PLEASE MAKE THIS GAME PLAYABLE OFFLINE. DONT LET IT DIE.Show moreShow less
Need for Speed (2016) has an awesome night atmosphere and the game looks beautiful. But the only reason I’m giving it 0/10 is the always-online requirement. You must stay connected all the time with a stable internet connection, or you simply can’t play at all. And the worst part? Most of the time there aren’t even 1–2 players in the racing events. So why do we have to be online to play a mostly solo game? It’s 2025, not 2016 — they should release an offline patch so we can enjoy the story mode and free roam solo without any connection.Show moreShow less
NFS Underground 2 should be added to steam store as well...Show moreShow less
My biggest complaint and the main reason I would not recommend this game is that ur forced to play online even if you’re not using any of the online features. I bought this game so I can play it on my steam deck when I travel, only to find out the game is unplayable without an internet connection. Highly recommend playing any other racing game.Show moreShow less
