... But these elements do not fit together and the game world, with a "realistic" design
... But this is a different save than the single player.
Unbalanced difficulty between opposing riders and police
Discreet narration. Keeps the topos of previous chapters

Visually stunning, prettiest NFS game to date
Smooth performance, extremely well-optimized
Quick, fun races with plenty to choose from
Solid assortment of vehicles & customization options
Decent replayability, online mode

Unnecessary overabundance of police
Generic, lackluster story
Cringey "how do you do, fellow kids?" type dialogue
Slow, grindy cash-based progression
Vehicle handling still feels a bit lacking

Annoying AI
Driving physics and handling don't feel good
New cel-shaded art style clashes with the realistic cars
Expensive customization doesn't transfer to online multiplayer modes

The overlaid graphics are unique and make the game feel more alive and interesting
There's songs with RTJ and Danny Brown on them
While the story is predictable, it's at least slightly better than Heat's super cliché All Cops Are Bastards story

There's a woman doing a Pixies cover who is so bad it should be illegal in most countries
Driving never feels intuative, always feels slightly over or under tuned
The map is decent sized but so generic that it's hard to remember where you've already been
There are better older racers that utilize the dualsense features better
It's $70, and I couldn't recommend anyone spend more than $20 on this in good faith

Great looking graphics. Beautiful car models. Runs really smooth. Good sound.
Horrid story. Lazy writing. Bad voice acting. Weird Crazy Taxi-like physics. Loads of grinding. Sub-par online MP.

Refined handling system enhances all playstyles
Lots of vehicular customization
Lots of vehicular customization
The open world is devoid of fun
Massively clashing art style is more jarring than interesting
Ridiculously overpowered early game AI makes the experience more of a grind than an enjoyable arcade racer
Forgettable story with dreadful dialogue

Many customizations and upgrades, good fleet
Excellent Italian dubbing, adds value to the story

Mag Jeux High-TechVisually and technically very successful
The soundtrack and sound effects
The impression of speeds, the jumps, the adrenaline!
The I. A, finally worthy of the name!
Getting started, fast, intuitive and fun
Beautiful lifespan
Visual and mechanical tuning of cars
An NFS that goes beyond (certain) standards

Money does not fall from the sky, we will have to work!
The visual of the characters/protagonists, too "cartoon" for us
Some collision bugs
