I’d not played a NFS game since the original Underground but I had a decent time with Unbound.
The chase mechanics were often annoying and I 100% agree that the tone felt off in a very ‘corpo suits pretending to be cool’ kind of way, but I thought the visuals were cool and the soundtrack introduced me to some great new music.
I didn’t actually finish the game in the end, but I mostly enjoyed the time I spent. Solid 7.5 out of 10 for me.
