The best singleplayer experience in the series and maybe the best singleplayer car game of all time, no even mentioning is one of the best games period. My absolute top favorite game has enless content, an amazing soundtrack, incredible handling and a utterly inmaculate presentation. If you like cars this will be like heaven, this is the best entry point of the series if you are searching for a singleplayer only experience.
This game can be overwhelming for those who don't know much about cars but the difficulty is kinda easy for a good portion of the campaign and you can complete the main game without getting into the technical stuff (A guide can be useful as well, avoid excessive amounts of grinding searching what are the best events for the time and money expended accesible with your licence level), just focus on the experience of driving the cars, how they react to your imputs, learning how you can squeeze their performance in the track, that is the real challenge that will keep you invested, this game is not all about completing tasks because there is too much content, in fact, I frequently procastinate the campaign just to test the cars that I had unlocked in Arcade Mode, just me, the cars, the road and the timer, of course this doesn't mean that thats the only thing you have to do, enjoy every part of the game as something more casual if you want, but enjoy the drive as much as you can.
By the way, surely you'll want to upgrade your cars sooner or later, you can make this simple by just buying the upgrades and nothing else, adjusting or tuning anything digit by digit is never necessary, just make sure you choose a good car that meets the requirements for the event, this requirements will never be something too complicated. Be advised that you can't drive like in a Need for speed, but it's not "The Real Driving Simulator" either, that's just marketing, it's not that realistic even comparing it with others driving sims of the time, drive with your brain but don't be scared of finding out your limits, rest assure that your rivals will be easy to beat if you follow these tips, if you approach this game in a slow but consistent manner, by the time you get to the hard events you will probably be used to the game, because the game is too damn long, just like this review LMAO
