I tried to be positive and open mind about this game, but tragically it looks like another shitty NFS game that tries to be Underground without being officially an Underground game series. Graphics are fine, the cel shaded graphics look neat, however, the issue is that mixing art styles end up on clashing and are rather very distracting.
The animated special effects are something I just can't stand and hopefully they can be turned off. Not that it helps much since the rest of the game doesn't look all that fun and enjoyable, but hey, maybe I'm wrong.
They tried in 2015 with NFS, then in 2019 with NFS Heat, and now in 2022 with NFS Unbound so maybe this won't be as bad.
