Need for Speed Heat Review | The pressure’s high, just to stay alive

By Alex Santa Maria

Earlier this month, a new Need for Speed hit major consoles and PC platforms. It’s alright if you didn’t notice, EA seems less than enthusiastic about promoting the game.

  • Arcade racing remains competent and enjoyable.
  • Lots of customization options and car variety.
  • More games should have flamingo collectibles.
  • Pointless online functionality that hurts more than helps.
  • Threadbare story with laughable characterizations.
  • Lack of microtransactions didn't remove the grind.
