After 2 hours of playtime I decided that this game is not worth to waste my time. I did not having fun at all. (Yes I past the prologue. No I did not finished the game, & no I don't want to grind)

Pros:

- The vibe of the city. This game has pedestrian like Midnight Club
- The customization especially if you're into bodykits, stance guy, liberty walk etc"
- Day & night
- The graphics
- The story. For me they're somewhat ok-ish.

Cons:

- The crash physics. OH MY ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ GOD they're terrible. Sometimes my wheels built like a thin paper. They just flip after I traded paint with npc's vehicle or after drift tap the concrete walls, but sometimes they can tank police car like a Rhino from GTA when after head 2 head collision. They're inconsistent. And I know that some objects is indestructible, but ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ I cannot distinguish which fence, chain link fences or trees that can be destroyed or not. Like, is this slightly tall fence will flip my car? I guess I'll have to try. I assumed they didn't fully polish/ even finished the physics yet but hey it's 2023 a lot of half assed game being sold for a full price.

- Assumed you flip on your first turn or you want clean race but ran into npc's and you want to restart the whole race. Guess what? The game's limit your retries like WHAT THE ♥♥♥♥? Do not tell me how I race, man. I mean, yes mindlessly restarting the same event is pointless but I don't want to finished a race when I'm in pressure of running out of restart. I just want to have silly goofy fun, man. And what if you ran out of retries? Well, I guess you're done because the game will Thanos snaps you to first week and deletes your whole progress, the day & night race progress. Thx Thanos.

- (This could be subjective) The wheels handles like a truck simulator. I just want to normally turn on the corner, but instead they sometimes drift and sometimes they're not drift and sometimes they just kabedonned me into the wall after I turn (I know there are setting in garage to turn on drift or not) but it's frustrating.

- The controls. I play this game with M&K (My fault I know) but you know it's nice when you can integrates mouse & keyboard into the game? Like, when I press open the map and they says "Press "F" & "R" to zoom" BRO WHAT THE HECCC?????????? I have working mouse, a gaming mouse, a nice one (Joke btw). Why I cannot use my mouse wheel to scroll up & down?? Why I cannot navigate the main menu with my cursor??? I don't have controller (yet) & steering wheel but what is this discrimination against M&K racing gamers???

- The police. OH MY GOD THEY'RE EVERYWHERE (esp during night) What tf am I, an illegal street racer or billionaire tax evader? I guess I'll never know because they spawn like MaxTac from Cyberpunk just ready to bust my butt up like broooo I'm not even criminal irl and this game make me don't want to commit crimes.

- (Biased cause I play FH 4) Sometimes I cannot see where am I going (The right direction or not), because I have to constantly glances at the mini map. My eyes are focused on the road, but this game doesn't allow me. This game doesn't have visible GPS route like in FH4, but if you're ok with that then I guess it's ok.

- Boring content. Race: Circuit, Sprint, Drift, Run from Popo. Where drag race? No off road races (Tolerable, I guess). Where system like blacklist from NFS MW 2005? Where elimination? (exclusive for qualifiers cmiiw)

End note

FH need competitors but I feel like this game is just missed opportunity, better luck next NFS.

Its not your fault for playing this game on mouse keyboard, its arcade game. I own NFS Heat and will recommend you to try that and I agree with you, I was changing lanes and couldnt guess if it will be a solid fence wall or it will be fine. Game seems more complicated with HUD and blurry. I also have Crew 2 and in my view Crew and Heat are both better games than this.
