I have to be honest, I went in fully expecting to hate this game, but it kinda works for me. PROS: First off, the gameplay is solid. Handling is LEAGUES better than it has been for the last 10 years, without the feeling of being stuck in glue from the self titled game (2015), and the slider for grip - drift actually making a difference. A bit of a learning curve, but a welcome one. I also love that the game works off a calendar system where you have 4 weeks to win. It kinda feels like a looming, overhanging threat and puts some pressure on you. A welcome change in my eyes. Car selection is... decent. I would like to see more variety instead of having 20 cars that are slightly interesting and half of them being a convertible version. I would never go for a convertible in these games, because it honestly doesn't make sense. This isn't Hot Pursuit high speed cruising on the coast of Miami, this is underground illegal street racing. Customization is really good as it has been for a whil...

I press play and some "ea app" comes up and wants login. Then the game comes finally up. After mandatory go through season passes and dismiss it, It has a store in it wanting more money after I already paid for the game. I got it on a sale for 5 bucks but it feels like a crappy mobile game. Meh artstyle too. Is this a modern take on like the graffity ish thing Most Wanted did? Yeah they did it well there, this is just a disgrace. I just want a good arcadey racing game not some full online crap. Just lemme play the game on my own terms on my own. I don't want your ea apps or 4 different eulas before I get in. Oh and don't immediately like ask for more money literally as soon as you can

Unbound is the most beautiful or maybe the second most beautiful NFS game ever made, maybe only behind NFS 2015, even if you don't like the driving effects or the cel-shading characters, it's still something artistically impressive and this game exudes style, however, i feel that in this case, Unbound exudes style without any substance. I feel that they changed the handling considerably from Heat/Payback which was a handling style that was being perfected over the years with Ghost games and dare i say they had reached perfection with Heat's handling, that's one of the reasons that people love that game so much even though it also has flaws, they had no excuse or reason to change the handling style for Unbound, but i don't blame criterion for this, i blame EA for shutting Ghost games just after they finally hitting big on a NFS game with heat, that's literally ignoring the wishes and the feedback of players, and was extremely unfair to that studio. Some people criticized and made fun ...

Horrible NFS/ Horrible Racing Game/ Criterion just give up! ->Denuvo....... -> The game keeps offering you the same races, the same tracks over and over and over and over and over and over again -> All the diversity and equity went to the NPCs because with a gigantic map you run the same 4 races over and over again -> Cops chase you after almost every race, every single race. They also like to focus you during races, no matter which place you are. They will keep hitting you with their car again and again.... -> So a blessed person at Criterion said, "Since the police only chase and beat the player, let's limit the number of times them can restart the race." So you pay 12,000 to enter a race, the police show up in the middle of the race, ignore everyone and keep beating you until you lose the race and guess what? You can't restart and you lost all the money, since at the end of the week you always need a huge amount of money... Amazing gameplay folks! and losing them even worse, since ...

THIS GAME WAS $5 I WOULD NOT TAKE IT IF IT WAS FREE! this game fucking sucks the story is realy cool and i like the cool artstyle but FUCK.. i havent been able to get first once! constant rubber banding, mix with the unresonably slick tires you get IF BOOST AND TURN AT ALL YOU GO INTO A DICH! i was on the easy'est setting i like a more relax racing experince. this games driving is like trying to control a FUCKING RETARD like ratatouille, NO i dont want my handbrake to be fully fucking slamed at 30mph. I HAVE A BAD LAPTOP ITS UNDER THE REC SPECS BUT THE ONLY THING THAT DIDENT WORK WAS THE POLICE, one minute there chasing you going 200mph in a car that CANNOT FUCKING DO THAT! but i digress its not a relistic game so! THE OTHER MINUTE THERE SOREING THROUGH THE SKY LIKE BATMANS TANK CAR! its a joke tbh -NOT like Darksouls 5.4/GIVE ME A REFUND

After i reinstalled the game , all the data including online data got erased

The Worst game ever produced. I don't wonder why it's always on a deal. Police ramming non-stop, only one set of NPC cars (C8, Urus, 911/Carrera etc.) for starter car? Idiotic, pathetic and without any improvement since NFS Heat. Ain't worth buying even if its 90% off.

spoiler alert incoming one of the most retarded stories i ever had to endure in my life. lets leave the story for a second the car play is mid at best hell indie jdm games are doing better job at drifting mechanics than this AAA one. on top of that the car speed is abysmally funny you look around you and its like a medium cruisin speed something like when you are talking to your girlfriend and having a nice chat while driving somewhere fun... but then you look at the speedometer is like 130-150km/h. now lets return to the story. spoiler alert ofc. there is this character called yaz and she betrays you hard. putting you in hard times that you cant recover from even after 2 years. steals your car you worked so hard on, steals the cars from the mechanic shop you worked at. anyways, the shop is failing n you get a job to drive this girl to a car meetup pretty normal just a taxi mission but who do you see there ? this black bitch YAZ and does your character go to confront her about it? ma...

Dead game after end of live service. Asian servers are dead, and I was in only for the mp.

Need for Speed Unbound brings a fresh, vibrant take to the street racing genre with its unique art style blending realistic graphics and stylized graffiti-inspired visuals. The open-world city feels alive, packed with diverse races, events, and hidden secrets to discover. The driving mechanics strike a nice balance between arcade fun and a bit of realism, offering tight controls and thrilling high-speed chases. Customization options are extensive, letting you personalize your cars with a huge variety of visual and performance upgrades. The story is straightforward but enjoyable, and the soundtrack perfectly complements the game’s energetic vibe. While the game shines in single-player mode, the multiplayer experience still feels a bit bare-bones and could use more content.
