit 2 as a kid

This one is something like NFS Hot Pursuit 2010 remake, but with open world, I think more cars, minimal customization and different power-ups. 30fps lock and game likes to crash sometimes. I'm other words - bad port from consoles. But fun anyway.

2016 - people complain about physics, but me and my friends find no problems with it (except sometimes) and game tend not to load roads instantly if your game is not on SSD. But if your HDD has good read speed - you won't have this problem. Customisation is good, except on hypercars there is not much, most of the time it's just basic stuff like rims, paint, livery, suspension settings, and most of them have wide bodykit. Graphics are pretty even in 2020, thanks to rain drops, wet roads and nighttime. Cops are dumb as ♥♥♥♥, they struggle keeping up with you most of the time, and if you go on the highway - evading pursuit is guaranteed. It's fun to play with friends.

Payback - big open map but mostly empty deserts, you get scripted slowdown on off-road EVEN on off-road cars, lootboxes. But at the same time many cats, most of them are highly customizable, cops are actually good now.

I would take the NFS 2015 to be honest, It gave me some strange but good feeling, that I never got since NFS World. But it's up to you - I wrote the basics of every game :D

Thanks! That's really helpful. I bought Rivals today and honestly didn't like it that much, I found loading times to be quite annoying and long for a game that's on an SSD, as much as 30 fps isn't a dealbreaker for me sadly the lack of actual pause in the menu bugs me a lot (I tend to get distracted or having to take a few mins break from time to time) plus the game crashed few times forced me to redo bunch of speedlists which was disappointing. Will get 2016 next and give it a try :)

This games amazing with 60fps mod and anti-aliasing mod... never had problems with load times. Plus loading screen in this game are nice.
