really good game but EA fix you launcher.

Need for Speed: Most Wanted 2005 is better!

EA, if you make NFS Most Wanted Remake;
=> Don't add microtransactions.
=> Don't add 24/7 multiplayer required.
=> Don't add weird childish cartoony graphics.

A lot of people leaving negative reviews due to the online-only requirement, but apart from that it's a very enjoyable game so far! The driving feels nice, the acted cutscenes are cringeworthy but charming and the game has absolutely no business looking so damn good while running so smoothly on my GTX1050 2gb. The endless rainy night aesthetic also gives the game such a nice atmosphere.

And sure, the EA launcher and always online requirement sucks, but I've never had any problems with the former (and it's kind of a background thing anyway) and EA has not said anything about shutting down the servers. Maybe they will some day, but I'm sure I've played through the game and moved on to other things by then (altho I still agree that games shouldn't just suddenly become unplayable one day). Easily worth the 4,50€ price.
