[Origin] Need for Speed Heat Deluxe - $4.50 (95% off) - Week-end free to play !

I guess this doesn't work on Steam Deck?

The world is actually better than you think!

Install GoG Galaxy and experience a world where you have no idea where your games come from... you just play them. It integrates all games from near all stores in to one interface. You can see what you own and from what service (shows if you own it on multiple services as well and lets you choose which service to play that game on). I have thousands of games across many stores and services, so GoG Galaxy is a lifesaver.

It sure does.

Thanks for this heads-up! I was just about to jump on this deal, but checked my Origin account, and I have this!

It's different. More "free roam" oriented and focused on customization.

I've always been a fan of NFS games but this was absolute trash (probably the worse one I've played). I got it for free from the Prime Gaming promo a month back and played it for 20min before uninstalling. I found the physics and oddly, the camera angles particularly bad.

Payback was great if you're looking for a new-ish NFS game.

I've also played every NFS game... and I really enjoy(ed) Heat. Here is Opencritic to help anyone decide for themselves:

Hot Pursuit was the GOAT of them all.

BTW this one was given away on Amazon Prime Gaming a few months ago.

Oh, fiddle-dee-dee. I finally decided to pay for this game today, but it turns out the DLC isn't free anymore for some strange reason.

Oh well, it's not all that important anyway.

Man I used to love racing games like this, but now I have a racing sim setup and been trying to get into sim type games and mostly been playing Forza and the GT series before that.
Its been weird and somewhat forgotten how much I missed these arcade style semi story driven NFS type games nowadays.

I was curious which modern NFS games are the best as I feel they have had a fairly poor reputation overall lately. I'm seeing heat and payback as some good newer NFS games?

To me I loved the first few NFS, than hot pursuit, than the good ol underground series. The one that I personally feel is underappreciated is NFS Carbon, especially on the Wii believe it or not lol.
The wii motion controls/steering actually added so much to this game and I believe had a fully functional clutch button if enabled which was amazing.
Playing those canyon duals/boss fights on my new sim setup with wheel and stick shifter 120" projector and full sound system really blows my mind, the music and atmosphere was so intense, not to mention actually really challenging.
Really made me miss these types of games, vs the stale sim racers, even horizon never really grabbed me like I thought it would personally.

I'm actually quite curious about this newest NFS Unbound, going back to the streets with an urban aesthetic, dialog seems much improved over the over the top fast and furious wannabe characters that were in turn hilarious to me, unbound actually seems toned down and more street/hip hop influenced which is quite cool and interesting imo.
