“This explosive adventure is filled with intense heist missions, high stakes car battles, epic cop pursuits and jaw dropping set pieces. It’s blockbuster gameplay never before seen from the series, fueled by a gripping story of betrayal and revenge. With Need for Speed: Payback, it’s no longer just about being the first to cross the finish line or racing to prove to be the best, it’s about building the perfect ride, getting behind the wheel and playing out an action driving fantasy.
Set in the underworld of Fortune Valley, players will drive as three distinct characters reunited by a quest for vengeance against The House, a nefarious cartel that rules the city’s casinos, criminals and cops. They will take on a variety of challenges and events as Tyler, the Racer; Mac, the Showman; and Jess, the Wheelman to earn the respect of the underground. Featuring the deepest customization from the series, players can truly craft a personalized and unique ride, or spend hours finding and tuning an abandoned derelict into a supercar. They can then push their cars to the limit and raise the stakes by betting on their own performance, where they can either multiply their winnings or risk losing it all.”

Need for Speed: PayBack was on ‘ok’ game as a standalone. However, if seen in the context of the previous instalments, it does not hold a candle to them. This game cut a lot of corners when it came to animations i.e. cutscenes. Choosing to simply have two cars stand next to each other and have the voice actors speak. Payback had so much potential but the purposeful cuts in the cutscenes really held them back. On top of that, the dev’s decision to remove the classical garages where you could upgrade your car for loot boxes was a terrible idea. However, I did like the addition of a different type of cars instead of having only one car which can do everything. But the loot boxes and speed cards really just took a lot away from the game. I know there is going to be a sequel please improve upon your mistakes.
Nice graphical version, but yet nothing new to introduce to players.

This game was kind of a dissapoitment. Obviously, the Need for Speed series as we all used to love it a few years back is gone forever. This isn’t NFS anymore. It has a story that would be bad even for Fast and Furious, cutscenes with terrible lip syncing and there’s always someone talking during races. But there are few good things too. The graphics for example are very good and I also enjoyed tunning my cars. And I was enjoying the races as well, even though the talking was annoying me.
