The action takes place in Ventura Bay, where no one ever sleeps and the sun never shines, because the entire game takes place at night. NFS is an open world racing game, a subgenre we first saw with games such as Test Drive Unlimited back in 2006. Now, NFS is old enough to buy itself a beer, but is this latest version-a reboot developed by Ghost Games and the series' 22nd entry-any good? Over the years sequels came and went, as did NFS's reputation among gamers.

The first NFS appeared back in 1994 and was as close as console gamers had ever gotten to a sim racer, featuring realistic (for the time) handling and real-world cars. Need For Speed is one of the longest running game franchises in the industry-and quite possibly the most veteran in the racing genre.
