Most of the characters are forgettable, except the main four. Need for Speed Unbound had me blasting through the fictional city of Lakeshore while playing through a narrative that tells the tale of a dysfunctional family whose only reason for existence is their love for cars, and street racing, but it somewhat manages to keep them together. Platform(s): PC (reviewed), PS5, Xbox Series X|SĪh, yes, we’re finally back with some damned fun street racing with the 25th installment of the Need for Speed license, and that made me very happy. So back into the streets, I went, but I was happy I did. We’re talking about the developer who created one of my favorite racing games ever, and their NFS entries weren’t bad, either. However, when it was also revealed that Criterion would helm this release, I started to change my tune.


The last few games were lukewarm at best, and there were better games to play at the time. When EA revealed it was working on another title in the series, Need for Speed Unbound, I wasn’t sure what to think. It’s been a few years since we’ve had the pleasure of playing a Need for Speed game, and a good one at that.
