The concept of Need for Speed was never complex. While Heat isn't a masterpiece that pushes innovative concepts, it feels like a return to form in many ways. The short time between the game's announcement and release has combined with a relatively toned-down marketing effort to make this entry feel like it could be a last-ditch attempt to get the franchise back on track. Naturally, that has dampened expectations for the latest installment in the series, Need for Speed Heat. Its current developer, Ghost Games, didn't have the best run with a mediocre reboot in 2015 and an even more problematic follow-up with NFS Payback just two years ago. After 25 years filled with almost as many releases, the Need for Speed series has been through many highs and lows but has remained firmly dedicated to arcade racing entertainment.
