LIKE REALLY GOOD.

This feature is very small in the grand scheme of things, but once I found it I realized I was really gonna like this game. The high tuned male voice sounds like an extremely close match to my own without literally doing the voice acting myself.

I literally squealed and stimmed for like twenty seconds straight freaking out about it.

Little features like that go a loooong way in helping bring the player into the game.

Beyond that, the game feels great! The handling takes a little getting used to but it's better than it was in NFS: Heat, and the story is ACTUALLY good this time around. It's been a very long time since I've laughed with the game rather than laughing at it, the conflict so far feels genuine, and the characters are all really interesting.

I had a feeling this was gonna be a banger considering how close to greatness NFS: Heat was, but the sheer amount of personality it has is impossible to ignore. Even if you hate how the cars drive, you can get a lot of enjoyment out of this game for sure.
