I liked Need For Speed 2015. I really enjoyed the ability to upgrade any car into something worth using, and the world was great to explore.

This game has neither of those.

Upgrades are random chance. Your choices are either scout out every store on the map for a "speed card" that you need, or take your chance literally gambling with the game's premium currency. The cars feel less like something I've tuned and perfected for the setup I want, and more of a build that I was forced into because some of the stats were higher than my previous, even if it doesn't drive the way I like to drive.

The world is terribly designed. The vast majority is a desert with few alternative paths to take, and bland areas to explore. The world feels much more empty than 2015, there aren't many cars driving around and it feels like there's less to do.

I'd pass on this game and just get a different Need For Speed game. If you have played all of them and want more driving, this is still passable. You can just do better.
