Need for Speed: Heat clearly shows why the series needs a serious stop to reorganise itself.

Need for Speed Heat puts the franchise back on the right track, but the various bugs and dull story means the series is still behind the pack.
Need For Speed Heat is a fun racing game that is still held back by a weak, multiplayer, story, and lack of event variety.
An enjoyable ride with enough diversity but this is still a series looking to reclaim its identity. The best NFS this generation but there is still room for improvement.

Heat is the best Need for Speed for years, motivates and is a tuning monster - but not in a league with the competition.

It’s time for a revolution. Need for Speed: Heat is definitely the best game in the current-gen series, but that’s nothing to brag about. This actually should have been the first NFS for the 8th generation of consoles – then, perhaps, we would still have remembered it as something special. But at this point, the game basically just goes through the motions. Not great, not terrible.

Need For Speed Heat does a lot of things right, and delivers an aesthetically beautiful and fun experience. The only major issue is that experience will vary greatly in time depending on the individual. For those who love the series, this is an obvious game to add to the rotation. For those who are merely interested in seeing what's here, it might be wise to try the 10-hour trial available through EA Access before you jump in with both feet.
Need for Speed's latest instalment is one of its better efforts in recent years.
This double downs if you’re a fan of the aforementioned ‘Fast & Furious’ films, but if you’re not, skip the dialogue and enjoying the race like its 2005 again.
Even though it does something wrong for everything it does right; Need for Speed: Heat is still an enjoyable experience that tries to present everything we love about this series.

It's clear that Ghost Games has taken a touch of Paradise and applied it to Heat, resulting in a thrilling and beautiful racing game that's bursting with things to do. Though their ambition was bold, they strayed too far from comfort in putting Heat together. When measured up against its own franchise, Heat does a lot to move the series in the right direction and it's a clear, marked improvement over Payback.
Need for Speed Heat manages to successfully mix the game’s modern formula with the glory days to deliver the best Need for Speed experience in years
Need for Speed: Heat plays it safe in many regards. On the one hand, it tries to distance itself from Payback. And on the other, it is a mesh of carefully put together mechanics from previous games – wrapped in the colors of South Beach. This is not the next step in the franchise, but rather a glorious return to form after taking a hit. It combines the best parts of games such as Most Wanted and Underground. The game itself is an excellent starting point for anyone every curious about the world of Need for Speed. The simplified controls make maneuvering a blast. And keeping the option open to revert back to older controls for series veterans is much appreciated. I highly recommend this game for players of various skill ratings.
Need for Speed Heat is definitely a lot of fun, the night life is incredible and I certainly enjoy the sense of progression in regards to the vehicles. That being said, there are some issues and some elements of play that could be expanded upon.
Need for Speed Heat is a full open world racing game. It does just about everything the competition offers, but without thinking outside the box. Less generalist than Gran Turismo or Forza Horizon, which he comes closest, he is far from equal. However, it offers a good alternative to change the mood. Racing games in open world are no longer jostling at the gate anyway.

It wouldn't be totally fair to call Need for Speed Heat a bad game, but given the exciting high-speed material it's defined by, it is a disappointingly boring one. Small blessings like the lack of over-aggressive microtransactions and an incredibly in-depth car customization suite can't make up for gameplay and progression loops which, at best, feel routine and archaic, and at worst frustrating and obtuse.
Need for Speed Heat is the best Need for Speed game in the 8th generation of video games. Heat offers great diversity in game modes and car customization is crafted perfectly in this game. of course, some bugs and lack of good stories are present, but still Heat is a very fun game to play.

Need for Speed: Heat can be a ton of fun but is held back by incredibly questionable AI. The vehicle customisation and tuning is incredible and the games has plenty of content to keep you racing for weeks. The story feels a little silly but the racing itself is a joy to play. This is the course-correction the series so desperately needed, and I can't wait to see Ghost Games build on this solid foundation for their next entry.
