Brilliant Fast and Furious-esque storyline
Stunning open world
Great selection of races and side content
White-knuckle racing still feels as tight as ever
Cinematic camera and visual effects sell over-the-top action
Solid
Simple upgrade paths matches game's tone
Scavenging parts to soup up your ride adds a fun twist
Need for Speed Payback runs as expected from a game on the Frostbite engine: it runs relatively well on more low-end hardware, while it can also absolutely make faster components sweat a lot on higher quality settings. Although we saw Frostbite with a DX1...

Brilliant Fast and Furious-esque storyline, Stunning open world, Great selection of races and side content
Drag questline hits a difficulty curve, Overcomplicated AI, Bit of a grind
Need for Speed Payback successfully returns to its Fast and Furious roots with aplomb, but a focus on the grind and a beautiful but empty world means it ultimately falls short of greatness...

Story vacilates between bad and so-bad-it's-good, Large map with plenty of room for high speeds and stunts
The worst loot box implementation yet, Loot boxes completely ruined Need for Speed's car performance customization in the process, Don't want to buy loot boxes? Get ready to grind old races for hours every time you obtain a new car
You know what makes me so mad? I want to like Need for Speed: Payback. Go back and read my review of last year's live-action Need for Speed. Sure, we gave it a 3/5, but you know what? That review was peppered with a lot of praise. It was by no means a goo...
