The PC/Windows release ofNeed for Speed: Paybackis an arcade racing game, like the previous Need for Speed installments. The action of the game takes place in the open-structure city of Fortune Valley, with the day and night cycle. In the game, players participate in various races divided into several main categories. One of the biggest attractions offered by Payback is the presence of police chases, which occurred in somewhat different forms in many Need for Speed games. In addition to these quests, the game offers time challenges, races from other drivers, stunt competitions, and car battles. Surprisingly, Need for Speed: Payback also features off-road racing.
The game offers a wide range of licensed cars, divided into five main types: race, drift, off-road, drag and racer. As their names suggest, these cars were designed for different types of racing, for example the off-road car is not a very good choice for a drift competition. It is no surprise that the developers include the option to modify the cars in terms of appearance and performance. Additionally, the game offers the option to customize abandoned car remains, even turning them into supercars.
