GRID Legends is a fun racing game on PS5
Feel the Need for Speed
GRID Legends is the most recent racing game from developer Codemasters and publisher EA. Released at the end of February for all modern platforms, except Nintendo Switch, GRID Legends tries its best to entertain and fulfill the need for speed for those who want a fun experience.
With a story that will take between 4 and 5 hours to complete, an extensive solo campaign spanning multiple classes and strong competitive options, fans of the series will find a lot to like and enjoy.
The story named Driven to Glory, has the player take on the role of a novice racer and have him climb the ladder to become someone important. Nothing new or special, but if you are into the “from rags to riches” trope, you may be pleasantly surprised.
Codemasters has built GRID Legends upon the previous GRID title, launched in 2019, and improved on all aspects. With over 100 cars and a huge selection of tracks set all over the world, GRID Legends keeps the scenery fresh and challenging.
There are 22 locations with 130 tracks, including San Francisco, Shanghai, Barcelona, Indianapolis, and probably the least favorite destination now, Moscow.
The gameplay mechanics have been improved, the visuals are top-notch and the opponents will keep any experienced drivers on their toes, especially with the Nemesis feature returning. For those of you who don’t know about it, this means that if you inconvenience other drivers during a race, they will become aggressive and hunt you down. It’s a nice addition that will spice up the competition.
With all these said, GRID Legends is just a fun game, nothing to write home about, especially with DIRT 5 being the gift that keeps on giving for all Codemasters fans, and with Gran Turismo 7 taking over PlayStation consoles right and left.
If you are a GRID fan, you’ll find in Legends all the things you love about the series, but we think that GT7 and DIRT 5 are better products to spend your hard-earned money on.
In the end, I must touch on the fact that there are no accessibility options available in GRID Legends and that the amazing DualSens PS5 controller hasn’t been used to its highest abilities – that’s a shame because in DIRT 5 you can feel the car come alive in your hands.
All in all, GRID Legends feels like a step backward compared to DIRT 5, but it’s still a more than an ok racing game with a lot of potential for fans of the series.
