Forced EA launcher is unecessary bloat and not welcome. This is a 6 year old remaster of an even older game... just let me launch this offline without having to install a third party launcher which requires an initial online log in. I doubt this is stopping piracy and just pisses off people who have paid for the game. Works on steam deck but save corrupted after a single crash which forced me to fully reset the game - I've now lost all my progress. Can't recommend this.

Consequences of diving too deep into the arcade genre.

Need for Speed™ Hot Pursuit Remastered plays more like an arcade racing game than any other NFS title. Every race rewards medals, even races against NPCs. Even though users classify it as an open-world driving game, there are no open-world elements except that it lets you free drive around the map. Roads are wide with long straights and forgiving curves. There's a very low chance to crash, and the "sliding" driving helps to achieve that. To finish races, you only have to accelerate and use nitro anytime you can and occasionally tap the brake to perform turns.

It's an unpolished game with underwhelming features. The graphics should be better, and the scenery plays too safe, becoming boring and repetitive very early. The soundtrack choice is questionable at most, giving mixed feelings. Driving feels like I'm playing Asphalt. Impact is weird.

Menus and UI are rough. Progressing and unlocking the system are not engaging at all. Reused concept: Racers vs. Cops. Performance is bad, and it's locked to 60 FPS.

Maybe it just didn't play like I expected, but even then it would have been a lesser product.

极品飞车热力追踪，我在Steam、PS都买了一份，而且都通关了。而且没有买其他的赛车游戏（GTA5不算哈）。最吸引我的是这版本的极品飞车没有城市道路，我喜欢风景靓丽天广地阔的郊外景色。游戏的速度感很强，操控也是非常顺手。唯一令人觉得遗憾的是你的电脑对手，电脑在你的视线之外永远是不会出错的，他们会完美的避开任何一个路障。那只好磨练自己的技术了，只有让自己的技术更加熟练才能跑赢你的电脑对手。像我一样不喜欢城市道路的赛车玩家，推荐试试。
