It's not a bad game but rather disappointed. I'm expecting a franchise that will top the nfs2015. Love the level design and car customization.
There are lots of downsides in payback compared to other version of nfs. The story is boring, races are repetitive and the worst part about this game is that sometimes you just don't deserve the win and they let you get away with it. Or sometimes the npc doesn't deserve to win because they just magically overtook you with insane speed.
