I always enjoyed NFS games for the internal RP I do as I play, kinda like Skyrim. Gameplay itself is stale but the way the style of gameplay is setup lends itself so weaving a story of yourself as the protagonist.
I enjoyed Heat the most out of the Ghost era NFS’s because the day & night gameplay. I would have two cars - daytime car was colorful and sponsored, and night car was a satin black V8 993 Porsche Frankenstein thing of a machine that had a star for every heat level 5 pursuit I’d survive. Nothing about the story promoted that, but my internal RP was digging it.
I think this game will be similar, but it’s like you’re the main character in a really good initial D story. That sounds like a fun prospect with the way I play the games.
But hopefully the art style isn’t too intrusive, and kinda like The Crew 2 where you can avoid the stupidity of neons and smoke effects if you chose not to partake.
