Need for Speed Unbound to get new content until December
Despite a lukewarm reception in December 2022, Need for Speed Unbound is still alive! So much so that Criterion Games plans to roll out additional content throughout the year.
The British studio has unveiled its roadmap for 2024. Events, PvP playlists, challenges and progression improvements are all…

A new Need for Speed may already be in development
Despite a fairly positive critical reception, Need for Speed Unbound release went relatively unnoticed last November. Nevertheless, this doesn't seem to have discouraged Criterion Games, who may have already moved on to the sequel.

Horrible game.
They stripped everything.
I would pay 15 euros for a game like this.
50 is way to much.
Classes have no sense whatsoever. You always need to do the highest class race that gives us the most amount of money because if not, you just raise your pursuit level for nothing.
When you give NOS, everyone gives NOS to their cars..... EVERYONE. Even cops. This is ridiculous.

I dont know the Cop system is just so bad, no fun at all. the cops are everywhere cant escape. i'm in a chase for like 2 hours now and can't continue with the story. it's so boring. what a sh*t game. Heat is way better
2023-01-27T12:57:55-0500
The game itself is no different than Heat. Sure We can have grip builds now but it doesn't even come close to other racing games. I will start with the main points:
- Story: I have the feeling when they decided to start this story mode, they took a cliche story of betrayal and gave a little to no surprise twist to make it interesting. The characters are really bland, even your "rivals" which doesn't even feel they are actually your rivals but a bunch of friend who decided to race each other. Another downside is the tone of each character. Bland, cringe and sometimes very childish. That does not restrict only to the characters but for the police as well. They way the game deceits how cops behave during the day and night is stupid. During the day they behave like normal cops usually do when giving comms. And then during the night they sound like a bunch of teenagers trying to go after the candy and see who wins. Like, hello? How am I supposed to feel like I am being chased by an actual cop if they behave like teens? Huge let down. The story did not surprise me at all or gave me the feeling like i wanted to replay the game like previous games. The person who betrays you behaves super toxic and gaslights you but apparently just because she is your friend your character decides is totally alright to forgive her because... idk...
- Driving:
This is where I get mixed feelings. One it is particually satisfactory to go back into NFS and run blasting through traffic and go crazy. But when it comes to drifting it is a huge let down. I say that because the way your car loses so much power and momentum while drifting is disgusting. It does not feel like you are drifting but that you swing your car to the side and its dragging a 2ton anchor behind you. It also feels like a Russian roulette, sometimes it works nicely and other doesn't. What about rally races? None. So tell me NFS, why in the hell there is an option for off road tires and suspension if we barely have any races off road?
- World: The map is nice and well done but the problem is that I barely know sometimes where I am driving, it feels like some areas are repetitive, thinking that I am on north of the map but apparently im on the west because world feels very similar. It is an interesting map but i feel that is much smaller than it shows.
- Cars: Many customization (really?) not really, sometimes you feel that some cars have more customization than others and that's totally true. What about the new effects? Well thats really up to you, I personally have no problem with it but Id wish there was an option to turn it off.
- Online: Welcome to Burnout. Where people might race you or kill you. Have fun or not.
- Graphics: Good graphics, the world looks beautiful and the cars too. I have experienced some porting issues, like roads textures not loading properly or even the road 100m away from me constantly loading new textures is very discomforting and unpleasant to the eyes, im not saying that because I have a budget PC. No, I have a 3070Ti and Ryzen 9 5900x. Some other thing is that I personally hate is chromatic aberration and you cannot disable this option in the game, it is very annoying having the feeling you are watching a 3D film in the cinema without the glasses. Cmon EA, stop forcing sh!t on us, if you dont fix it you know the modders will.
- Soundtrack: Turn that off and listen to your own playlist, trust me, its bad.
Overall i evaluate this game a 4/10. it becomes very boring and limiting regarding races. Also very pricey. Many people say this NFS is the best in the last decade but its like comparing horseshit to bullshit.

This game can be voted the most failed game of the year. I haven't seen anything positive in this game, EA Games should think twice before a release like this and before they destroy a legend like this. They could at least make an option for disabled animations, most of us don't agree to play games with cartoons and we were expecting something more realistic, but EA Games has become such a disappointment to most of us.
- Full Animation
- Same story like previous game from the series
- Fake sounds

Good graphic,music and gamplay it need internet in the sngleplayer but just for the cloud it's a good racing game with a lot of fun,achivements and secrets.
Caracthers as comics aspect is really cool and the voicelines sometimes are so funny.
