On normal difficulty, you get four restarts to use each day, which is a good, challenging number to keep you honest. Though it has to be said there really isn’t that much tight cornering to deal with, so if you get left behind, you might as well reach for the restart. Keeping your boosts coming is the hook here, and it’s enjoyable. Following closely behind other cars fills your boost gauge, as does drifting and performing near-misses with civilian road users. You have to be absolutely on point to keep up with the leader of the pack, and Need for Speed Unbound is beautifully balanced when you’re gunning for the win. The racing itself, however, is surprisingly challenging. It feels odd, especially when you cut a corner, hit an actual boulder, and it bounces away like a balloon. Lamp posts, bus shelters… even 80% of Armco barriers just go up in a disappointingly small puff of debris and you continue unabated. If an object doesn’t stop you dead, it’ll barely slow you at all. Ni no Kuni II: Revenant Kingdomīut most of all, much of the scenery may as well simply not be there. Oncoming traffic is light and easy to spot in the distance, and it’s rare to have a rival car or police vehicle overtake you with inhuman speed – an all-too familiar sight in previous Need for Speed games. Need for Speed Unbound has been optimized to remove as much frustration from the core racing experience as possible. When even medium-sized trees pose literally no threat to anyone, it’s hard to lose your tail.
On the other hand, the police chases are easily the most impressive segments of Need for Speed Unbound, and decent fun, though it would be nice if there were more opportunity for canny takedowns or clever driving between scenery elements.

Your Heat level only resets each morning, which means any money you make must be sneaked past the cops and banked at a safe house or you risk the fuzz confiscating the whole pot.
Instead you start most days with a zero Heat level, and this builds as you complete illegal meet-up events and take down patrol cars. As with its predecessor, 2019’s Need for Speed Heat, there’s a day/night mechanism to contend with, only here neither is cop-free. It’s cool, but could have been even more so had this sense of style spread to the city itself. Little graffiti-style tags flash up above your car when you perform a successful takedown, story scenes occasionally add cartoony elements for effect, and the cars even sprout cosmetic-only spray paint wings when they get big enough air.
