Release Date: December 2, 2022
Need for Speed 2021 is the next instalment of the well-known series of racing games from Electronic Arts. Criterion Games studio is responsible for developing the game.
NFS Unbound is the next installment in the popular series of arcade racing games. It was developed by Criterion Games (known for Burnout Paradise Remastered). It was released by Electronic Arts.
The story presented in NFS Unbound focuses on the fate of two friends. One day they are separated as a result of a robbery at a garage and the theft of a valuable car located there. Our hero undertakes an attempt to recover the vehicle, and in order to achieve this, he must take part in a series of street races.
Need for Speed Unbound resemble what we know from previous installments of the series. All the fun focuses on illegal street racing. Of course, everything has been constructed to look as impressive as possible.
There were also police chases - the greater our success in racing, the greater the interest of law enforcement officers. This time, this aspect has been expanded, and the game features a variety of chase units; avoiding getting caught requires adjusting to the type of vehicles chasing us.
The developers have improved the physical engine, which translates into a better driving experience than in previous installments of the series. The focus here is on a level of complexity similar to what we might associate with simulators. The sensitivity of the controls has also been increased, which translates into better control over the cars.
In Need for Speed Unbound, we have to pay to participate in subsequent races. So if you lose, you will lose the invested cash. In addition, it is possible to place bets.
NFS Unbound offers more than 150 car models from manufacturers such as Porsche, Aston Martin, Lamborghini and Ford. At the same time, the title lacks vehicles from Toyota and Audi. The full list of vehicles available at launch can be found here.
NFS Unbound features unique graphics that interweave realistic and cartoonish elements inspired by street art.

One of the oldest and most popular racing game series in the history of the industry. Need for Speed is one of the most valuable brands in Electronic Arts' portfolio, with the US company's in-house development studios, such as EA Black Box, EA Gothenburg, and Criterion Games, usually responsible for its subsequent installments. The series started in 1994 with The Need for Speed, designed for fifth-generation consoles (3DO, PlayStation, Sega Saturn) and PC.

We're slowly wrapping this year up, how time flies! December will be a decent ending of a decent year in of releases, and while there aren't any grand smash-hits inbound, it will be a satisfying conclusion to 2022!
Fans of the Need for Speed series won't see a new installment for a long time. Criterion studio is now fully focused on Battlefield 7.

It's quite obvious that NFS lost its way somehow. It had to concede to Forza Horizon as the kind of arcade racing, but all is not lost for the venerable franchise. Here's my idea for the perfect Need for Speed.

Metro GameCentral: 6 / 10
The best Need For Speed in a decade – but that says far more about the moribund state of the franchise than it does this workmanlike new entry.
GamesRadar+: 4 / 5 by Justin Towell
At 4K/60, Need for Speed Unbound is a clear showcase for the new generation of consoles"
TheGamer: 4 / 5 by George Foster
Beyond its unique art style, Need for Speed Unbound doesn’t do anything to reinvent the steering wheel, but it doesn’t need to. This is Need for Speed, so you know what you’re here for - fast races, cop chases, and more cars than you know what to do with. Unbound is all of that packaged in the series’ most stylish entry to date.

In conclusion, while *Need for Speed? Unbound* has its share of visual flair and customization options that appeal to players, it also faces criticism for its grindy mechanics, police interactions, and story elements. The game appears to be more enjoyable when purchased at a discounted price, and its online mode has potential for fun and engagement.
