well, so much for this game winning Game of the Year 2024

First and foremost, for the people expecting this to be a story-based RPG just like Pokemon, this game is not it. This game, at its core, is a survival game first, with Pokemon splashed in.

That said, Game Freak, please take note. This is how you do an open world Pokemon game. This game is only in Early Access and its still way better optimized than Scarlet and Violet.

Edit:

Nominating for GotY just to spite Nintendo.

it just works

There's a nice balance between grip and drift styles now compared to the drift heavy meta of Heat. HOWEVER, single and multiplayer progression is split. It means the game is far more grindy now unless you're doing one of those money making glitches where you get a dozen copies of the same car in your garage (what is this, GTA Online?).

Personally speaking, the shared progression system in Heat was a lot better.

If they gave us the new physics and gameplay mechanics of Unbound with the progression of Heat, we could've had the perfect NFS game. But because of the grindy nature of Unbound created by the split progression system, I have to recommend Heat over Unbound.
