Pros.
- Racing is fun and gameplay is enjoyable.
- Nice aesthetics and world, with enough variety between city and outdoors.
- Can be played both solo or multiplayer, even with random players roaming in the map.
- In some aspects it reminds of the old NFS Underground 2
- Plenty of cars to choose from, some of which are timeless classics.
- Customization is ok. You have plenty of options to apply decals so you can create your personal design that can be shared to other players. Upgrading the cars is pretty straightforward without unnecessary intricacies.

Neutral:
- The soundtrack is limited to just a couple of genres - hip hop and mediocre latino/pop something - which is a big downgrade from the older titles. Personally I don't like it, but overall it doesn't even fit the aesthetic of the game. I'm playing it with the music muted and with random sinthwave/80s playlists, and it's so much better this way.
- Some car brands from the older games are missing, such as Toyota and Peugeot.
- Story is dull and uninteresting, but it's a racing game after all.

Cons:
- The cops are utter crap. There's no way you can escape a heat 3 chase unless you have a top tier fully upgraded car, or are lucky with a ramp. And there are 2 more heat levels past that. It's really a cheap way to artificially slow down progress.
- Full price is way too high.

Overall I'm having fun despite the cops, but I'd recommend it only if it's on a big sale.
