The first reviews of the recently released Need for Speed: Unbound race from Criterion Games studio began to appear on the web.

At the moment, according to available reviews, Unbound receives 82 points out of 100 on OpenCritic and 80 points out of 100 on Metacritic.

The press writes:Hobby Consolas: "Need for Speed Unbound does not reinvent the wheel, but improves it.

Criterion Games wanted to stand out with a new artistic style and more impressive technical capabilities, and it succeeded.

This is not the best race of the year, but NFS has appeared in front of us, which seeks to return the series to the highest category."

Windows Central: "Criterion managed to create a bright, beautiful and high-octane Need for Speed that dared to breathe new life into the franchise it desperately needed."

Attack of the Fanboy: "It's not a Need for Speed for your daddy, and maybe there's even a plus in it, as Unbound moves the franchise in a bold new direction, borrowing and improving almost everything good that was in Heat."

PlayStation Universe: "Unbound is undoubtedly the best Need for Speed in recent years.

Although the story campaign turned out to be not as attractive as we wanted, both in terms of plot and content, the game nevertheless lays a solid foundation for the future of the franchise and is of great importance both for fans of the series and for the street racing genre as a whole."

GamesRadar+: "Need for Speed Unbound perfectly demonstrates the capabilities of the new generation of platforms.

Criterion has made a high-quality and exciting open-world street race that is both technically great and strangely familiar."

PC Games: "Need for Speed Unbound is an exciting racing game with a stylish look, great tuning possibilities and successful arcade gameplay, but without significant improvements compared to its predecessor."

Ordinary players, for the most part, were also satisfied with the return of Need for Speed from Criterion.

In a few days since its release, the game has collected over two thousand reviews on Steam from users who have played, and in 80% of cases, the race is given a positive assessment.

Need for Speed Unbound was released on December 2 on Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5 and PC. The game also has a free 10-hour trial for EA Play subscribers.
