At first its ok, the campaign, Thr story mode and character build is ok, and sway like it was on a good sailboat with nice good wind breeze
Moving on, you'll face a threat that wont let you win no matter how hard you try to beat. The difficulty is just going an getting insane.
The pros:
Its the latest nfs series, good graphic vibe with awesome attention to small detail spark every time you jump slide, drift and boost
The cons:
You think you fight with a generous ai that give you the chance to learn to understand how to defeat them the quickest esiest mode. Actually, No, its frustrating, the easiest mode is the hardest on nfs heat.
If you think you love nfs, you should thiNk twice. Hard mode ia just crazy as you imagine. The 1st dude bot letting you go, the pokice chase is like no ordinary bust. Its just nfs high stake with extra steroids
Casual player might feel terrible driving experience, but for pro player, their nerve is just challenged till the end of the finish line.
Its fun but sweat to the bone.
Did i recomend this game, well yeah if its on summer sale

EA Support is just as bad as everyone says (lost 100+ hours of NFS Unbound save) I will not recommend this game even if it was my favorite game after all because of EA.
I always heard EA Support was bad, but I thought maybe they can't be that bad.
Well, after losing my NFS Unbound save file, I now know - it's actually worse.
I lost my licensed copy of NFS Unbound save data after 100+ hours of gameplay.
Guess what caused it? The EA Launcher itself, which kept crashing so I had to uninstall and reinstall it. Their app - their fault.
When I contacted support, hoping they could help (because it’s an online-focused game after all), they gave me the most irrelevant advice possible:
Exclude the game .exe from Windows Defender.
Add it to the firewall whitelist.
Repair the game files.
Reinstall the whole game.
Like... seriously? I already tried all that myself or knew it wouldn't help - my save was simply gone. Still, I tried everything they asked, just to be fair.
Of course, none of it worked. Because the real problem was that EA cloud saves failed - and they had no way to recover it.
Then I literally pleaded with them to give me at least the blacklisted cars I unlocked after grinding 100+ hours. They refused.
I asked, "Okay, at least give me some extra in-game cash so I can rebuild my collection." They refused again.
I even asked for any small compensation (like a gift card, another EA game, anything) - refused.
You know what they offered me?
A whopping 12,500 bank in-game (in a game where cars cost 100K+).
It was honestly humiliating.
So now I'm sitting here with a blank save, 100+ hours wasted, and zero help.
And this from a company that supposedly focuses on "live service online experiences" and "player satisfaction".
TL;DR: EA Support is just as trash as people say. If you lose anything, you're on your own. Cloud saves? A joke.
Support? A bigger joke.
Lesson learned: Never trust EA to have your back.
Thanks for nothing, EA.

The story was cookie cutter but the game looks great, the cars are good, the tuning you can do is awesome and I will definitely play DLC or whatever else they have. Oh and the soundtrack as everybody else says, is crap.

Honestly the best NFS online experience but not a great single player game. The story mode itself is painfully average compared to Heat. Been playing since release on EA App but rebought it on Steam as I was missing dlc. I have to give them credit though the game got updated a tonne at least for online so it's worth it for that alone. I enjoyed it on release and with the extra content they've added since then it's an easy recommend especially for the sale price it usually goes for.

Many people have different opinions about this game. For me, NFS Unbound wasn't the best but wasn't the worst as well. I loved the game because multiplayer was so much easier to access than NFS Heat, and I genuinely liked the game. This game does have some lag issues; apart from that, it's fine. The lag only happened when you were doing an activity or collecting a collectible. The lag was only for 2 seconds. I didn't mind it. The game was overall good. I would recommend to play this game. 8/10

Need for Speed Unbound could've been called Heat 2 and nobody would have questioned it. Apart from the flashy effects they are basically the same games. Need for Speed Unbound just like Heat isn't a bad but average. It keeps you busy for a while but gets repetitive and turns into a chore fest very quickly.
The world is massive yet lacks points of interest. Sure there are collectibles and optional missions scattered all across the map but i bet 90% of the people will give them a try once then forget about it. Despite the vast size of the map, it makes you race through the same spots thousands of times rather than utilizing said map.
It has hundreds of cars but the campaign forces you to stick with just a couple of them because you will be short of cash throughout the game. Neither upgrading nor modifying your cars feel satisfying.
Unbound feels soulless, empty and shallow just like heat. Its what corporate people think we want from a NFS game. It carries all the terrible AAA tropes for absolutely no reason such as a battlepass.
If you are ok with an average time waster, Unbound is ok at that. But if you want a unique, creative and fresh arcade racer look as far away as you can from the newer NFS games.

Is this a great game? No.
Is it fun? Sure.
I play these games to feel cool while driving and listening to good music. The ingame music gets repetetive quickly but thats not a big issue. The gameplay is fun, its challenging, the cops are challenging, theres nice risk reward.
70€ is waaaayyy too much. 20€ does it justice imo
User: 76561198816354520
its okay, but the music is....................................... just bring your own music at that point, listen to decadence or something
