You can earn a lot of money quite quickly, and it's nice to have a reprieve from the relentless cops, but the open world is just better at night. There are lots of races, drift events, time trials, and more to play, but Palm City isn't as interesting a place to be in the daytime. The flip side is that playing during the day is a little flavourless. Your only hope is to escape, and only then can you bank your Rep and end the night. Worst of all is that getting busted will significantly reduce the amount of Rep you've accrued, meaning your time spent playing has amounted to nearly nothing. Fighting back isn't really an option with almost no tools to disable pursuing cars, you'll likely try and ram into them, but dealing damage in this way feels inconsistent. However, the higher your Heat, the more the police will throw at you, and outrunning them can quickly become nigh impossible.
If you're looking to earn serious Rep, increasing your Heat level acts as a multiplier, meaning you can earn up to five times as much. Getting into trouble with the law is inevitable during the night, and even encouraged due to the titular Heat system. You'll probably also hate them during chases, too, as they're super aggressive. There's quite a lot going on, and thankfully, most of it turns out pretty well. You have the open world Palm City to explore, with collectibles and events dotting the map with things to do, but you also have police pursuits, fleshed out vehicle customisation, and a story to, er, enjoy. It mixes together a bunch of elements from the series' past, feeling like a blend that's aiming to please everyone. The new Need for Speed is good, but is good enough?įor our money, Heat is probably Ghost's best attempt so far. However, it still has a few issues that hold it back from greatness. The latest racer from Ghost Games does a lot of things right, and it offers up a fun sandbox in which to race, drift, and cruise in style. Rivals was a fine enough PS4 launch title, but things have been on a downward spiral. The series has been on quite the journey this generation, going through several soft reboots in attempts to maintain relevance. Need for Speed Heat brings the franchise back from the brink of disaster, but it's only brought it back to being good again.
