really great game to play solo or with friends, my cousin loves to play this game lol

This game really has its ups and downs

For the pros:
1. I really liked the unique new quick boost nitrous system, it feels really rewarding when you save up to that final 3 tank full boost, feels amazing
2. The new funky cartoon-ish type look really sets this game as an unique one in the nfs series as a whole
3. The map is kept compact and some of the places are really fun to drive to
4. The game has enough side objectives which gives a reason to explore the whole map
5. The cops in 5 stars difficulty really gives off a kind of dread in ur mind to make them shake them off fast (which is very hard to do btw)
6. The car roaster is quite broad and vehicles are nice to drive to at higher speeds
7. The animations at higher speeds are really nice

Now, For the cons:
1. The EA Launcher associated with the game is really badddd, everytime i try to launch the game, i have to click on play like 10 times and even then sometimes it doesnt work
2. The cars feel nice on the road but one small side-scratch with another car and boom WRECKED, the cars are so prone to destruction, feels like the car is made of plastic
3. Tied with the 2nd point, the cars are made of plastic, the cops are the same, under 4 stars, the cops dont even feel like a threat, you can just ram them with a bit of high speed and they are WRECKED, no challenge at all
4. The drifting mechanic in this game is really underwhelming and bad, idk if its just me or what but you really cannot drift properly in this game, the differentials between grip and drift are weird even with drift tyres and drift build on
5. Tied with the 4th point of drifting being bad in this game, The few drift missions of drift score races(endurance events) and takeover events are really bad with the drifting being underwhelming

Ok, i also got some mixed opinions of this game:
1. The Voice of the Male VA in this game is so ass, i played with him the first time, and i didnt even take him seriously, (Tip: Play with the Female VA with her voice turned deep), also the voice-lines are mostly about food? can you really have racers talk about anything other than food? like say hey yoo, i just noticed that new livery you put on it looks so nice or Nitrous mechanic? u going serious huh? or when u get caught by cops, did the cops give you a hard time?
2. The story is decent-ish, better than heat's story, honestly nfs games dont have good stories so yeah this game feels like a big step-up in terms of the story
3. Also, can you increase the amount of AI Opponents/Racers in the story mode? There are like 25 total AI opponents but most of the times you keep facing the same opponents again and again every day n night, maybe do it so on one day n night you face 6 out of 25 racers but some of them come out on each day or someone who comes to race daily and make the racers unique and have a personality

and yup, these are some point i have on my mind for now, the game is neither good nor bad, just an average game that needs some improvements, the game is indeed fun when it works i guess

For me, this game is a solid 8/10 when it works but it doesn't work/launch for me most of the times so that will put it at 6/10, so to round it up,
The score i give to this game is a solid: 7.2/10

Noticed this game bcuz of the souls-like tag but oh-boy the game actually is a hidden gem, everything from the controls to the graphics to the story-telling, everything is top-notch, the game doesn't get repetitive bcuz of the perfect difficulty and gameplay loop, 100% -ing the game was a fun experience, 10/10 would recommend to give it a try

This game doesnt launch for its sh*t life, also the anti-cheat is garbage

Great game, just need to lower the grind for the battle pass and wallah u get a fully perfect game, fun to play and will be a bit rewarding
