3 times I've tried playing this game, 3 times I have no idea what am I supposed to do. It doesn't tell you how to farm, how to sell things, how to level up your skills. You just walk aimlessly around the map doing absolutely nothing. Waste of time.

After my last NFS played being Most Wanted (2005+2012) I've searched for the best title from the latest releases. According to Steam reviews this should be the best one out of the last 5-6.

This game SUCKS! Like big time. I don't think I've ever driven a more unrealistic driving sim game ever.
-DRIVING is super-duper unrealistic. You can stop a car going at 350 km/h by just hand-braking and hard turning your car on the opposite direction, in like 2 seconds. The drifting itself is really bad. You don't actually "drift" you "skid" your car a bit in the opposite direction to look cool. Nothing else.
-GRAPHICS are very very bad. (Playing FullHD Ultra settings with everything on. Except for the car, literally everything looks like a game from PS3.
-MUSIC is good. I really enjoy it, but is limited to like 10-15 tracks so, after a few hours of gameplay you end up listening to the same damn sons non-stop. At some point I've muted the music.
-COP CHASES are extremely infuriating. I drive a 1000 hp overly-modified street racing vehicle, worth over 1 mil $. You know that 400 hp dodge challenger chasing you? Well he can easily outrun you, ram into you, outpace you even with fully engaged NOS. He can beat your a$$ on the streets, in the mud, in the fields, on the grass. It doesn't matter if your vehicle is made for offroading, seems like those cars are god-driven.
-THE STORY is meh. I've lost interest after 2 hours. I really don't care much about these characters.

I will finish this game for the sake of it, and I won't touch another new NFS title in the near future.

Bought it for the campaigns, the missions on hard are close to impossible. The units are not balanced at all, once the AI steamrolls Centurions, there is literally not a single unit in this game that can stop them. Archers are almost useless, the AI is super bad in every single mission, they just build bases and patrol with a few units.

I like a fair challenge in all of my games, that's why I've played all AOE2 DE campaigns on hard, but here, they should relabel it as "impossible".

It's a fun game, but has a lot of problems. If you catch it on sale, it's a pretty cool experience overall.
But, for a fully released game:
-it's scuffed as ♥♥♥♥
-full of bugs, I mean you get stuck on literally anything, NPCs get stuck, cars get stuck, hitting an item on the ground at an angle, sends them at MACH 5 speed in the atmosphere.
-at the release of airstrip DLC, all my in-game achievements got reset and I got bombarded with notifications the whole game.
-the game is incredibly badly optimised. It goes from 60 to 200 fps constantly.
-why bother adding decorations? If you place 20-30 decorations on your fully upgraded gas station, the game is barely playable.
-after mid-game (popularity 6-7) the game gets kind of grindy. You really need to put in those hours to afford things. Even though it's kind of stupid, as having employees and automation for some modules should mean an easier experience, but no.
-the mini-game with RC Car describes perfectly the state of the game. Try going through both courses without losing your minds, I dare you!


Overall I've enjoyed it, even though it was a pain in the ass from time to time. Buy it on sale.

So crazy how you can be deceived by positive ratings. This game will frustrate you in the first 30 minutes.

-Bought it to play with a friend, so the normal thing to do, is go under the "CO-OP" tab and invite someone in your lobby, right? Well NO, you need to start a game under SOLO tab, and AFTER you have landed, you can invite someone from Steam Overlay.

-The camera movement is atrocious. The only way to look around is by holding Right-Click. You think there is a way to lock your camera to the orientation of your character? NO! If you look north and start moving south, the camera doesn't move with you, unless you move it with Right Click. So what's the point of this incredibly retarded camera? No one knows, as moving objects around is also stupid, because you need to also move the camera every time you do a simple task.

-The game's soundtrack is so annoying, I've turned it off in the first 5 minutes.

How am I supposed to enjoy your stupid game, when every single thing is meant to annoy you, right from the start? After 30 min I couldn't care less about exploring and doing anything anymore, as the camera movement made me Alt+F4 and refund it without a second thought.

What a waste of time.

Full of bugs
AI/Enemies are super dumb
The combat itself is scuffed af
Wait 1-2 years of updates and maybe it will be fun to play

Much more difficult than the previous 2. If you are a completionist going for all gold, get ready for a ride

These factions are just bad and so tedious to play with. Elephants are super useless overall in this game as a trash unit as halberders can sh1t on them easily. Sorry but these civs are a big let-down compared to those from the other dlcs

Yeah you need to burn in hell for eternity for this

Crashes often
Achievements are sooo ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ to do
Extremely grindy if you want 100%
Gets repetitive fast
