Need for Speed™ Heat Reviews

the "laggy cutscene" is this something about nvidia drivers? or windows 11? so many people having same problem w me for a long time.. weirdly enough cpu and gpu usage can spike to 99% for long period of time so weird i only just want this game works fine but it isnt btw idk why the graphics looks somewhat outdated and kinda jaggies/pixelated i play on ultra 2k monitor btw maybe thats the problem like i should play on 1080p monitor or smaller inch monitor idk

Don't buy this game, just pirate it! ♥♥♥♥ EA and their trash launcher.

Great game Good graphics Easy and fun for chill people and game nigts

My cpu spikes to over 90 degrees C while playing this game. Also the graphics arent that good.

Don't buy this game. EA is terrible and won't launch the game. Plus, why do I need to be connected to the internet to play a solo game?

The game’s a blast, classic Need for Speed vibes. It’s not the best in the series, but it’s solid all around. The graphics are slick, and the cars look super detailed. Gameplay feels good, and the events are balanced. The story’s pretty light, but at least it’s not overly wordy. There are two significant downsides, though: the cutscenes were stuttering like hell on my modern PC, no matter what I tried, borderless mode, no overlays, FPS caps, you name it. And the cops are way too powerful at night (I played on Medium difficulty), until you get a car over 350. It’s really frustrating when you get busted almost every time, and it just feels like a waste of time. If you can get over these 2 things, I recommend to any NFS fan or simply to arcade racing lovers.

Not gonna say it's a masterpiece, but the day/night gimmick is incredible. I prefer Need for Speed: Carbon. I know, kind of weird. Anyhow it ain't about Carbon. Heat is INSANELY GOOD, the customization is up there. The engines sounds lovely and the mufflers, god the mufflers. It makes me wanna go rapapapapapa outside

the world feels so dead and boring i couldn't bare the game for 2 hours, why did i even waste my money on this

this game is fun for me and the car gameplay i think is realistic

The Ending was so sudden that it left me a bit shocked and unsatisfied. But despite that, story doesn't really matter much to me in this game, altho it could've been done a lot better and more intense. Some dialogue also a bit cringy to me. Facial expression is a bit scary at time. All of that doesn't deter the fact that this game is so much fun to play, and that's what really matter to this game. The driving and racing mechanic is smooth for an arcade game. At first i didn't like it, since i was transitioned from a semi-realistic forza horizon 4 to fully arcade-y heat. But the more i understand and learned it, it became a blast. It's so fun to pulled of smooth turning. There are so much races to do in the game and each feels unique. It also supported with the world being so fun to explore, even tho i haven't explored the off-road area much. The graphic looks fantastic, so eyecatching and satisfying. The car detail look sleek and shiny. The physic is hilarious tho, because we can almost crash into every object, even some big trees, so the game is less punishing. The drift is a lot easier than what i've experienced in forza horizon. My favorite event is sprint race, compared to a circuit one. There are also difficulty you can choose. The only thing that i probably didn't like much is the soundtrack selection could've been better. And also i've spoiled with all the collectibles because i have the key maps dlc, that i forgot its not part of the game, and i just forgot to turn it off or uninstall it everytime. The world feels like lack of variety. and the city part looks too similar to the other. I still have to try all the cars and get to the maximum reputation (level). As for now, this game is a 9/10. Feels like a sweet spot to put it even higher.
