While it’s not the highest ranking Need for Speed title on Metacritic, reviewers have given the 2017 release 61 points out of 100.
Set in the underworld of Fortune Valley, players and their crew are divided by betrayal and reunited by revenge to take down The House, a nefarious cartel that rules the city’s casinos, criminals and cops.
“I first didn’t like this game but when I did play it again, it was more fun than I remember,” wrote one reviewer on Metacritic.

“The story wasn’t the best one and the map can be repetitive sometimes but everything else felt pretty good… This game is underrated in my opinion and deserves more love.”
Gamers can play with pals online.
But remember, PS Plus is required for online play.
Need for Speed Payback is a “great racing game” according to a critics review from USgamer.

However, some gamers have failed to move past the “B-movie” story line.
Game Over Online’s critics review said: “Need For Speed Payback isn’t perfect – but it’s a nice step up from prior entries.
“Outside of Rivals, the series has really struggled over the past five or so years to really find its own way.
“Going for an action movie-styled variant is great for an ad campaign – but doesn’t make for a great campaign itself.
“Fortunately, the racing action and cop chases that litter the campaign make it worth playing.
“It looks great in motion, even if the action doesn’t hold up very well.
“The cop chases are exciting and the point-to-point races bring a level of arcade-style thrill that the series definitely benefits from.”
